cattle rearrers. In terms of employment, profession, education, the children of the rich and elite are better placed. In most cases, because of the social stratification, the schools being attended by the children of the rich, elites are far better than the schools being attended by the children of the poor. 3.5.8 The Ethnic or Racial Factor This simply means a group of people from the same geographical location see themselves as one and begin to discriminate against others who are not from their geographical location. This is very common in Nigeria. There are many schools in Nigeria where such schools are being dominated by the people within the schools location. In order to overcome this problem of ethnicity or racial, the federal government introduced National youth Service Corps Scheme, Federal Government Colleges, Unity Schools, Quota System for anything Federal so that every State of the Federation will be taken care of. In the South Africa, the Africans who were the sons of the land were heavily discriminated against by the whites. The schools being attended by the children of the whites were superior to the schools being attended by the children of the blacks. Also, the Negroes in the United States of America despite the fact that they are Americans culturally, religiously, linguistically yet, the Americans discriminated against them because they are regarded as people who are inferior in every respect. Because of this view about the Negroes, separate schools were designed for the Americans as well as the Negroes and this was constitutionally supported by the government. In everything, they are discriminated against and they receive things that are inferior when compared with the Americans. In the same vein, the French policy even in Africa was aimed at transforming the Africans into Black Frenchmen. The reason behind this was that the African culture was seen as being inferior to that of the French people. 38
