In the grand scheme of Nigerian education, the term “elite school” often conjures up images of prestigious institutions where exorbitant fees promise a world-class education. However, Nigerian journalist and author, David Hundeyin paints what it means to obtain elite education in Nigeria.
For him, Nigeria elite education is investing fortune to enroll your children in a school that mirrors the curriculum of a nation thousands of miles away. The educators, foreign in both appearance and background, impart lessons that are detached from the rich tapestry of West African history and culture. Instead, the syllabus revolves around the exploits of 20th-century Europe, with little regard for the local context.
Even in subjects like Physics, the disconnect persists. Students grapple with questions that bear no relevance to their everyday experiences.

Some spiral into addiction, a casualty of the disconnect between their upbringing and the harsh realities of Nigerian life.
