Nut Condems Jamb 150 Cut Off Marks by oluwatomisin93(m): 7:27am On Aug 05, 2015
Nigeria Union of Teachers has condemned the Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board policy that places cut-
off marks for students seeking admission into Universities
at 180 and 150 for those seeking admission into
Polytechnics and Colleges of Education.
The General Secretary of the NUT, Obong Obong made the
disclosure in a statement signed by the union, describing the
policy as derogatory, and highly discriminatory.
NUT explained that the policy is targeted “at demeaning and
lowering the professional status of teachers with its
concomitant negative effect on the attainment of quality
education in the country.
“It is of great disservice to the education sector where the
best brains and students of distinction are placed in other
courses while those with lower grades are pushed into
teaching,” he said.
The union further called for an immediate reversal of the
policy adding that the government must ensure only
students of distinction are admitted to be trained as
teachers in all educational institutions in the county.
Mr. Obong said in most advanced and developed countries,
it is considered that a teacher’s ability to disseminate
knowledge to students is dependent on his sound
intellectual capability.
He explained that the government deliberately sourced for
people with lower educational content to become teachers
only to turn around and blame them for poor delivery.
“If this is allowed to stand, government should take full
responsibility for the resultant short comings that may be
observed in our educational institutions in future from those
teachers,” he said.
He said that NUT has in abundance very brilliant and
effective teachers currently in service who should be
nurtured for effective service delivery .
“We however wish to warn that the teaching profession
must not be made an all comers affair,” he said.

I stand in support of the NUT. The standard keeps falling by the day. I seriously can't fathom what Jamb was thinking when the cutoffs were dropped.
