As ASSU calls off the eight-months old strike which has paralysed education sector and the economy apparently the time to commence counting the losses inflicted by the behemoth has come.
At the just ended United Nations General Assembly (UNGA77) the President of World Bank group hit the nail on the head when he aptly observed:
"A silent learning crisis is unfolding that has become devastating shock to human capital. We need to work to prevent further damage and build more effective systems. We urge you the world leaders, to meet this crisis head-on and act to improve learning outcomes for all children everywhere"
If you extrapolate that to Nigerian situation you'd find a devastating blow not only to the students and their financial losses, but also a blow that has thrown the Federal Government off balance.
Certainly this is a tough time for all the stakeholders in this prolonged strike action requiring each of them to mitigate their losses.
Our sympathy is always on the students and their sponsors for going through the rough road. Yet, there must be something to fall back on......
One or two skills acquisition training should have been completed during that period of discontent and unproductivity.
Some of the students that took advantage of our training program are better equipped than their counterparts.
You're welcome to DM and find out details of how to keep learning even when you've been stopped from continuing by circumstances beyond your control.
Your progress.
