This issue cannot be overstressed.neco iz a baseless exam, how can you do so well in one exam and the other one is scary to look upon. The most annoying is that the questions are not even half as tough as a primary six common entrance and people still fail. Not only has the students failed. Neco has failed and Nigeria has failed.

Hmmmm education is really falling and our systems arer failing. Change is needed. I wanna check my cousin's result online please how do I go about it. Thanks

*Laughing* very funny country

Dsame Story Over nd Over Again, letz Watch out 4 GCE nd See If d Story Wont b Dsame, *just cant stop laughing at my motherland*

While some of those in defense of today's youth raise some valid points, they do not necessarily refute the points argued against. My generation made the same case you are making against our parents generation, and each generation argues that the previous one did them a disservice. The availability of expo or cheat sheets does not mean the student has to use them. There is a lack of fire for knowledge among the youths of today, instead they have the burning desire to make a lot of money, what they fail to realize is not just power, but equates to money when used properly. When i took my WAEC and GCE many years ago, there was no NECO exam then, i was able to tell my parents confidently how i would perform (math & physics - P7; Biology, English - A1; Chemistry - B; Geography, Agric, Economics, Yoruba - C3). No extra assistance, not that i did not know where to find it or that i was not offered, but i wanted to be able to defend my results as mine not something in my name done by someone else. This sentiment is lacking in youths and many of their parents today. Another memory from my teenage years, i had a girlfriend whose mother went into the WAEC hall with =N= 50,000 to pay off examiners so someone could impersonate her daughter, to be fair to the girl she had no choice in the matter because her mother just said this is what we are doing. This girl went on to study medicine only to be asked to withdraw from medicine three years after admission to UI, despite her glowing WAEC results. My mother is a Proprietress of a school, and at one of their meetings, WAEC representatives shared the story of a girl who earned straight As in her WAEC exam. The director of the office wanted to meet her, they prepared gifts to give to the young girl. Everything was going well until the girl was asked to sign and endorse the book with "original received by me" and she could not exposing the fallacy that was her result. This led to the school losing its certification as an exam center. It takes a smart person to cheat not a dullard and this is why i disagree when people say they cheat, no they don't not when they are so dumb. When you go as far as copying another person's name and you don't realize it until you are told, you are the definition of stupid and to simplify the problem by defining it as governmental failure is too simple. It is a failure of the society at large. See the story of Abel Adama, and tell me why that cannot be the story of every Nigerian or most.

we all failed, no dif b/w profs and molue drivers.

We will all come here to lament with not tangible solution to give while the crisis keeps going on in a cycle.

Lets see this from another perspective its partly neco fault and i think they need to re-examine and re-check themselves.How can people who pass waec fail neco badly for example during my set that's 2009 we did waec before neco but before we said jack Robinson neco was out.Who will believe that i got E8 in commerce in neco while i have A1 in waec.My school director and management with my class mates were shocked at my commerce result because i was one of the best commercial student of my set.So neco markers should be checked also because i believe that when looking at the positive side u need to look at the negative side so when blaming students check the markers too.

Hmmmm na wa o! Wr is educatn goin in ds cantry?Hmmmm na wa o! Wr is educatn goin in ds cantry?

one of em lousy generation or an outright scammer.

I guess there are lots of questions that we in a quest to justify one view or the other fail to answer.
Are the governments doing anything at all to hype the students thirst for knowlegde or just making face saving pronouncements?
Do exam bodies monitor the levels as to which school curriculars are being implemented or just wait to fail and blame students?
Do we go to school because we can learn or have passion for learning or simply because tis the in-thing?
How conducive are our schools/learning environments to learning?1,190,365 registered for the subject while 1,156,561 sat for it with only 3,356 or 0.28% obtaining Distinction and 295,961 or 24.86% with credit, 7, 7,395 or 60.27% pass, 89,023 or 7.48% failed while 50,826 or 4.27% malpractice was recorded.
