Countries like Singapore, Finland, Korea, China, Canada, Netherlands and the UK rank as countries with the best system of education and the reason for that is not far-fetched. These countries use creative education which allows students exercise their independent form of imagination and critical thinking, making them take practical and out-of-box perspectives at finding solutions to problems, coupled with systems that allow divergent approaches to learning.
According to Founder, Creat Naija, Lekan Dauda, “Over the years, the Nigerian educational system has built a reputation in producing robots who have no knowledge in handling practical systems. This explains why mainstream and emerging industries are discrediting certificates emerging from the system.” “You will agree that most of the problems we currently have in our country is a result of indecisions and wrong decisions we made in the past. Several countries have modified their learning systems while we want to be onlookers,” he added. Our system of education does not cater for kids in primary and secondary schools who are treading the path to creative careers, says Dauda, while adding that, “Everyone knows what they want to become in primary school and starts to get confused as they grow. “The system of education in use was tailored to serve what industries of the 19th century needed; literacy.”
