I loved my programme as it gave me insights into another aspect of education. I studied Special Education/Communication Language Arts in the Faculty of Education. My lecturers were helpful and I specialized in gifted and talented education which allowed students to be independent in their own thoughts and opinions. My school is well, in Nigeria and so we had the external problem of bad funding to tertiary institutions considering that it is a federally funded university but asides from this, the thought process, time and delivery are given to course presentations and projects by most of the lecturers were quite encouraging and interesting.
The student life in school was quite balanced, if you wanted to be all social, then there were all academics too but if you are a person who could prioritize and organise, you would find that you could enjoy most sides of both coin. I lived on campus most of my four years in school and there was a good student government representation and autonomy, although that changed just before I left there is still some level of student representation.
I definitely miss those lecture days and university school life.
The University of Ibadan was established in the year 1948. There are 12 faculty with over 80 departments. The school is the 1st in Nigeria and still, 1st on the list in the ranking of the best university in the country and 500th position in the world ranking. The school is endowed with qualified, competent and hard-working lecturers who value their work and the life of the students they are teaching. I love the learning environment since it is evergreen. A tree is planted in almost every cover to the extent that you can walk the whole school environment without feeling the effect of the sun on your skin. The school have limited resources when it comes to online classes when compared with other private location institutions and international schools. I encourage the management to improve on this.
View moreThe University of Ibadan, is the first and best. The campus environment is attractive, and secure and has good infrastructures (hostels, offices, and classrooms) for the students and staff. Courses are taught by lecturers who are highly intelligent and knowledgeable. As a Special Education student, I have really learnt through practicals in the child’s clinic.
