SOME reasons For Mass Failure In WAEC,SSCE,
And
JAMB.
Dear Nigerians, the reasons for mass failure of
our teenagers in public exams are not far
fetched. I could Remember when i was
GOVERNMENT COLLEGE IBADAN, all we do then
was play and read, but this days things has really
changed and there are new developments and
innovations among those things are:
1 Toomuch FACEBOOK, YAHOO,TWITTER,MYSPACE,
2GO and generally browsing on the internet
instead of reading their books
2 ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE and EUROPEAN
FOOTBALL LEAGUES, it is easy for an average
nigerian teenager to know the names of all
chelsea players but same youths cannot tell you
the square root of 25 in mathematics.
Worse still is
that these days instead of seeing inscriptions like
UNIVERSITY or SCHOLARS on the exercise
books, what you see are pictures of
paloma,Drogba,Beyonce,Omotola i am not saying
they are bad anyway but... etc
3 DSTV,Home video and african movie magic,
watching television and films endlessly.Europ
ean champions league,English premiership,BAR
CA,Blues,Chelsea,MANU etc
4 GSM and BLACKBERRY, the average nigerian
teenager uses the latest and expensive gsm
phones just to show off that they belong.
5 GSM TEXT LANGUAGE, I will not be suprised to
see students write words like though i do them too
words like
"ur(for YOUR),
"2moro( tomorrow)
in their EXAM sheets
6 QUEST FOR CHEAP FAME AND WEALTH, The
goverment,electronic media(tv and radio) and
companies have not been helpful at all.
I AM NOT INNOCENT, SIMPLY ANALYZING SOME
REASONS WHY I FEEL OUR SECONDARY STUDENTS
HAVE DEVELOPED A BAD READING
CULTURE...

Nice.......(Fill in the gap)
