Provost, Orange Academy, Mr. Femi Odugbemi has advocated the need for the Federal Ministry of Education and experts in the education industry to review the schools curriculum, such that it will begin to produce entrepreneurs rather than skilled labourers.
He noted that most Nigerian graduates realised upon leaving school that what they learnt does not fit into the realities of the world as well as market demands.
Odugbemi, in an interview with The Guardian at the 8th Annual Immersion of Orange Academy/Art of Positive Thinking (APT) Exhibition, in which 39 participants graduated, insisted that an educational system whereby graduates are thrown off balance in the world of work must be reviewed, as such trends slow down economic progress of a nation.
Mr. Tunde Phoster, a board member and lecturer, said the graduating students are creative as they think beyond the norm and are beginning to cause social change through their APT and not for profit activities. Ovuson John Ogonna emerged the best overall graduate at the ceremony, which also featured APT videos on internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other social vices whilst proffering solution to them.
