The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board earlier today fixed the cut-off mark into Nigeria Universities and polytechnics as well as College of educations.
1. Degree institutions -180 and
2. NCE and ND institutions- 150.
While these will be a cheering news for those writing this exams, it is worrying that our standard of education has fallen this low! And at this rate, we could be looking at accepting students with 100 and 80marks in their JAMB results say 10yrs from now.
I'm highly disappointed at the government, stake holders and agencies responsible for upholding a high standard of learning culture in this generation.
Thought we are in d computer age,where learning is made easy as a result of computer and sources of information are just a click away!
Teachers in government primary school now come to school, simply to mark attendance so as to get paid at the end of the month. These have simply destroyed/laid no foundation into which the secondary school is meant to build upon.
How many primary/secondary school teachers have their children attending Government primary/secondary schools?
Government secondary schools are either too populated with pupils or Under-staffed with teachers to make a meaningful impact.
Private Schools are now the people's choice yet the quality being brewed still leaves much to be desired.
I remember back in the days:
-You dare not come late to school, yet you see kids outside the school environment around 8:30am strolling.
-You dare not leave your assignment at home, most kids this days don't even go to school with notebooks or bag!
The Education sector needs CHANGE.
Where are the Teachers?
I have good memories of mine, can this generation feel the same?
