===Nigeria===
In [[Nigeria]], [[Education in Nigeria|education]] is classified into four systems known as a 6-3-3-4 system of education. It implies six years in primary school, three years in junior secondary, three years in senior secondary and four years in the university. However, the number of years to be spent in university is mostly determined by the course of study. Some courses have longer study lengths than others. Those in primary school are often referred to as pupils. Those in university, as well as those in secondary school, are referred to as students.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://wenr.wes.org/2017/03/education-in-nigeria|title=Education in Nigeria|date=2017-03-07|website=WENR|language=en-US|access-date=2019-10-25|archive-date=13 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191113204655/https://wenr.wes.org/2017/03/education-in-nigeria|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Nigerian system of education also has other recognized categories like the polytechnics and colleges of education. The Polytechnic gives out National Diploma and Higher National Diploma certifications after two years and/or four years of study respectively.

A higher National Diploma (also known as HND) can be obtained in a different institution from where the National Diploma (also known as ND or OND) was obtained. However, the HND cannot be obtained without the OND certificate.

On the other hand, the respective colleges of education provide students with the Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) after two years of study.
