Ikeaka Clement Writes On Our Sliding Educational System

Most of our leaders while growing up in early 60s,&70s are being forced or encouraged to go to school by the then administrations and have jobs waiting for them as they graduate cos they were all born in agrarian days.
Some of them were on scholarship,very few after they graduated here were sent abroad on free education,some were sponsored by the government,while some were backed by a community or town.
Some were sponsored by either their parents or relatives.
Back then education was more like a light shining in darkness and everybody regardless the tribes embrace it.
Back then,there's no or little travelling outside the country to school cos our educational system was rated as one the best.
In the late 70s,$1/#1.
Education was attractive,and lucrative.
Back then,our government through his minister of education made education a beautiful bride,they have educational educating programmes,educative opra on tv,debate and quiz competitions on national ��,scholarships for brilliant students,awards,sponsorships,endorsements,and ambassadorial packages for best candidates and even special working positions for them.
It was an achievement and investment to all the parents.

But today,in 21st century,in a computer �� age the situation is opposite.

Where do we get it wrong?
And what can be done to get it right?

Good morning....
