There is no gain-saying that the edifice of our school system has collapse from roof down to it’s foundation. The sector overhaul is long overdue. It doesn’t need a master plan, it needs a MARSHAL PLAN….because it a warfare not a debate.
It is in that activist regard that I posit that Alumni can scale up interventionist role of donating a block here and there or lab of hardwares without softwares to one of critical partnership at the centre of learning by providing MENTORSHIP AND LEADERSHIP to the young ones being moulded in our society.
Alumni influence in physical and intellectual presence are chronically lacking in almost all segments of our school system. Where Alumni pay visit to Alma mater, it is either condolence, one jubilee or another or a boisterous re-union with school mauflers hanging down their shoulders or parading in shiny blazers with a few cocktails to quench their bourgeois apeti.and show off selfies and smirking group pics all over social media.
When was the last time any ALUMNI went through learning reunion with the young scholars in those schools?
While we chase after infrastructure we left the minds and souls of our younger generations in those schools and then complain of collapsed school system.
A stitch in time saves nine. Let’s get innovative and creative to wage and win this educational war.
Let Alumni coalesce energy and play the critical partnership role with key stakeholders to save Nigeria”s educational system. A utility player is a goal getter in the injury time.
