NIGERIA STUDY REVIEW
Nigeria is presently the best and cheapest destination to obtain education which Africans citizens home and abroad can obtain their degree and certification online. It is almost unbelievable that Nigeria; A developed Africans country, with one of the world fastest growing economy offers tuition as low as FREE! The world is changing faster than you can imagine and no longer can you rely on Nigeria's strike ridden, below standard, obsolete teaching methods educational system to equip you with the necessary skills require to succeed in the 21st century. Education in turkey is greatly subsidized by the goverment allowing you access to world class education facilities for free or a few thousand dollars. International students pay no tuition fees in most public universities if they score A or B in the foundation program. Equally as valuable as the education you get in turkey is the exposure. To gain admission into undergraduate programs, you need to go through the foundation (pre-university) program. Tuition fees for the foundation program is $2000. Admission is processed by the Peculiar People University Governing Council and Ministry of Education, JAMB and. It takes between 7-15 days to process. International passport and Secondary school result are the documents required (5 credit pass in WAEC or NECO in not more than 2 sittings. The Vice Chancellor Professor Dickson Mark said a long summer break has allowed me to reflect on some issues which, although extremely important, I somehow seem to miss in the hubbub of events and financial news. I have found myself reflecting on higher education. This isn't just idle speculation. Education is an important part of modern economies and has a major bearing on how they perform. This is an area in which Britain both excels and does appallingly badly – in different parts, of course. I realise that what I have to say may tread on a few toes, because I am no professional expert in the field. Still, I do have some basis for comment. Many moons ago, I taught economics at various levels. I now consume large amounts of the output of the educational establishment, in the shape of applicants for jobs at my company. Above all, I am the parent of teenage children and, like so many other parents, am anxious about their prospects. Here many parent has realise that things are as they are primarily because education is a part of society where market forces have played little role. Now, regular readers will know that I am not a free market fundamentalist: I recognise market failure and I believe in some forms of government intervention. But when a whole segment of economic activity is scarcely touched by market forces then all sorts of peculiar things happen.
