FG should scrap hnd, we have above 5credits if that is the reason for discrimination. how can I waste five years off my age studying to get HND only to be treated like an SSCE holder. FG should scrap HND and polytechnic now. The name polytechnic alone increases my BP whenever it is mentioned. Help to save the life of unsuspecting students who don't know the level of discrimination in the civil service. It is better to remain an ssce holder than to waste your time energy, money to read for five years and even spend additional year on youth service only to be grouped together with Ssce holders, NCE and ND in the same cadre. This is inhuman.

A call on the Federal government to reduce mortality rate by scrapping HND and Polytechnic. It is obvious that the FG is not interested in technical education

Unfortunately, the federal government cannot scrap it
You are looking it from your own perspective (as a graduate) what about the people associated with polytechnics the lecturers, non teaching staffs (and you know the number of nigerians that fall into these categories). Scrapping means creating more and more unemployment.
As for the disparity between HND and BSC I think nothing will change it!
Why? I dont know.

the structures should be used by the nearest university and those lecturers and non academic staff can be useful there too. HND now kills faster than AIDS. High BP every where. You hardly see any HND holder in the civil service that is happy.

Hmmm

AM PROUD TO HAVE GRADUATED FROM POLY

QUOTE ME ANY DAY, ANY TIME

the training is good and very useful to technological development of the nation but since the nation deliberately refuse to develop technologically, we have to move on with our lives. There appears to be a gang up of the entire university system against polytechnic education in their selfish bid to make university to monopolize the educational system.

That's a blatant lie, in the police force during their recruitment, hnd and bsc where the requirements for ASP, while customs of recently upgraded all its staff with hnd on grade level 7 to grade level 8.
Also as you stated above In the civil service hnd holders start from level 7 and aren't grouped with nd, ssce or NCE holders

Some people just siddon for house dry imagine nonsense... When you don't know you don't know... Don't come here and type with confidence. Anyway good move by the Govt. I am tired of sympathizing with HND holders especially when you see they merit some things but are cut down cause of the Polytechnic degree

it is true

poly students should protest now or face high BP later. you may not know now until you get there

if 5 credits is the problem, the federal government should equate those who have above 5 O level credits in one sitting to BSC level. I know majority of HND holders have above 5 o level credits
