Education and the Thinking of a Leader. 28-11-2017

It's been an interesting time in my country which is Nigeria in the last few weeks, a governor took upon himself, not the first time but he just happens to be one that's very media attractive should i say a media attractive governor decided to run a test for teachers to find out if they were capable of actually teaching. Like I said, it's not the first time it's been done, it was done in Ekiti state, it created a lot of problems for the governor why, because teachers form a huge chunk of the civil service and the civil service do vote and when this tests were administered in Ekiti state and in Kaduna state as you know recently, quite a few teachers did not pass now for some reasons, there was protest and as someone who is a product of the Educational system in Nigeria when the educational was world class, i felt sad, i don't know the politics of it, some say it was a tool of persecution, let's forget the politics, let's just focus on teachers being competent enough to teach.
