But what are parents doing about this. Still paying for expo or what? |

CityNG: I get so annoyed when I think about how my parents failed to realize what I did when I wrote that computer program. I didn't even realize what I did until I entered high school and started taking computer science in my second-to-last year. If I had known at the time and if my parents had encouraged me to continue studying computer science, who knows where I would be now. As it is, I'd like to think I'm making them proud so far. Nine years old. Smh. When children show a natural aptitude for something you have to encourage them in that area. My parents wanted me to study medicine. So I wasted an entire semester at university as a bio major, before I switched to information science. And it wasn't until my third semester that I found the courage to actually tell them. Re: your 10 yr old: The US is probably picking up on the trend of young programmers in Asia. There are some kids that are writing apps and making money from them before they even reach university. I hope you'll encourage her early academic inclinations, like I'm doing with my cousin!  Nigerian children are so brilliant when you give them the tools to succeed. |

CityNG, and you know what the worst part of it is about this "technology is evil" argument? I have a set of young cousins here in the US, and they are SO adapt at using technology, SO much more than I was, and I thought I got started pretty early. There have educational apps available for children to use on these tools that people are deriding as "distractions". Many of the things I still remember to this day, I learned, not at school, but from the educational games I played on my computer at home. God bless my mother for buying that computer. She absolutely insisted that her children be computer literate, and I ended up being placed in a program for gifted students. I got really lucky with my mom. |

The truth is that the younger generation dont believe in education anymore and you dont blame them. Majority of their predecessors are still in the job market...Also our society is more money conscious than education. Easy money factor...etc. Very bad for a country seeking growth. But there is always a way where there is a will...Cheers |

School kids look at what obtains in Nigeria. Except in recent years that two university graduates presided over Nigeria, scarsely educated people had presided over Nigeria most of the other years since independence. As the Muhammadu Buharis ruled Nigeria and still see themselves being supported by a majorly illiterate and ill-educated lot to come and preside over Nigeria once again, the tendency is there for school kids to shun studies. In rapidly developing countries, intellectuals and technocrats lead, but since 1999 in Nigeria, a skewed political structure and flawed unitary/over-centralized governance system ensure that the political class selects one person from our second or even third eleven squad for us to vote for and formalize as leader. 1 Like |

Since the whole system in 9ja is corrupt. WAEC is simply capitalising on a weak system to exploit Nigerians. With this situation, at least GCE forms will sell better.. |

MissMeiya: [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]I think the problem is with the school system stems from poor facilities, both physical and otherwise. The system fails to provide standard and incentives to create platforms where good teachers are employed to educate the students properly. This is not all about technology looking at some threads in this forum which pointed out how some Nigerian teachers can't read and write properly. Imagine a situation where they have to teach students and expected them to perform excellently well from that perspective. The system needs total change. A body has to be set up to monitor the quality of teachers in Nigerian schools. A lot of changes have to be made quickly to forestall this problem. To add a little to your last statement, i d i o t s have been running that country for ages. |

pDude: Who is talking of discrimination or tribalism here  ? I simply expressed my feelings and experience, 95 of the candidates that passed in Osun can publicly defend their results compared to Edo where not even 10% can stand up with their result perhaps you were helped during your SSCE |

I'm not sure many of us understand the significance of the data presented in this thread. What i glean from it in summary is that even in the state with the best results, close to 40% of students are unable to meet the minimum standard required to be certified as having a secondary school education. What is this minimum standard: 5 credits - this is at least 50% - in subjects to include english and maths. If 70% of secondary school leavers can not be certified to have at least a passable knowledge in english, math and a few other subjects then we indeed have a crisis on our hands. What are they going to amount to in their post secondary education life one wonders! Our target should be 100% with no kid left behind. We owe our young people at the very least, basic literacy and numeracy and an ability to learn that will enable them to go on to achieve success in their future lives. To help this i will seek out secondary school students in my area and tutor them to achieve an 'A' in the subjects i'm familiar with. I enjoin others to do same and promote the use of educational apps such as prepclass.com.ng among others. If you think it's not your problem, wait and see how that secondary school failure will become the robber (read politician) that will torment you and your family's life. Our education is in crisis and the students are not to be blamed in the slightest. 2 Likes |

The education system itself is built upon failure. What do you expect?. The solution though as it relates to science subjects have been made known to all at the below link. Those who have ears let them hear. |

Anambra state with over 4 million people registered 51,718 students and over 34k students got 5 credits and above. Kano with 9.5m registered only 66k students and only 18K got 5 credits and above. Borno with over 4 million people similar to Anambra population, registered 31K students and ONLY 4868 students got 5 credits and above. Kano and Borno are homes to Boko Haram. What are their governors doing to send their kids to school? So for every 1-university bound student Borno produces, Anambra produces 7 while Kano produces less than 2. Makes you wonder if Boko Haram is going away soon |
