Almighty sun has the right to shine by day, but it gives way to the moon at Night, Little birds has the right to sing the songs of their life, and fishes own the oceans, but here in West Africa, the basic educational rights of youths and children has been denied. The average and poor ones will never feel the four walls of a class room, their dreams die with them, and their world roasts in agony.
We are crying aloud from West Africa, and we want the world to hear our voices...
The education system in West Africa is facing monumental challenges. Reflecting resource inefficiencies and misallocations in the composition of public spending across educational levels, and poor quality of schooling from elementary to higher education, gross enrollment rates both at the primary and secondary levels are
low, even when compared with the averages for Sub Saharan Africa. Grade repetition and dropping out of primary school before completion are serious problems. Few children proceed to lower secondary school. For those who do make it to secondary school, repetition continues to be a problem. Girls are at a particular disadvantage. Across all grades, repetition and dropout rates are systematically higher for girls than for boys.
What do we do to control all these, without sound education, our people shall remain in abject poverty. we must not let them ruin us..yes...yes...my bakery is sober...i shall bake this story for the world to read
When the issue of West Africa educational system today is raised, the first sets of thoughts that comes to my mind are: decline in standard, deterioration of facilities, examination malpractices, mass promotion syndrome and the like before any other thing else. This calls for an in-depth study and analysis aimed at tutoring each and every stakeholders in the education system on how their actions and inactions have individually and collectively contributed to the collapsing state of education in West Africa
Among children that do progress through schools, there is considerable concern about the extent of learning and cognitive outcomes. Issues of quality of teachers, characteristics of school infrastructure, supplies and equipment, the home environment and parental background, all represent concerns over the value added of going to school, and may depress demand among parents
Going by these explanation as to what education is, in relation to the state of education and its process in our region today as well as the attitude of its providers-Government at all levels and private investors; one with interest will be compelled to ask such questions as what has actually gone wrong considering the enormity of its effect on the output. We shall wait no more, i call upon my fellow youths, children and those parents that has our love in their heart, let us arise and let the world hear our tears....Arise my people, let us embrace our Educational rights...Join Our Cry for Educational reforms in West Africa.
