These criticisms have been aptly summarised by Fafunwa in the following words "Nigeria's educational system is like Joseph's multi-coloured cloak, patchy in places with threads running in all directions. It seems that the system lacks direction and growth and is often haphazard and disorganised". (Fafunwa, 1971, p. 251). || This system is a radical departure from the existing system. For example, instead of the five years of full secondary education, it will now be three years for junior secondary and three years for senior secondary. This means in effect that the sixth form will be abolished and academically minded students will move directly to the university to spend four years for their first degree. Furthermore, the three-year post-junior-secondary will replace all the existing Grade II teachers' programmes so that all future Grade II trainees will be expected to complete the three-year junior secondary before entering the Teacher Training College. ||
