Education in my Mother Land

Click Here to watch video.
As seen, the Catholic Diocese is doing its best to help educate millions of Nigerian children. Public schools that are funded by the government are in lack of basic academic needs such as desks, windows, doors, even good blackboards.
Only the privilege often have the upper hand in education, that is, children from wealthy homes are sent to private schools where they enjoy academic amenities not even up to an average privilege given to middle school students in the United States.
Despite the troubles facing Nigerians students, most still perform astoundingly.
As you can see there are vast differences when comparing Nigerian education system to that of the United States. As the saying goes "those with hat don't have heads, and those with heads don't have hats"
