1Dray:
U peeps keep mentioning Ebonyi, but Ebonyi students are never bn found wanting academically. If you doubt it, go and ask UNN, who was last year 'best graduating student in Medicine'. The truth is that, this is not the first time they've been doing it in UNN. . . Go to FUTO, UNIZIK etc and ask, Ebonyi students had always drawn thick lines.

Ebonyi man, no one is castigating Ebonyi, kindly read what i wrote very well. I meant little or nothing is being said about some states on NL. These encompasses several topics and issues not education alone.
Besides, who brought this post from the politics section where it was originally posted. I would have loved the politics out of this issue to be discussed.

The truth is we tend to focus more on the southern states and few places here on nairaland not knowing what may be going on in so many other places especially in the north like Gombe, Jigawa, Kebbi, Zamfara even in states like Ebonyi.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=866603.msg10155849#msg10155849 date=1328773589]Then it is a puzzling #.

17 students passing an exam, in an entire state? You should produce several times that number in a single individual school, not to talk of a local government, not to talk of a state!

It is as if you are telling me that someone can breath under water, or has gone without food for 3 years. Just seems impossible.

I'm surprised.[/quote]Well, based on the report, the governor seems to say its true.

Abdullahi said, "I sat with the governor and we were really belly-aching about the state of secondary education and he confessed to me that they forwarded 18,000 students for NECO and WAEC examinations but only 17 got university (admission) qualification."

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=866603.msg10155804#msg10155804 date=1328773245]Before we condemn, what is the rate elsewhere?

I thought it is roughly 20%. . . like 200,000 spots in university available in the country, roughly 1 million or so taking JAMB? (Obviously me extrapolating from JAMB rates to WAEC pass rates is probably very wrong, so hopefully someone can come up with the real #s.)

I still don't think the blame should fall on the students (well, not all of it.)

Something is wrong with the entire society.

From the students, to their parents, to the teachers, to the schools, to the government of Gombe State.[/quote]I completely agree with you. The students themselves will be the last set of peeps i will blame. The bulk i will heap on the govt. are teachers available? what about the facilities for conducive learning? a lot of things are wrong no doubt and how well are the parents themselves fairing over their wards?
i may not have the rate elsewhere now but i'm sure it wouldnt be this low. its unfortunate.

How many sat for these exams elsewhere?

What is a reasonable pass rate?

Surely there is a typo of some sort here.[/quote]I see no typo here bro. check out the first paragraph again.

Let him take up the appointment, and let's give him the benefit of doubt.
Let's also watch his subsequent words and actions, and see if there are any departures from his recent posturings.

No need to throw out the baby with the bath water. I support him taking up the job. Only then will we know his true character.

Thats my current position now. I pray he succeeds and he should be careful not to end up the way Abati is ending up.

Education › Only 17 Students Passed Waec, Neco In Gombe - Don by Demdem(op): 8:24am On Feb 09, 2012

The Chairman of the Governing Council of the Bauchi State University, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, said only 17, out of the 18,000 secondary school students who sat for the National Examination Council examinations in Gombe State, earned qualification for university admission.

Adbullahi said this when he paid a courtesy visit to the management of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, in Abuja, on Wednesday.

He decried the poor state of secondary education, especially in northern Nigeria.

This, he said, compelled him to write a personal letter to the Minister of Education.

Abdullahi said, "I sat with the governor and we were really belly-aching about the state of secondary education and he confessed to me that they forwarded 18,000 students for NECO and WAEC examinations but only 17 got university (admission) qualification."

Earlier, Bauchi State Governor Isa Yuguda said government and the private sector must collaborate to rescue the Nigeria education sector from collapse.

He said the burden of educating an ever increasing population was too much for government alone to bear.

This, he said, was because there were other competing needs which put a strain on government's lean resources.

The governor, who led members of the governing council of the BASU to TETFUND, said their mission was to request that the university be listed among beneficiaries of funds disbursed by the intervention agency.

Yuguda said, "The Bauchi State University is a growing concern and my administration is determined to provide it the basic infrastructure for it to stand on its feet."
