University education is generally thought of as the ticket to a solid middle class life. The idea has always been that going to school, getting a degree and becoming a graduate will equip one with everything necessary to get a decent paying job out of school, and in a few years one will be to make it to the middle class in terms of income.

But it appears that things are not panning out as expected for a lot of people in Nigeria and it's causing a lot of people especially youths to question the value of a University education. In this episode, Ayooluwa Isaiah and Abdulquadri Saka-Bolanta discuss why the "School is a scam" sentiment is so popular amongst the youths of the country, and how we can start fixing the problems in the education system.
