The Director General of the National Teachers Institute (NTI), Professor Garba Maitafsir, has said that as a lecturer at the University, he came across a PhD Student who could not write his name properly.
He said that the falling standard of education was not as a result of systemic failure, but as a result of teaching, insisting that teachers’ quality must be properly checked if Nigeria must get its education system right.
According to him, a situation where the country has a beautiful policy of free and compulsory education for up to 18 years, but in practice, it is not being
implemented cannot yield the desired result.
