Danhumprey: Na today? E don tey! It's really awful! Public schools are just glorified home-teaching centres! Heck! Being taught at home seem to be more better than being taught in a public school. Our leaders have failed us! You sure say nor be PUBLIC SCHOOL you go so? 1 Like |

DONMAYOR19: no offense bro, but I tell u that is very wrong for you to open a thread here all because u mark waec script, in case u don't know, marking of waec script should be a private thing, not something you have to make public, ok you make it public now and even mention the locality, what if someone from that area send you personal message now and ask you the name of the school, from there you know what could happen next. I'm extremely sure you not the only one marking waec script here, many people here do mark waec(both the public and private) and neco, but they don't have to make it public because is meant to be official. I surprise I saw this in FP, mode brain self don knock for putting this in front page instead of closing thread...I agree, he shouldn't have opened this thread. There are different ways to air one's grieviances on education. |

A number of quick points: 1. Grammmar Nazis please stop the bull: How so Nigerian of you. The OP makes a valid point, but you would prefer to focus on the quality of his written English. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time, from Soyinka to George Bush (highly-publicized grammatical blunders). It's fine to make fun of people on those occasions, but not to the extent of derailing a very important discussion. So for God's sake, if all you've come to do here is criticize how others express themselves (rather than their actual ideas), I beg you to (respectfully) get lost. 2. Those blaming the OP for blaming the students rather than helping them are wrong: the man is not their teacher; he is simply marking their scripts, so there is no way *he* can help them. Once again, he has brought a very important message. Focus on the message, not the messenger. Ah, the message... There are many direct and indirect causes of the problem OP has observed. Ultimately however, there *is* a single factor to which it can be traced. It has been mentioned here already, so I will simply quote: hermes_progidy: ...We can say our education system needs serious overhauling but the truth is the poor academic performance of students is a reflection of the larger society where hardwork is mocked and corruption is rewarded. This is a problem rooted in the value systems of most Nigerian tribes (our strong emphasis on the community places unrealistic expectations on the few haves, leading them to cut all sorts of corners in fending for - and lording it over - the have nots). However, in my opinion, our leaders have really made matters worse. Forgive me for naming-and-shaming, but I have to say that GEJ has really messed up on this front. In my opinion, he has basically planted a presidential stamp of approval on this idea of rewarding corruption. I do not wish this to disintegrate into a PDP vs APC thread again but the truth is that with the ill-advised statements he has been credited with making, and his handling of Alamaisegha's and other cases, our president has made it that less likely that anyone would take the long and arduous path of hard work as a route to success. So, what you see is a manifestation of that short-cut mentality at all levels of national life. Poor teachers, (poorly paid, but guaranteed to be incompetent and lazy anyway, even if paid better) [+] undisciplined parents (helping children to cheat, as a way to secure their own twilight years, and unwilling to pay the true value for anything, including success) [+] lazy and undisciplined youths of the Information age (more likely to chat and hustle than to do anything as boring as studying [+] greed and poverty-addled society (willing to turn a blind eye to how you got there) [+] inept, bumbling, spineless, corrupt leadership (no expatiation needed) = poor WAEC performance = doomed nation. We are so screwed (I should know; I teach the "leaders of tomorrow). 7 Likes |

I weep too for Nigeria...students are no longer interested in their study or research. They are too concerned with listening to 2Chainz and Nicki Minaj, wasting precious time on 2go, whatsapp or some other crap! They see learning as a burden. In the end, they make their results through 'special centres'. This is why we have so many dull and unproductive undergraduates and half-baked graduates. English graduate wey no go fit make one correct sentence; Mechanical Engineering graduates wey no fit change engine oil for car; Elect/Elect graduates wey no fit fix lamp holder!  Last bullet: Some parents are just so stewpid, especially some mothers. Na you go pay money for 'runs' for your pikin, na you go still go school go fight teacher for punishing your child, yet na you go still cry pass if your pikin become bad! |

You're talking about secondary school students. What about university graduates? A youth corp lady who was an officer during the last distribution of permanent voters card couldn't spell business. Instead she wrote 'busenesse' I didn't know when I exclaimed. |

I blame the government for making sure that education sector is chronically underfunded, thereby rendering the noble profession of teaching unlucrative. I bet that the students of that school do not have an Economics teacher, or they have an economics teacher who is poorly-motivated, or their economics teacher is a bad product of the Nigerian educational system. There are many secondary schools in Nigeria who do not have up to 10 teachers. It is the same problem that gave rise to a boom of private schools and lesson centres. Simply put, our government has failed us. |

Odenigbo Aroli: Op could be one of the chronic Igbo haters who isn't happy with the success we made so far in education. So,he decides to help his people by failing Igbo children. Don't be surprised, Yorubas are very dirty and capable of anything. They have no conscience! Honestly your height of Stupidity is so un-comprehensible.. When we are trying to condemn tribalism, educate our people on religious differences and try to move forward as one nation, by upholding a strong unity amongst us... You are here spewing trash! I doubt if people like you move forward... it will be so impossible to because of your deluded mentality. Please don't ever come out and give advice on how Nigeria will grow..

Achebe, Dora,PN okeke, soludo and co also did wuruwuru? Coming from a northerner  As one who have taught in the north and now a lecturer in a college of education,I can tell you with all sincerity that the north is a failure in terms of education but of course they will always pass because after marking and submitting your result as a lecturer,what you submitted is not what you see on the notice board. I guess its a ghost that changes it. If students from other tribes are caught in malpractice,they face panel but the northerners don't especially women. Some write on their hijab,some on their baby's body! Yes!you heard that! On the baby's body,some use phone,goggle is their friend. Inspite of all these,they submit rubbish on your table. The school had to ban women from bringing in babies into the exam hall. This waec malpractice goes on in every state but you people's hatred and envy for Igbos will only make you pick on one tribe. Juwoonn you were one of those so pained since the day it appeared on nl that Anambra came 1st in Waec. That is the reason for this thread. Just like babymama asked,how sure are we that you are not lying and what made you qualified to mark waec? My cousin served in maun,in ikpokia local govt area of ogun state. Infact, they(corp members) write for some of the students because even if you write on the black board,many of them still won't write correctly. They can't speak English but yoruba. Jealousy and envy is all I smell on this thread. The Igbos will continue to excel and nothing will stop them. mu2sa2: Wuruwuru in waec exams has been going on in SE since time immemorial. Anyone with a distinction or high grade from this area in the past 50 years is prime suspect. Even the ones who call themselves professors today were exam cheats. |

juwoonn:I m touched by this bolded truth. Recently, I tried to explain to a friend the decay going on in our public secondary schools. They are the most populous hence, the high numbers of students that fail WAEC, NECO, JAMB comes from them. One thing most people don't know is that public schools presently lacked the administrative hand of making teachers to teach well & also to motivate the students to study well. Only few public schools do this & most of them are the traditional pace setters, the old secondary schools that v good records. Though, the high population of public schools didn't help the matter. Some private schools v started adopting good policies to improve their student's performance. When their students get good grades in WAEC, NECO, JAMB, people ll say they cheated. |
| Re: Just Finished Marking WAEC. I Cry For Our Future. by Jman06(m): 8:12am On Jul 01, 2014 |
Why are you all saying public schools as if private schools are any better? Infact, public schools still remain the best to attend in Nigeria. My reason for saying that is because most of the so called private schools are merely 'show grounds' where people go to flaunt their wealth, with no serious academic works going on there. During my undergrad days, i had friends who finished from private sec schools mostly from Lagos. Many of these guys scored high grades in waec but were the dummies of the class in the university. One of them who was studying pharmacy was withdrawn from pharmacy and transfered to plant science and technology aka botany because he could not cope. The guy actually had a B in his o level chemistry but can't even balance common chemical equation. My younger brother wrote his waec exam last year in the same nigerian public sec school the op is trying to discredit, and made 4 A1s, 3B2 and 2B3. So op, put the blame where it rightly belongs which is the lack of seriousness on the part of those students whose scripts you marked. |

I marked a few Junior WAEC scripts way back in 2001 and I was like First of all, the failure rating was staggering.. The Handwriting of many were illegible. then to cap it off, I was seeing things like; - I cover this Paper with the Blood of Jesus. - Please Help Me. - Please help me, God Bless you. and many more. The matter gave me cause for concern. However, now that I am older I can see the gross effect of this decay. What you see today are the students that were produced by that system. They are the ones who end up in Politics, Public service and as the domestic help we all employ. The truth is that our Public education system is designed to keep the Poor perpertually poor. 1 Like |
