MBA in Health Management by Unicaf University Is Changing the Game on How Nigerian Health Professionals’ Study Abroad

Image
In 2018 , the Nigerian House of Representatives disclosed that Nigerians spend over USD 1 billion (N360billion) yearly on medical treatment abroad, which is due to the poor healthcare sector and management in the country. The green chamber of the parliament further resolved to upgrade the health care sector by providing state-of-the-art medical infrastructure nationwide. But ensuring a sound healthcare sector also requires measures beyond the upgrading of medical infrastructure. It requires, in addition, health management experts to also ensure the smooth operation of these facilities. A medical clinician and sonologist Dr Joseph Williamson has advised the country to invest more in her healthcare system, especially in the area of human capital development, according to a  report  published on Daily Trust Nigeria. Dr Joseph Williamson said doing so would help tackle medical tourism and other challenges bedevilling the country’s healthcare system. The Nigerian healthc...

Nigerian Teachers Can Now Receive Formal Advanced Education Online – MA Education

Image
Quality education is important for the growth of any country, and this can be ensured first by making quality teachers available. Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) disclosed in a  report  published on Premium Times that about half of the teachers in Nigerian schools are unqualified to teach. The right to education should not only be measured by the access and availability of education, but also by the quality of the education. The quality of teachers significantly determines the quality of education. Poorly trained teachers will evidently lead to poorly educated students. The quality of teachers required in the 21 st  century is teachers who are versatile in knowledge and grounded with quality education. This also includes solid teaching ability, knowledge of various teaching techniques and instructional materials. In 2015, The [Nigerian] Minister of Education Malam Ibrahim Shakarau disclosed that the Federal Government reached a decision to ma...

Managerial Psychology and Its Benefit for HR Professionals in Nigeria

Image
Managerial psychology is a sub-division of organisational psychology which deals mainly on the effectiveness of persons, groups and organisations. For human resource professionals who desire some specialisation in their profession, an MSc Managerial Psychology is a degree worth considering. In addition, not only that the discipline helps in ensuring that the leadership of workplaces are able to have a better knowledge on the behaviour in the work environment, it also helps to install and nurture a desired thought-flow and behavioural pattern within a workplace.

This includes non-HR professionals with an interest in understanding the thought flow of individuals within a work environment and the general organisational culture. Nigeria has one of the world’s highest number o...

MSc Web Design and Development will be Ideal for Nigerian Computer Specialists

Image
It is no longer a secret that web design and development is the most common service rendered by Nigerian computer specialists. This has become a ”side hustle” amongst computer specialists, while some engage on it full time. IT start-ups in Nigeria also provide web design and development services as their primary service, including other related IT services. For many who want to go into the adventure of offering IT solutions, web design and development is most likely the first step they start with. Although these assertions may be correct, it is also important to note that many of these computer specialists providing these services have not received formal education on the subject. Furthermore, these computer specialists, who provide web design and development services, in most cases have learnt the hard way. In the most common case, they have acquired these skills from their friends who could teach them. In other common cases, from their workplaces, participating in sh...

The Kind of Master’s Degree Programme Impacts Your Income There are fiel...
