Description

Beyond CGPA is a bold, eye-opening exploration of the gap between academic life and the real world. Beginning with a critical look at the school system, its origins, limitations, and the uniquely Nigerian challenges of strikes, underfunding, and outdated practices, the book challenges readers to rethink everything they’ve assumed about education. It demystifies the difference between schooling and true learning, exposes myths like “School na scam,” and raises essential questions about what the future of education must become. Through an honest examination of campus culture, first-class obsession, and the mismatch between classroom theories and lived experience, the book pushes students to see school not as an endpoint but as a launchpad.

Stepping beyond the walls of academia, Beyond CGPA becomes a practical guide to building relevance in the real world, where personal branding, employability, and skill acquisition matter more than grades alone. Readers learn how to create their own reality, identify their unfair advantage, and balance ambition with clarity. The book delivers tools for career building rooted in established theories, reveals what employers truly look for, and emphasizes timeless growth practices such as volunteering and travel. Packed with insights, strategies, and mind-shifting truths, Beyond CGPA empowers students and young professionals to thrive in a world where excellence is measured far beyond certificates.
