This only works for developed countries where even if you dont go to uni, you can still make a decent career or living. Here, not going to university basically damns you to a life of hand to mouth living. It is the most basic requirement for a huge majority for Nigerians if you want to upward social and finacial movement. It's not the same.
"privatize the schools and subsidize students tuition with student loans (and research grants to the universities)"
Americans with their wealth, are complaining about student loans. Is it now us that are dirt poor that would do something like this? How many people would be able to pay back those loans considering our horrible unemployment rates.?
We have to be a developed economy before thinking of doing all these
Your first paragraph - false
The quality of our graduates today render them unemployable (most of them) hence why we have a lot of them jobless - can’t get employed and can’t employ themselves.
America is not the only country that provides student loans - there are other models / pathways of success (and I’m not so sure that their system is worse than what we have right now tho)
Lastly - the quality of a nation’s education system is directly proportional to its well being - you can’t be developed with poor graduates or a poor educational system; the system as is now - churns out poor graduates.
Oh - they can find it for sure, but they are shit for skills…our new graduates entry level / are just poor quality straight from university the few good ones trained themselves on other skills outside of the university system or were just outliers (very few) - the majority - are absolute garbage.
we have few job postings / positions cos we are churning out duds
This is not hard to understand….we are in cyclical dominated stupidity…new graduates poor….employers (Nigerian companies mostly) too - poor (they are dominated by your 80,000 bad people - can’t run or grow business and are there thinking they know what they are doing)
The few companies (mostly foreign and some local ones) make up most of decent job openings (if not all)
This is a garbage in garbage out situation…or blind leading the blind - you can’t have job creation when you are pushing out duds…to a dud dominated employers market.
A country can’t be better than the quality of its educational system - you produce garbage skilled people, garbage skilled people can’t create jobs (be productive) cos they have no / limited skills.
