Repositioning Nigerian Teacher Education For Cross Border Education: Past & Present
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
The Nigerian educational system used to be admired hence people from other countries came to study in Nigeria. Then the graduates from Nigerian universities were widely sought after by multinational companies and such graduates were sought for by world first class universities for post graduate programmes. During the period the teacher education programme on ground was rich and diversified. Then all efforts were geared towards taking the Nigerian teacher education programme to higher notch, the Nigerian education system attracted students and scholars from other countries of the world. The cross boarder education enriched the education system further and produced functional and self-reliant graduates. However, the story has changed. The system is no longer enviable hence students from outside the country no longer desire to study in Nigeria. Even candidates from Nigeria who desire functional education look for admission outside Nigeria. And very few scholars from outside Nigeria are teaching in Nigerian educational institution. There is therefore dearth of cross boarder education due to the poor quality of the education enterprise. This may not be unconnected to the poor quality of teacher education in the country. This paper examined the Nigerian teacher education and advocates for its repositioning through some measures for cross boarder education.
