A Presidential visitation panel to the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, has said the falling standard of education in the country was responsible for the noticeable failures in the country’s polytechnics. The Chairman of the 7-man panel, John Ochoga spoke in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday during an interaction with newsmen on their mission at the Polytechnic. Ochoga said the Polytechnics had failed to live up to the desire of the designers of technical education, which was to promote technology and advance the economy, due to the general failure of the educational standards in the country. “The disappointments we are getting in our Polytechnics is a function of our falling educational standards. There are students who are doing brilliantly well in some polytechnics and also in the universities, but whatever happens, is part of the failure of the system. It is a general failure. You can get the best brains anywhere”.
