The Discernment of Students’ Participants in Sandwich Education Programme in Some Nigerian Universities

Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Education and Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

Abstract:Semi-structured questionnaire matrix was used to assess the discernment of participants of sandwich education programs on the programs in five of Nigerian universities. Results revealed that the sandwich system was readily accepted. Participants were of diverse socio-economic classes thus suggesting that the program is accessible to all. Employment was the dominant factor that deprived respondents from regular studentship. The mode of operations and quality of lecture delivery in the programs were comparable to those of the regular programs. The same entry requirements, curricula and personnel, assessment methods, disciplinary measures, welfare services and certificates were awarded. Same recognitions were accorded to the degrees awarded. The tuition fees paid by the sandwich students were higher than those of the regular programs, learning was more stressful and hostel accommodations were indecent and costly. Interactions with other students were poor due to gross lack of time. However, the program constitutes an avenue for self improvement as it offers opportunity to combine work with study. It also offers opportunity for provision of fund to finance the study and enhance participant personal traits such as time management skills, goals setting and hard working abilities.
