It’s A Bit Of A Struggle – BBNaija Star, Saskay Opens Up On Challenges Of Studying Abroad

Tsakute Ladi Jonah, a former BBNaija housemate, who is popularly known as Saskay has opened up about the difficulties of adjusting to European schooling.

In a post on her 𝕏 page, she wrote on the differences between education in Nigeria and Europe.

She explained that in Nigeria, students are often taught to memorise lessons and reproduce them during exams.

In contrast, her current studies in Europe require understanding classroom lessons, exploring knowledge outside school, and applying it to real-life scenarios in exams and texts.

Saskay admitted that this shift has been challenging for her, as she has never learned to approach education this way before.

She concluded by acknowledging that adapting to this new method is a process, but one she is committed to navigating.

She wrote: “Schooling in Nigeria made me learn exactly what I was taught and spitting it out in tests/exams.

“Schooling in Europe says I need to learn what I’m taught, read more outside of school work and apply that knowledge to real life situations in texts/exams.

“It’s a bit of a struggle tbh especially since I’ve never learnt how to do the latter.”

Recall that Saskay commenced her Master’s degree in Global Security and Strategy at the Brussels School of Governance in Belgium.

She revealed that she had waited five years for this chance, facing challenges and moments of doubt along the way.

She also mentioned that she had almost settled for a course she was not passionate about before this opportunity arose.
