Do you agree with me that government schools is going down on a daily basis.

I was not pleased when i came across a story in social media were a lady was speaking the heart of the students in the social media by calling on the chairman of ahoada local government in River State to come to their aid so that the chairman can write to the government or solve the problem, and could you believe that after the class room teacher finished showing those affected that needs the attention of the government to work because most of the class rooms building and zinc need renovation, i hard that the lady was beating up by the local government chairman in Ahoada local in Rivers State, i know that some time those that we elected to be speaking for us and letting the government the problems that need urgent attention in the society but due to their own selfish interest they will aboundon all that they promise to do for people, i know that sometimes we blame the government but I'm here to say that all problems is not the government but our brothers that will choose to be communicating for us through government.

We are the government and just as we usually say let the change we want begins with us, there are lot of disappointment from the government I mean our representatives in various arms of the government, projects are being awarded but yet they will share the money among themselves leaving the projects while the poor masses suffer the pains, it is so bad how things are getting worse instead of getting better, most of the government teachers doesn't go to work as expected but receive their monthly salaries and even some hospitals are lacking so many facilities and even the ones they have are not functioning as a result of inactive staff who are only interested in their monthly salaries.

Government schools are going down, including the federal schools. This issue is not from the government directly is from our professors who should be supporting education from the grassroot, i seat one day, I'm begin to think why our primary schools and secondary school has turned into a playing ground for children? Is it because they are no seat in the school, some building are falling down but everybody decide to keep quiet not even the professors raise this issue to stop all these damages just because they have been paid well in their institution.

The government is falling down every day because even the university are suffering from the setback of both primary and secondary school are suffering from now, they are all aware and the knew when primary school and secondary school are being taken for granted but because they were not affected.

Anyone who occupies an elective position form part of the government and in this particular case you brought up, the government is the problem here. The government school will continue to go down in this country if the people that have the interest of the masses at heart are not elected into office. Or there should be a legislation that all public office holders should send their children to public school in the country. Until any of these two things I listed are done, the public schools in Nigeria will continue to be a mess.

Government Schools in this part of the country has gone down for a longer period of time now, it's just getting public attention because of the presence of social media, our leaders neglect our public schools to the extent it dilapidates and you can't even find a single chair in class rooms, imagine the guts and audacity that the chairman has to intimidate the poor girl who spoke for the well-being of the children suffering without chair and leakages, just because he is in position of authority.

Governance is all about criticism, once you are a leader you must be criticize and good leaders uses the criticism to work for their advantage by repairing what they have been criticize for not to harass those that speak up, the chairman is not mentally fit to be a leader because he doesn't have the charisma to lead. Nigeria system is a zoo if not the chairman would have been removed from office with immediate effect for harassing and beating up the poor lady. Due to the negligence of our leaders concerning government schools it continues to go down everyday and there are no teachers to teach the students, too bad.

A total mess, I must concure. I love the two points you just raised, especially the last, there should be a legislative law that binds all government office holders to keep there children in government schools, else you won't rule, and see if government schools wouldn't be the best in town, or see wether any of them can risk loosing there offices just to send there children abroad for education. I just wish it's gonna be possible, but hell no, it can't be, because they are the once will going to enact the law and sign it into law, and thus, they can't agree to what will affect them negatively. But sincerely, government schools in Nigeria are really suffering due to greed. From the principal down to the least worker is self concerned and not rte future of the future leaders so to say. Maybe, only miracle can save us, because sincerely, we have lost it completely

[ArabBTC]

Yes the Nigerian government is not doing well when it comes to public schools, however the reduction in standard of education shouldn’t be perked to infrastructure alone, teaching someone well is not subject to good building alone, i attended a public secondary school were cultism and bad infrastructure was on a high rate yet i had teachers that knew what they were doing, teachers that were dedicated, the teachers back then were able to use the local materials we had available in the school to impact us with so much knowledge, as a matter of fact we competed with private schools and still won on several occasions because sometimes it’s not all about the physical structure but the zeal and the efforts of the teachers and students too, but this days most of the teachers are half backed, they are more concerned about money, hence don’t pay attention to details that is why our educational system keep on falling.

On the other hand our government are extremely wicked and unfair to the educational sector, a state like Rivers with the kind of generated revenue they make should always ensure schools are kept in good shape and also ensure that teachers are well paid so that there will be motivation, our government must wake up and ensure that schools, hospitals and security is there goal.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

The reason is cumulative, no government where everyone because the head can get required result, I can vow during my days in school government school despite lacking some required facilities still maintain certain standard unlike what it's today, situation where different government school takes holiday's without aligning with the federal for unknown reason not even issued by the federal but state it will bring down standard of education. Most time issue of many leaders children or those that are financially solvent don't school in the country even the middle class seek national private institution to send their children,the educational system will collapsed because there is no balance in the system. Secondly hardly in our today educational system you see government officials going from school to school in monitoring day to day activities and performance of their employed teachers like before the school system is already down an will take greater force to revived it.

My thoughts on why the chairman had to go to the extent of beating up the woman after she made that video show's that something is off, is either the contract has been awarded to him and he didn't do the work or may be his covering for a higher up. This are the things we face in this country, people are being given jobs and well funded but at the end of the day nothing is done and once an alarm is raised you get beaten up or being threatened.

Most of our problems are those people who are elected in our local government, community leaders and not even the government itself, you'll go to some government school's to see only few chairs some pupils will even sit on the bare floor to learn , some no blackboard for teacher's to write on and if you check well, most of this things are being awarded to someone and he/she used the money for their selfish reasons.

I attended a government school back and then it was different altogether, we had a beautiful environment, well trained teachers, neat classrooms, and you can walk to the principals office anytime if you need anything from her, but this days it quite different as you hardly see who the headmaster or principal is, teacher's mostly attend school put their names in attendance and zoom off to their personal business instead of teaching students which is the primary reason why they're employed.

Government school used to be the best then, because of how devoted teacher's were back then, my older sister works in a government school and she told me that a student who missed her test came to offer her money so that she can pass him and according to what the student said that he used to pay some of the teachers if he skips test or exams so they give him his score, i couldn't say anything when she was telling me that, even the principal is the worst as most of the students tips him too. Government school is becoming something else on daily basis as the government and those In charge of our local board aren't helping matters as well, hope something can be done about fixing most of these government schools that needs urgent attention.

When you talk about government, there are different levels of governance and it runs from the top to the butom with all of them completely chained together in a particular order.

We have the president, governors, local government chairman, councilors and ward representative.  Each of them communicate with one another and for a case as this, there's no way the local government chairman will say that he's not aware of the state of the building that has gone down even upto that point. If through the awareness that was created by the lady the local government chairman can get to her just to abuse her, what then stops him from taking responsibility and swinging right into action? The only thing here is that we always behave as though the political class are above the law and so whatever they want to do they can do it at will and goes Scot free. Ideally the law is supposed to affect everyone involved from the top to the button and wether you're a governments official or night, your right is limited in the context of attacking a citizen that did you no harm.
