okpara ugo: [b]Spread the blame.. I will start with the NUMBER 1 person or entity at fault, Government - Government Schools = MOSTLY children of Government Employees and then Children of Parents whose income fall below a certain benchmark. If the Government Schools were properly run, properly maintained, properly monitored and supervised, properly researched to find ways of improving its standards both in content and estetiques, and also POLITICS is removed from education, what you would have done is solve more than half the problem. I attended a Government school and heaven knows I was one of those who snuck through the system. We were poorly equipped as I never saw a Bunsen burner (except in textbooks) until SSCE time. Infact I was shocked to know that we had a few chemistry Lab sets that were kept in the Principals office for fear that they would get broken during classes and the school wouldn’t be able to replace them. Even Physics Lab equipment of things as basic as glass prisms, glass block, 'knife edge' & meter rule, e.t.c were never made available to us. SO we learnt causes that were highly practical in nature 'theoretically'. So a student like me who learns visually is left really handicapped. I still remember learning music with a 'Stick Piano' that made no sound. A carpenter designed a wooden piano with keys and all and our teacher expected me to know the 'C-note' and what have you. Still on Government. The Ministry of Education is responsible for Teachers recruitment and welfare. What applies is that ethnicism and politics gets involved, poorly trained and under-qualified teachers are employed, their meager wages and benefits are not paid as at when due, then these teachers are barely ever re-trained or evaluated and no audit is ever carried out to investigate the quality of teachers in the system. If not for Mr. Oshiomoles verification exercise, that woman who couldn’t read her own allegedly written sworn-affidavit could still be in the employs of the Edo state Ministry of education and many more pupils would have been passed/graduated by her only to go look grossly-stupiid in the higher levels of education and thus resort to cheating their way through schools. I still remember by Geography Teacher in secondary school. She would come to school just to sell Meatpie and Ice cream and leave. She barely ever came to class to teach us anything. Still on Government. Its the Governments jobs to provide schools. The average Government School has an estimated 50 Pupils per teacher/per class. HOW ON EARTH IS THAT SUPPOSED TO WORK. Well, students like me simply blend in with the back crowd and gets lost in the system. That’s how many students somehow sneak through the system till graduation and then somehow become First Lady of Nigeria and with a degree in Mathematics, Biology and Psychology from both a state and federal university, still can’t speak nor read simple English Language. The Governments should have built more schools and employed more qualified teachers to accommodate these students. not more than 22 per class. Next would be Parents. Well.. Parents remain the primary care-giver and care-provider of their kids. Its their duty to know at all times how their children are faring academically, socially and otherwise. So when you are the parent of a child whose school work you have never checked on, whose school teachers you have never met, whose academic life you have only bothered to pay for and nothing more, then you should also be blamed that your kid is a mo-ron. A classic example would be that of my kid brother who started doing really bad in school. After several beatings from my mum (who somehow thinks the solution to every problem starts with the cane and ends with prayers) she then decided to follow him to school and sit in class with him while learnt. The teacher said he was a very quiet and respectful boy but couldn’t quite get why he wasn’t doing well in school. That day my mum followed him to class was the day she noticed that my brother could not see anything written on the board as his eyes were bad. She noticed he wasn’t writing and when she was forcefully trying to make him write, she noticed he was struggling. She immediately took him from class to the optician where they diagnosed my brother with acute short sightedness. Many Parents would never have known this because they are too busy chasing paper to notice the welfare of their kids. This continuous decay in our Education sector has already started yielding its fruit. I remember Gov. Amaechi of Rivers State almost losing his mind when he went through some of the scripts of the applicants for the Rivers State Teachers recruitment exercise. The guy could not believe that some of those scripts belonged to people who had written first school leaving examinations.  Has anybody wondered why the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) fights every government that tries to set a competence examination for teachers?! My advice is simply; Get rich and send your kids to good private schools.  or we can start electing people with sense into government so as to have a sensible society.[/b]1 Like |

The deterioration in the Educational sector is symptomatic of the wider deterioration in society. When I was growing up in the 80's there hardly any private secondary schools in my state. Everybody attended the public schools. In my secondary school we had children of Generals, High/Appeal court justices and a range of VIPs. This made the PTA very robust and strong. The parents would simply not tolerate a drop in standards because their kids education was at stake. Now even a local council chairman will send his kids abroad, so where is the pressure going to come from to improve the schools. Until our so called rulers are forced to use the same public services as the general public, be it healthcare, education etc, there will never be an improvement. 1 Like |

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!I served in Igbo land and I love Igbo people.. They taught me a lot of business tactics... In fact I have Igbo friends that are genius, and I was generous in marking. There is no way you can mark people down in WAEC without being blacklisted and the scripts remarked. I have marked centers in Lagos and Northern regions where candidates scored 0/100.... I didn't record any 0 in any of the Eastern state. This issue is general, It is happening every where in the country. 2 Likes |

FrancisTony: @Ferdimako....please stop joining issues with them. It is obvious they are not better than those students. If at this point they still haven't seen anything wrong with the words you canceled. How can someone say "a lot of our professor"? Where is the 's' to signify plural? And how can someone say "less privilege"? Where is the 'd' to signify that the event had already occurred? Here is Ferdimako's elementary correction for you..... 1. Professors, NOT professor 2. Less privileged, NOT less privilege Hope you now know why he canceled those words. 1 Like |

I served in Ogun state. When I was posted to a school, I felt I had to do a little brush-up on my O'level. I attended UPSS in Benin city ( those who know the school will know what I'm talking about) so I had the impression that teaching senior secondary school students will be a challenge to any corp member. So I held fast to my most comfortable zone- maths and fmaths. No physics! No chemistry! Mehn! When I started teaching! Omg! The best students in the class (ss2 and 3) would not pass the jss2 promotioÈ n exams in upss. Ss2 students could not solve addition of fractions! But my pride is in the fact that by the time I was leaving, I had transformed the lives of 60 percent of my students. I started from arithmetic till we got to a stage where 50-60 percent of the students could solve quadratic equations by cmpleting the square method, draw inequality graphs, they answered questions I lifted from engineering maths on logarithms. Each time I came to class- I was filled with the joy of seeing my students- my projects! I organized free lectures for them, motivated them with gifts. When I was going, the school gave me a micro wave oven. But that means nothing to me compared to the 2 ghana must go bags that was filled with wrapped glass cups, spoons, and plates the students gave me. Even their maths teacher became jealous. The students still call me on phone till today. Even their cult students bowed their heads to greet me whenever they saw me passing. NYSC made the most fulfilling year in my entire life. That was when I realised another source of happiness. That is to make a positive change in peoples lives- it worths more than gold and silver. If I ever get a chance, I'll do it again! 3 Likes |

juwoonn: As we conclude this year's June/July WAEC marking, I cry for the future of these students. Products of a failed educational system, i'm not surprised abit. The kids on the other hand lack good guardianship. I doubt if the parents make out time to look into their children's school work and progress at school. They're not getting any healthy attention both at home & school hence you see them deserting their books to camp on 2go & Whatsapp all day. It's a shame! |

infogenius: It is so easy to put blames on the Govt of Nigeria, teachers, corruption blah blah blah.Parents that abandoned school...never worked hard to pass exams on their own? You are different. Kudos! I was there for my brother, taught him English and Maths..he did the other four himself..he never did May/June...Nov/Dec after SS2. Once he cleared his papers, parents and people started begging me and him to do the exams for their children.The same problem is in the university. Many students beg and pay to have their courses sorted out. We need to overhaul our systems and improve on the common language of teaching. |

Only for him to bring out his cv, then I realised he meant cv He studied economics from Ambrose Ali University and told me he graduated with second class upper, I was happy, then I ask which renowed economist is Fiscal policy attributed to?

It's a pity that many of us don't know what is going on in private schools, especially in Lagos. In most of the big private schools within Orile/Coker and FESTAC town that I have been to, or interacted with their teachers, during WAEC, answers are written on the board for students to copy.
