Lols,
Na was,
see helinues claiming that students spends all their time on social media.

Someone that spends almost his entire life on Nairaland Politics section,
creating Mumu and unnecessary topics.

honestly social media exposure is doing a lot of harm to this generation

The consequence of misplaced priorities, I fear for the future of our children, what will be the quality of leadership 15 years from now? Rubbish.

Why will these youth bother to work hard when some people get 150m for and OON title (Order of Oloshos of the Republic of Nigerian ) for shaking their assess for 90 minutes.

Hard work , honesty and diligence is clearly scoffed at by the current administration. Technology doesn't not improve intelligence it dumbs it down, this is a known fact. Audio and visuals discourage reading and research which kills creativity and uniqueness no nation can row without it.

PlasmaTV:
Stop it!
Some of those students wrote exams 7pm, 8pm.
That was how y'all demonized those children until people demanded for a remark of JAMB.

Hold your leaders more accountable abeg

And after the remark, how many still passed? Abeg, let's face the real problem. Even last year when there was no glitch on JAMB's part, the pass rate was abysmal as well.

It's better to fail right and do it again than massively churning out olodos with fraudulent excellent marks .

Please technology doesn't kills intelligence, ask China and Japan, implementation matters though.

I think we have a problem of attention span on this country but the thing is, we can't fight it, we can use it instead.

We can have fast paced WAEC questions. We can have tiktok accounts that solve waec questions per video.

We can have WAEC question challenges that we will advise students to participate in.

We can turn our negative to positive

They will cheat with ChatGPT.

Will the students show interest in all these efforts you listed or rather prefer BBN, low key yahoo, drugs and twerking on tiktok?

Since 2015 the pass rate has been fluctuating. This coincides with the rise and usage of social media. Wrong usage of the Internet is one of the key factors at play here.

No surprise there.

There are a lot of TikTok accounts for such, sadly, they aren't getting the views.

I don't know why heads didn't roll as far as the Waec 2025 conduct of the ssce papers went. Most papers leaked, sold to other businesses and people. Eventually to students for money!

No one in Waec was fished out. The chairman should be sacked or resign. The Waec exams had been leaking out since how many decades ago? Yet it gets worse every year 😔

I don't really put the blame on students, but our irregular education policies, broken down educational systems, incompetent education officers, lackluster exams supervision and uncaring ministers of education over the years

DSS is on it and many are still in trouble. The network is so wide and deep that ongoing investigations will still indict many eventually.

This is the end result when you exhault illiterates like peller.... because these youngsters with no future ambitions will think peller is the standard....
Instead of focusing on their studies

MANY people passed. I know at least 5 people who scored 270 and above after the remark.

Parents are buying expensive phones and data for their children in JS3. How can children with functionally underdeveloped brains cope with such level of distraction when adults can barely hang?

Why will there not be mass failure when you have students stressed out and taking exams at 11pm with phone and candle light.
APC has destroyed everything of value in this country.
From JAMB to WAEC , crass incompetence and mediocrity . National embarrassment afte national embarrassment

God bless you jare. Others pretend like the English exam was conducted in the best condition. WAEC is only trying to safe face at the detriment of the young chaps

The stats don't lie. Yes many passed, but most still failed. Less than 35% passed. Check online to verify.

This sentimental and lack of objectivity comment of yours can not and will not help the situation but thank God there are other commenters here that are hitting the nail on the head.

How many subjects was written in the evening? I know only English and I could see the effect on my Nephew's result. He had A and B in other subjects and only D7 in English. You may be right if you say English. But other subjects, you are wrong.

God bless you for this comment. How will a nation grow and develop if we continue churning out half baked graduates year in year out. We can't built something on nothing.

Kingpele:
Not surprised because eating well certainly will increase children learning abilities and in the exams ,they'll do well but when tinubu induced hunger have invaded the land ,massive failures will be recorded both in exams and everyday struggle of citizens

Pls who was in government in 2014 when WAEC had woeful performance even worse than 2025 results,everything should not be centered on politics when we needed to tell ourselves basic truth.

After keeping kids in exam hall till 10pm you now fail them. This is the story of Nigeria. Take some of those kids outside the shit hole and see them perform wonders.

Public schools students passed the examination. It was public schools dat registered massive failure.

Scarrr:
public are the worse....no joke....not even surprised abit about the mass failure.

Facebook, tiktok, Instagram and u tube pay some of these secondary school kids $1000 a month. How can they focus on studies?

Does that mean my boy did well?
I was furious with him for having a low credit in English and general mathematics

When the use of social media access is too much for the student. It should be regulated to 18years.

i agree. CBT may not be the issue. the leakage of exam papers may be the issue and lack of preparedness

JASONjnr:
Tye problem isn't the CBT but the way they set the questions and timing.
We're not used to it tho but with more awareness, and aligning the education system to fit into CBT, we'll begin to pass it.

My point exactly how it is used matters, the countries you mentioned use theirs for productivity, we use ours for consumption, entertainment and fraud.
