The West African Examinations Council , WAEC has
withheld the results of 137,295 candidates,
representing 9.74 percent of candidates who wrote the
2016 SSCE, for further investigation in connection with
various cases of examination malpractice.


According to the Head of Nigeria National Office of
WAEC, Mr. Isaac Adenipekun, the reports of the
investigations will be presented to the Nigeria
Examinations Committee (NEC) of the Council for
consideration.



He said the Committee’s decisions will be
communicated to the affected candidates in due course.
Announcing the release of the results, Mr. Adenipekun,
said there was a significant improvement in the
performance of candidates when compared with last
year's results.


He attributed the improvement to better commitment on
the side of the students, teachers and governments at
all levels.


Adenipekun however warned that individual candidates
or some state governments that were still indebted to
the council may not have access to the council’s
website for their results.


Candidates that participated in the examination are

Lecturers from the University of Lagos, UNILAG have
kicked against the federal government's directive to
scrap the award of the Higher National Diploma (HND)
by polytechnics in the country. The lecturers claimed
that the move would result in more unemployments for
polytechnic lecturers. The Federal Government had given a directive that Polytechnics should upgrade to
campuses of the proximate universities with the Vice
Chancellors of the upgraded universities appointing
provosts for the polytechnics, subject to the ratification
of the Universities’ Councils.


Acting Head, Mass Communication Department, UNILAG,
Dr. Oluruntola Sunday, said that the move by Federal
Ministry of Education will not augur well as certain
machineries ought to have been put in place before
declaring the outright scrapping of HND by polytechnics.




Prof Sunday noted that since most lecturers in
polytechnics have to upgrade their degrees to a higher
level so as to enable them fit into the university system,
many lecturers may lose their jobs due to constraints of
time, age , finance and even unfavourable structures.



“Although, in terms of financial benefits, polytechnic
lecturers earn more than their universities counterpart.
But, both qualifications and expectations as regard
lecturing differ. So, for government to declare change of
the status quo of the polytechnics; they have to put
things in place. For example,the consideration for
lecturers in polytechnics to upgrade their degrees to
varsity equivalent will and need to arise.





“ If this arise, the implication is that some lecturers may
lose their jobs due to certain constraint that has to do
with their age, experience, time , finance and the issue of
automatic change from what they were used to.



The question is, what machineries are put in place to
effect this change in policy? Also, a senior lecturer from
Mass Communication department, Dr. Tayo Poopola
lamented that the constant change of policies without
getting people's opinions has been the bane in the
education sector.




Dr Poopola said that Nigeria, who operate a democratic
rule, ought to set agenda for public discussion before
declaring a new policy. “ This is a democratic era and in
democracy, there is the Agenda Setting model.
Government should set the agenda for public discussion.




Let them get the views of members of the public. And
take proactive steps that will be in the interest of the
public,'' he said.


''The era of somebody arrogating wisdom to formulating
of policy that backfires is not good. This has been the
bane of Nigeria's education system. Before now, we had
the 6-3-3-4 system which was scrapped. They brought
9-5-4. So, where are we going? This kind of policy
changes in the education sector without due
consultation is not good for national development,” he
concluded.

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has
described as demoralising, the erstwhile dichotomy
between HND and B.Sc in the country.


Its National President, Comrade Usman Dutse, a lecturer
in the Department of General Studies, Federal
Polytechnic, Bauchi, made this known in an interview on
Wednesday.


“At the last meeting of the council on establishment a
memo was presented by the minister of education
demanding the removal of the dichotomy placed on
HND and B.Sc graduates.


“The minister said the reason dichotomy was placed ab
initio, has now been overtaken by events. “And now if
you look at the environment and the situation that we
have in the country at the moment, you would see that
the abolition of the dichotomy is long overdue.


“One of the major reasons the meeting and other
stakeholders gave for the abolition of the dichotomy is
the hitherto different entry requirements into both the
university and polytechnic. “Now the requirements have
been harmonised. There was also the issue of
curriculum, which was not wide.


“The issue of dichotomy was demoralizing to
polytechnic graduates. “We have a lot of HND graduates
in the civil service and they have contributed a lot, but
that dichotomy is killing their morale because they feel
that their qualification is not being appreciated.


“Now it has been discovered that performance at work
is not based on the certificate that people have or
where you come from, but on the skills and the ability
you have. “Experience has shown that there are a lot of
HND holders that perform better than some degree
holders.’’


Dutse noted that the dichotomy had created a flawed
mindset among parents and employers that university
degrees were more prestigious than higher national
diplomas.


“The dichotomy even made people to give preference to
university education at the expense of polytechnic
education because if you look at the patters of
application for admission to tertiary institutions every
year, you will see that applicants keep applying more to
the universities. “In the last admission, 1.6 million
applicants applied to the universities, but only 38,000
applied to the polytechnics, while only 29,000 applied to
collages of education.


“And the major reason for all that was this dichotomy
thing. “Out of the 1.6 million people that applied to the
universities, only 300,000 were admitted.


“It means that 1.3 million applicants would not be
offered admission. “So, dichotomy has denied people
polytechnic education, but with the abolition of that
dichotomy now, the tide will change a little especially
with the Federal Government now talking about
diversifying the economy.


“I believe that the diversification process will lay a lot of
emphasis on technical and vocational education and
that is where polytechnic education is strongest.’’

The dismissal of Prof Dibu Ojerinde as the JAMB
Registrar along side 16 other Chief Executives of some
parastatals and agencies in the Ministry of Education
came as a surprise to many.


Though the Ministry of Education did not make known
the reasons behind the sack, however, going by the
gross irregularities that marred the conduct of the last
UTME and the ongoing 2016 admission process, the
reason for the sack of the former JAMB boss whose
tenure was suppose to end April 2017 may not be far-
fetched.
