THE Kwara State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Alhaji Bolaji Abdullahi, has said that about 259 teachers in the state who sat for Primary Four examinations scored zero in the test.


He made this known during a stakeholders’ meeting in Ilorin at the weekend, pointing out that only seven out of 19,125 teachers met the minimum knowledge and capability threshold.

“Although 2,628 of the teachers hold university degrees, only one of them achieved the threshold, while 10 others were among those who scored zero in the test.

“In this part of the assessment, we gave teachers a test paper in reading and Mathematics that has been completed by a primary four pupil and the teachers were asked to mark the paper,” he said.

The key part of the assessment had the teachers tested in English and Mathematics question papers originally designed for primary four pupils.

The commissioner, who presented the report to the stakeholders, said he was depressed by the findings, but reasoned that the dismal performance of the teachers who teach in public schools was the outcome of a long period of systemic failure.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you can be reasonably sure it is a duck.

Ifeco06 is from Kwara and he is a genius although the likes of him are rare in kwara.

bad belle na disease. If you make out time to read what he writes, you will discover that he is a genius. Again, you can be a genius and still be working in cattle farms or cutting palm trees.

First their dead governor was a certified looter and thief,now their teachers are blockheads.
