[size=13pt]Nigerians, see reason. Are you telling me our entire young generation is inflicted with the same "unseriousness" because of "modern technology"?? GET REAL. What of other countries whose children have access to even more tech gadgets and toys, and 24/7 electricity? Why are they not flunking?? Face the REAL problems in Nigeria's education system and stop that rubbish. Are most schools even equipped with the ICT technologies that are available to help children learn?? And you have the nerve to say they have too much technology. Idiots run this country.[/size]

Blame it on too much facebooking, twittering, whatsapping, 2going and the other internet stuffs the youth indulge in. Our youth of today spend too much time on the internet instead of studying their books and acquire proper knowledge. I pray for our future generation.....

Nigerian pupils and students performed better under military administrations.
Since 1999 to date, Nigeria has been under the most incompetent government since independence from colonial rule.

There are many factors contributing to mass failure. I remembered my first waec-gce was very bad until I laid hold on the marking scheme. I critically examined the way questions was answered, how marks are shared. Though, teachers are trying on their own part but they need explain to their students on how questions are answered. During those days, I was writing jaggons, thinking I'm on the point. The students want to write to impress the marker with no cogent points. Until the students are taught how to answer questions, the same mass failure will be the order of the day.

To me I believe there is too much of fun and this get rich quick mentality everywhere for these kids.... U see secondary school guys and girls going to clubs, trying to be like olamide(entertainment) for sports they want to be like mikel obi and so many other sectors. God help us..... One solution I think can help is private sectors, entertainment big wigs should all come together and encourage these young school leavers probably with mouth watery scholarships and so on...

StealthyMe:

Probably because of the unexposed background of MOST Northern children..

Placing cut-offs for entrance into Secondary Schools in the North outrageously in comparison to other regions in the Nation will definitely lead to failure.

When the Unity cut off for Anambra is 130marks , the cut off for Yobe is 2 marks..What do we expect ?

Misterpaul: Here is a table showing the summary of the statistics.

People with low self esteem are shouting "Exam malpractice" "Miracle center" Lol.

This statistics clearly shows the region/states that are educationally forward, Jamb has also proved the same thing.
But, still some insecured and deluded people will be deceiving themselves that they are the most educated in Nigeria just to stroke there dented ego..
Instead of them to use this statistics as a fact to wake there leaders up to do something about the falling standard of education, they are here shouting "malpractice"
with all d media hype of Opon Imo in Osun, they are still no. 22 on d table. Diaris God oooo Aregbe

Serious issues raised here.

It is no surprising because the system made it so. Worst still, parents are the number one cause of this misadventure.

From the system; imagine the winner of MTN project fame walking away with millions of naira with a brand new SUV and a recording deal running into another millions. Etisalat idol comes with same offer. Guilder ultimate search also doll out millions and other largesse. These are what the children watch this days. WHILE Cowbell mathematics competition goes for 100k and other for less. Then let us ask ourselves, which one will they long to go for: millions in winning a show or jobless after NYSC?

On the part of the parents, how many parent today even read at all? Children learn by watching their parents. Most times, parents get their children sit in front of TV so that they can allow them to rest. Parents pay for examination runs for their children among others.

Please let us go back to the drawing board where children plays are articles of education, parents are more interested in serious children not those with high grades with no brain (paid for by parents). TV watching should be censored by parents and parents too should encourage reading.

The northerners v been known for low education. But what's happening at WAEC is just how bad Nigeria is.
The country is moving towards that terrible stage I don't want to imagine.
Re: Nigeria Sitting On A Time Bomb. by Nobody: 5:25pm On Sep 05, 2014
From last year in case we have forgotten


The report showed that Bayelsa State had the highest number of deregistered schools (13), followed by Delta (12), Ondo (cool, Kaduna (7), Cross River (7), Imo (7), Plateau (6), Rivers (6) Kogi (5) Lagos (5) Nasarawa (5), Sokoto (4) Anambra (4).
No schools were de-recognized in Taraba, Ebonyi, Borno, Niger, Adamawa, FCT and Yobe states. South-South has the highest number of de-registered schools (35.1%), followed by South-West (19.3%), North Central (15.7%), North West (15%), South East (13.2%), and North East (1.7%).

bushdoc9919:

Well, the aim of education is basically to use set knowledge to improve things.

If Anambra state can use its brilliant WASSCE passing students to eventually transform itself into a center for industry, and job development and new research....just like Japan and China are....then I am sure that education is being put to good use.

Like developing new and improved palm oil varieties for example....or new machines to harvest the palm oil. Or a Anambra made car or aeroplane. Or a strong machine tools industry. Or a new way to extract energy from refuse.

Education isn't for showing off you know.It is for making your society the best....and then going beyond that best.
We are getting there slowly. Look into threads like Enugu the pride of the East. "https://www.nairaland.com/979128/enugu-pride-east/208" great discussions going on there for SE development.
