Tis indeed tempting to swing one way, or the other. BUT, as Prof Olukotun stresses: a clean sweep seldom corrects a problem. Rather it can create many more. …Is it all merely politicians' rhetoric? Education, like Health, Housing, Employment are favoured political footballs throughout our so-called democratic world. …And given all the sensitive/ volatile/ highly divisive shouting going on at the moment: if 66% of these teachers were sacked, WHO would replace them? And far more important, on the basis of WHAT CRITERIA?Baba m

Sentiments and unnecessary political considerations is the bane of developing nations like ours. If we are going to develop, the elites have to lend their voices to support El-Rufai in this fight. We can all see the effect of failed primary and secondary education in Nigeria and we need to put an end to this worsening situation.The way forward is the replacement of these teachers. If there are other areas where some of them could be useful to the state, the state might consider that option. This will be the best thing for the future of Kaduna, North and Nigeria as a whole. I expect other states to follow suit.We as a people have no right to blame the government when we are actually not ready for change. Change process is tough but at the end it is beneficialRegards,Wale OgunmorotiSent from my iPhone
