A United Kingdom based education and political consultant, Mr. Samuel Taiwo has urged the Nigerian government to involve professionals in the management of the education sector for quality education in the system. In a congratulatory message to the newly elected senate president senator Ahmed Lawan and Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila, Taiwo who is an International Education and Political Strategist with many years experience in developing Education standards in America, United Kingdom and many African countries, believes the whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.
He said it is time Nigerian Leaders take the re-structuring of education system that is in serious dis-repair and uphold high standards. u “For us to empower, to maintain standards, and quality, we need to set a new minimum standards, maintaining and constantly improving all schools,” he emphasised. Mr. Taiwo Also stated that in order to achieve uniform standards, in the federation, the Federal Ministry of Education, needs to think out of the box by getting a new body to promote high standards and guard the Nigerian education system, reform basic education: Possibly form a new body. For example he said, the Nigerian government need to form a new body namely Nigeria office of standards in Education (NOFSTED) He said, “As many Nigerians youths, Student Union and many other Nigerians are urging me to lead a better education system campaign, haven seen the great work done in improving standards abroad.”
“It time our leaders use an experience, educationist expert to improve standards in Nigerian education. An educational system isn’t worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn’t teach them how to make a life.”
