Can Nigerian Graduates Compete Globally Under the Current Curriculum?

Can Nigerian Graduates Compete Globally Under the Current Curriculum? — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Many Nigerian graduates struggle to find work because our curriculum is outdated and emphasizes obedience over innovation. Industry leaders argue that graduates lack digital literacy and problem-solving skills needed in today’s ICT sector. Critics say this unfairly paints all graduates with the same brush. The federal proposal to restructure the 6-3-3-4 system and update the NYSC curriculum aims to integrate STEM, applied arts and critical thinking from primary school. As many elites send their children abroad for education, the question remains: can a modernised system help more Nigerians succeed at home and on the global stage?
