Schools of 'theorilogy'

I have looked at the situation in the educational system with my unexperienced eyes and what i have seen is problematic. Part of the problem with Nigeria is our educational system is filled with theories. Pure and simple avogardo's law ohms law biot-savart law and a million other laws that were rammed up our brains so that we could get good grades and 'graduate'. These good grades is the difference between the good and bad students. What if he/she wasnt good in maths and was good in music or fine art. Waec says maths, english and any three subjects must be passed, why maths? Why english? Why not accounts and yoruba? Most youths have no sense of why they want to go for masters degree.."make i add to my C.V." One said. Some believe that it would enable them get good jobs. True... But not totally. U go for masters and you learn more theories. Then you in your way begin to educate yourself.The labour market is overflowing, we, the youth, should start employing each other instead of waiting for goverment or large firm jobs The difference life and school is that school teaches you then gives u a test. Life tests you and then you learn a lesson. Our labs have more chairs than apparatus and some computer science university students cant even couple a computer. We have gotten to a stage where we have to revolutionalize our educational system. Heads have to literally roll for us to achieve this. Let us not forget... God does not create stupid people...Our educational system does.
