I think this is true. Many people study courses that they have no natural love or passion for. The only motivation for many is the socio-economic benefit not because they have a natural affinity or inclination for the course.

I can tell you that every OAU student is brilliant because no matter what you must score 200 in jamb and post-jamb before you can get admission. Anything less than 200 is automatically no admission - even if your father is Buhari and your godfather is Trump!

But the problem is many students are using their brilliance in the wrong direction. Each course has its peculiar needs. Someone who's brain was created for education will want to kill himself because of medicine or pharmacy.

I suggest that they review our educational Systems.

Also that they give proper guidance and exposure to secondary school students about other courses; how they improve the society and examples of successful people in those fields.

Me as an example, my father saw me as a wasted effort when I insisted on studying geography. According to his calculation, the only opportunity for a geography graduate is teaching. Well maybe that's true if I relied on my certificate alone. But no, I retrained and re-educated myself and today doctor na king for him lane and I'm a king in my lane.

But to be candid, if other departments wanted to train us to the real standard -haa!- 70% (in fact 90%) of us will not graduate. Unfortunately, health sciences don't have the luxury of push-and-go since they deal directly with human life.

In abroad, the lecturers would be in serious trouble by now. It is an indication of failure on their part. Their inability to educate properly or teach their students.

Nigeria education is fundamentally deficient largely due to parochial and archaic lectures and lecture system.

In developed universities, a lecturer once he or she notices a dip in your thesis or assignments, he arranges a meeting with you to discuss what the issues may be with you. He can go as far as referring you to Guidance and Counseling unit. They go the length to have you understand. A school's performance should never be judged on mass failure.

And these same students go abroad and come out tops

ednut1:
Parents forcing their olodo kids to do the course . Useless parents and wards

flexyrule:
People still fail all these cram and pass courses?


Proudly a MECHANICAL ENGINEER.

That you scored 200 & above in JAMB EXAMS does not necessarily mean you are brilliant..with the scourge of massive Examination malpractices in the country, even to scored 300 in jamb or distinctions in SSCEs is now so cheap..

Manolo213:
That's a normal result in uniport, those that pass a course is usually lower

StarUp:
What's wrong with that result? It was meant to only separate those that truly prepared for the exams from those who didn't... Not really a test of brilliance.

AreaFada2:

Our education system is broken totally. If proper admission criteria are used to admit students, such mass failure should be impossible.

I also feel jamb is not suitable for university admission anymore. We need HSC or A level system back. That allows students to mature academically and prepare for independent learning.

Such mass failure is a waste of resource and time.

Students should also be given grants or bursery depending on the family economic background. Financial issues are affecting many students too.
Fuel subsidy is not more important that education subsidy already in place and extra bursary.

Healthcare and education subjects students need even more bursary as they will be key sector staff

incogni2o:
Hmmm

Lecturers that feel fulfilled when there is mass Failure.

My Sister had a reseat too, but thank God. She is now serving.

E no easy mehn.

Some courses like geology and pharmacy aren't for the unserious folks.......

demolinka:
Ah! How geology own go come be na

joyandfaith:
Pharmacy is not for lazy student. Above results are even good compared to what happened when tony fash was oau sug. i was not a student then. tony fash-led sug fought mass failure in pharmacy. external examiners remarked scripts and many eventually passed.

deri4luv1:
When I was in Uniport Pharmacy! 52 of my classmates repeated 200lvl, it's not a new thing, they should just sit up

doggedfighter:

Some of those students spent years at home before they could get that course. I hope things will change for good

abdullkabar:
Pharmacy is too tough in OAU
Imagine offering BCH303 as an elective!!!
Course that's a core course for BCH students, even they struggle to pass it.
Our educational system needs reviewing, and the culprit is, our students this days are getting extremely LAZY, they want to flex too much while studying.

Liposure:
good morning miss.

shogsman:
This is a testament of their porous method of teaching, the whole department needs a complete overhaul, the school should sack the lectures taking that course.

Ustec:
So them dey repeat level for OAU
