After all these white papers, calling of answers to the students, high malpractices and what have you, it yet brought a dismal picture.
Methinks this year's exam was flunked not largely by the students but their teachers and mercenaries. Because, if most of the exams answers were written by the teachers and mercenaries, it then means that they must have written gibberish as evidenced by the colossal failure.
One at the cyber cafe the other day was praising himself and luxuriating in the fact that he wrote the whole thing immediately and circulated it in the hall.
I dare even say, that the slight improvement might have been occasioned by WAEC's leniency in marking or the hue and cry about the derelict state of our Education Sector.
Very rueful,

Technology itself came with distractions
2go, facebook etc.

When we were in high school, we were relatively mature at least in age. We held our views, could say NO/YES and stood by it.
We were disciplined, could differentiate between needs and wants. We placed our priorities right.
We were somewhat enthusiastic and seriously serious with worthwhile and gainful undertakings.
But today, reverse is the case. What do we have then?
We have students that loathe hard work. Pupils that can't delay gratifications, students that their parents want them to graduate as medical doctors at 21. Students so immature in reasoning and thinking to enable them have a better grasp of their discipline. Continued below,

no be him fault, he get igbo tongue. destinction indeed

Continuation of the above:
As regards students being immature in age, we have EXCEPTIONS, eg. Socrates, even somebody like Reuben Abati of GEJ graduated with a First Class at age 20.
But these exceptions are infinitesimal.
The above nothwithstanding, we are taking the case under normal circumstances.
Last time in JAMB exams, a question was asked in Government thus:
'Nigeria practised which system of government in the second republic?
Now tell me how an average fifteen year old would know what a second republic of Nigeria was, which and which year were taken as second republic, let alone deciphering the system of government that was practised, whether unitary, parliamentary, presidential etc.
So, you see that maturity in age is needed by an average student to provide an answer to a technical question like the above.
In other words, if you present a question like the above to 100 students with age range of 15 to17 and 18 to 20. I wager that the greater percentage that would get it correctly would be from the latter group.
Or tell me the kind of philosophy you want to teach an 'average' sixteen year old in the university
What do you think?
The other day, I visited one tutorial centre. To my utter dismay the guy was telling them, (not a slip of tongue) that the population of Nigeria was 6 million. They were all listening with rapt attention whereas every farmer in the village would refute it when taught such rubbish as lecture, because being mature the farmer would know that the population of a state like Lagos is far more than 6 million. How would they know? These were students that were preparing for this just released WAEC exams. I was gobsmacked and couldn't restrain myself from intervening politely.
Finally, I am not trying to discount the various factors that could be attributed as the cause of this anomaly as immaturity in age, but all I am advocating is that students are now more immature in age as used to be the case hence their inability to discipline themselves, place their priorities right and have a sound grasp of what they are being taught.
Thanks for your attentiveness.

Very rueful,

Which teachers are you referring to? The ones whose gained admission into the University/College of Education through runs? or the ones who took up teaching as the only option available to keep body and soul together?

There are schools where examination malpractice is not seen, heard or touched and yet students are doing very well. You know them by the number of candidates they register (more often than not fewer than 50). My school is one of such and to the glory of God, we recorded 97% pass (29 out of 30 candidates) had 5 credits (English and Maths inclusive.

Besides, students who go through schools where exam malpractice is abhorred often excelled in higher institutions and we have had so many of them with 1st class and 2nd Class Upper.

Check the details below. I have to remove the names of the candidates since I do not have their permission to put their result here

Thank God my lil' Sis made it

We are all saying in our days, in our day it was even worse,because the student of yesterday are the teacher of today,so don't give us that,they failed because of so many reason too numerous to mention full, stop.
