(EKSU Printing Press, 2017) Aiyede, E. I.; Olagunju, T. O.; Adeleye, I . A.
Causes and effects of global economic recession have been discussed by scholars from different perspectives in recent times. It was observed that Economy in Africa has not been growing well compared to developed continents in the world due to problems of underdevelopment occasioned by bad governance, and wide-spread corruption. Nigeria economy at present is undergoing a severe experience of an economic recession. Since some of the factors undermining development in Africa are also responsible for economy that slid into recession, the focus of this paper is to identify and discuss factors that are responsible for economic recession in Nigeria and explain how it can be tackled through the teaching of Literature-in- English in secondary schools. The writers are of the opinion that the inculcation of desirable societal virtues such as patriotism, honesty, dignity of labour, self-sacrifice through compulsory teaching of Literature in English will be in line with the federal government change mantra and help in revamping the nation’s economy that slid into recession
Bilingual and multilingual medium of instruction policy: A panacea for creating an Inclusive learning environment in Nigeria
(2024) Adetunji, A.R.; Fakeye.D.O; Aiyede, E. I.
This paper examines the potential of bilingual and multilingual medium of instruction (MOI) policy as a solution for creating an inclusive learning environment in Nigeria. With over 250 ethnic languages and a complex linguistic diversity, Nigeria's education system faces significant challenges in providing equal access to quality education for all students. The dominant use of English as the sole MOI has resulted in a linguistic barrier, marginalizing mother-tongue speakers and perpetuating educational inequalities. This research argues that a well-implemented bilingual and multilingual MOI policy can address these challenges by promoting linguistic diversity and inclusivity, enhancing academic achievement and cognitive development, fostering cultural preservation and identity, bridging the gap between home and school languages, empowering marginalized communities through a critical analysis of existing literature, policy documents, and stakeholder interviews, this study explores the benefits, challenges, and implementation strategies of bilingual and multilingual MOI policy in Nigeria. The findings highlight the need for a contextualized and flexible approach, taking into account regional language dynamics, teacher training, and resource allocation. This research contributes to the ongoing debate on language policy and education in Nigeria, providing evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders to create a more inclusive and effective education system. By embracing linguistic diversity, Nigeria can unlock the potential of its diverse student population and foster a more equitable and harmonious society.
Value education: essential tool for socio-political and economic development in Nigeria
(Social Studies Association of Nigeria, 2017-04) Ajitoni, O. S.; Omoniyi, T. O.
The neglect of ethical values, which should form the substratum of any good education, has led to ineffectual, decadent, and poor learning. The duty of every society is to pass on the values enshrined in its scriptures and philosophical texts to each generation, in order, that the spirit of its culture lives on. Findings showed that a society with no required values cannot witness peace, growth and development. What is obtainable in the Nigeria society today are flagrant abuse of office, high and low profile corruption, poor attitude to work, gross misconduct, flair for frivolity and materialism, dependency of the Judiciary, lack of trust and so on. It was discovered that in planning for good values and objectives, the teachers and students, leaders and followers will have to cooperate and work together as a team, an indivisible entity. The purpose of education is to strengthen character in the younger generation which would provide solution to the problems facing Nigeria as a nation. This can only be achieved when education is value-oriented. The paper, therefore, recommends the core values of democracy which promotes a secure physical, emotional and political locus within the society. There is a need for a widespread renewal of individual commitment to an active life of principle and societal values like truth, right action, love, peace and non violence means of getting things done. As well, there is a need for better preparation of teachers as values educators.
