Holistic Picture [ International Education]

Salisu Suleiman is one of the favorite blog's I read, he is always  insightful and his analysis spot on, recently he wrote about the challenges of university entry for the burgeoning number of young Nigerian high school leavers struggling for University entry places each year.  As a  practitioner in the Higher Education development and marketing sector, I would like to take him on some issues he raised especially the much debated downsides of Nigerians studying overseas.  Its important  that I state first that I do agree that the majority of Nigerians should study in-country and this is still the situation at the moment. If the government can create further higher education study routes and opportunities such as the community colleges model that Salisu Suleiman proposes in his blog post,I believe that would be an excellent steps in the right direction- read Salisu article here [ http://suleimansblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/private-universities-in-nigeria-where.html  ]
