So many arguments have been advanced for and against the Federal Government's proposal to snip the Examinations conducted by JAMB (UTME) and NECO, with a view to regularising JAMB - to supervise the various Universities entrance examinations, and to merge NECO with WEASCE - to empower them to conduct two internal and external examinations on annually!
Nairalanders, what are your takes on this?

My take on this is very simple:
Before the scrapping of these bodies be effected, the Federal Govt. must identify and spell out our educational destination in order to be better positioned to come out with informed and workable solutions.
They should not just wake up and do the scrapping!
There are things to be put in place. For instance, if the various universities are to conduct their different entrance examinations, the federal govt should peg a common fee every university should charge for the exams; and again, every candidate for the exams should be allowed to write the entrance exams in atleast 3 Universities, and the entrance exams time-table must be streamlined to accomodate this.
Other cushioning and effective measures must equally be first put in place, before the take-off of the proposal. I opine!

The university system will be more corrupt than Jamb. Parents will pay 500k to 1mill and 2million for their child to enter the university and there will be no room for the poor and average students.

Nigeria education system is not yet ready for scrapping of Jamb. Let the education system be organized first then this will take effect may be in 2020.

Thanks.
