Is Nigeria’s Outdated Curriculum Holding Our Graduates Back Globally?
The outdated academic curriculum in Nigeria fails to equip graduates with essential skills for modern careers. A system built to produce obedient employees rarely creates value-driven entrepreneurs or problem solvers. A fintech CEO recently highlighted gaps in digital literacy and ICT skills among job applicants. Critics argue his views unfairly generalise from limited encounters. Meanwhile, the government has proposed restructuring the 6-3-3-4 system and overhauling NYSC training. Leading nations integrate STEM, languages and digital learning from primary school. Their graduates excel globally thanks to practical training, internships and a problem-solving mindset. Many Nigerian elites send their children abroad to secure these advantages.
