Day 03 - Falling Standards of Education

This is another great disaster our nation is facing. Many graduates and even master's degree holders are semi illiterates (Prov. 24: 3 - 6; 11: 9b; 4:5-7).

• Pray that the government invests in good educational infrastructures, training of teachers and university lecturers, etc.

• Pray against examination malpractices and indiscipline in our education system. Also pray for the Ministers in charge of Education,
Permanent Secretaries and other top officials of this ministry for wisdom, integrity and courage to confront the rot in the education sector.

• Pray for teachers, lecturers, professors, etc. Pray that the Lord should take over their hearts and cause them to see their profession as a ministry to their students and as such minister to them.

• Pray for our young people to have greater interest in education over the get – rich – quick syndrome through advance fee fraud popularly called 419 and other fraudulent activities and distractions that have eaten deep into the heart of our society.

• Pray that God gives the government the wisdom to develop the education system to accommodate and encourage those with flair for sports like football and other sports so that while they are actively involved in sporting activities, education builds them as individuals.

• Pray God to put a stop to distractions in our education system, example ASSU strikes, exodus of lecturers, etc.

• Recent events have shown that ASUU is fast losing focus and may have become a tool in the hands of certain persons to frustrate the government and the entire educational system, and this has become an embarrassment to the nation. Pray for an outright proscription of ASUU with a better system to give our tertiary education a befitting status.

• Pray against corruption, prostitution, occultism and other vices in our education system. May our children no longer have to pay lecturers to pass exams, may our daughters no longer have to sell their bodies before graduating, let occultism be a thing of the past in our schools...primary, secondary, university.
