SHOCKING: Liberia's University Entrance Exam Failed By Every Student Who Took It by Anuoluwap(m): 10:09am On Aug 27, 2013
Almost 25,000 students failed the
University of Liberia's admission
test, with examiners saying they
had a poor grasp of English and
"lacked enthusiasm"

Students in the UK think getting
into university here is tough.
But spare a thought for
candidates in Liberia - after every
single one of them failed this
year's university entrance exam.
Almost 25,000 students failed the
admissions test for the University
of Liberia - one of the African
country's two state-run
universities - meaning it will have
no first year students when the
new term begins in September.
A university official told the BBC
that students who took the test
did not have a basic grasp of
English and "lacked enthusiasm",
but the country's education
minister said she found it hard to
believe that not a single
candidate managed to pass.
Etmonia David-Tarpeh said she
would be meeting with officials
from the university to discuss the
dismal failure rate.
She acknowledged that there
were weaknesses in the
education system in Liberia,
which is still recovering from a
civil war which ended 10 years
ago, but said she had her doubts
that no one could have passed.
A spokesman for the university
said it would be standing by its
decision, and that the
government needed to do more
to improve student's knowledge
of English.
