The cut of marks for pupils seeking to get admission into Federal secondary schools recently released shows a disparity in cut off marks.

Why will someone from Anambra need to score as high as 139, and someone in Yobe need to score 2?

Or why will someone in Lagos need to score 133 and another from Kebbi need to score 9 to gain admission??

Richtaiwo:

Those are the cows and terrorists pitobi is licking their arsess as we speak. In another thread, he will say igbos don't insult the notherners and they are building bridges.

Richtaiwo:

When you finally get your biafra, you can ignore any part that is disadvantaged in any form. But in Nigeria, the national resources can't be concentrated in the training of a singl section who claim they are not even Nigerians. Unity Schools are for the benefit of all Nigerians. If you don't like it, nobody is forcing you.

I will never support quota system in anything else except the Unity School system.

If you understand that the objective of the unity school is to always have a diverse mixture together and all enjoying subsidised education, then you will appreciate why it is a quota based system.

Otherwise, quota does not allow for the best.

Unity school is not for the best, it is for unity in diversity.

I used to know about some federal government school for the gifted.

That type of school should have no quota system to recruit students of diverse ethnicities, but a single system of recruiting only the exceptionally gifted students, regardless of which part of the country they originate from.

You mean we should call black white because someone from my tribe wants to become president? why I'm in the same country with animals like you is what pain me most

StOla:
Straight answer is quota.

Every state has a quota, so whatever it takes to fill that quota versus the scores of the students from that state, is what you see as cut off mark.

No state has cheated another state. All have only fulfilled their respective quotas to benefit from the subsidised education that the federal government is providing to aid their unity objective of those Unity Schools.

It is not by force to attend a unity school which does not even constitute 5% of all the secondary schools in Nigeria.

Unity School system is a post civil war programme of the federal government to engender harmony and unity in Nigerian children.

I did not attend a unity secondary school and I made it in life.

That I did not enjoy the subsidised secondary education provided by Unity Schools, does not mean I did not enjoy the heavily subsidised public tertiary education that Nigeria provided that landed me a job in a multinational firm.

For that, I am grateful and free of student loans my foreign counterparts are paying.

Jokerman:


As usual,no Northerner... But you see them holding top positions in federal offices

Richtaiwo:

But some people who claim they are not Nigerians will rather prefer all the slots be allocated to them to the detriment of educationally disadvantaged Nigerian states. Nigeria really dodged a big missile.

obaidan:
This is where the rot in the system starts. While a girl/boy from Imo state cannot go the school after scoring 130 and wanders aroun, and a boy/girl from osun state turns to hawking because his 123 score cannot him admitted, on the same exam the a boy/girl with a score of 5 from zamfara or yobe will get admitted, gets pampered through school and uses the same kind of silly cut-off to get admitted into a University, gets pampered again through Uni, presented with a Bachelors certificate, then the same silly cut-off, now rebranded as Quota/Federal Character will be applied and he will be employed in government agencies, ministries, same quota will elevate him/her till he/she becomes director/perm sec, THEN HE BECOMES MATURED TO WRECK HAVOC ON THE SOCIETY by being useless and having no value to contribute to the growth of the society...Just collecting salary, taking kickbacks from contractors, and changing figures

StOla:

If you say by quota, then there should be no cut off mark, just imagine all candidates of Rivers state indigenes could not make their cut off marks, will they still be granted admission, having failed to meet the required cut off mark?

DIVINEEVIDENCE:


And your idea of unity is to give admission to a student who failed 98 questions out of 100 while denying the one who got 86 questions correctly?

An example of unity is what obtains in the NYSC, where Igbo is posted to Fulani communities and Yoruba to Itsekiri.

Unity schools should operate in that same sense by shipping students to different states to intermingle and develop a broader world view.

This admission quota is pure marginalisation.

I should think the idea of educationally less disadvantaged states should be a long-term project of shaping up the education quota of bereft states to match up with their sharper counterparts.

If after 50 plus years an average student in Kebbi would find it difficult to score up to 50% in general subjects then the system should be scrapped.
It is clearly unworkable.

Richtaiwo:

Point of correction, I'm a Nigerian, not biafran. So I wonder how I'm in same country with ipob piiiigs.

Brendaniel:


Put a uniform cut off for everybody, that way it becomes a competition for all states, imagine the shame a state will have that in the whole state they did not have any student who gained admission....

That will make the governors work on improving educational standard in their states...


Are you trying to say that unity schools don't deserve brilliant students from the north or the north is incapable of producing brilliant students like the south east?

Hankim:

OnknownSoldier:


States that have the facilities to accommodate more students will definitely have a lower cut-off mark.

The low cut-off in the north is to encourage people to go to school.

So if Lagos has a lower cut off mark compare to Anambra, it means Lagos have the capacity to accommodate more students. Unity schools are state owned. Hope you know?

AustineE1:
Anambra state and by extension the entire Igbo states are in a world of there own.

Roger3D:
Oga go and build your own school. Unity schools are for the FG and if you don't like them, enroll your kids elsewhere

chiboycue:




May be the IQ of northerners are low that is why their cutoff mark is low as well.

Mindlog:
My eldest sister scored 543 when it was over 600 and Imo state had the highest cut off mark of 527 back then.

She passed the subsequent interview but was not given admission to her first choice of Queens College, Lagos nor her second choice FGC Ijanikin as my parents wanted her to remain in Lagos....dem post am go FGC Sokoto but her classmate from Kaduna who scored less than 450 got admitted into Queens College...my parents said thunder fire Federal Ministry of Education and refused the admission, got my sister enrolled in a day secondary school in Lagos 😂😂😂

Segzy19:
One can even observe the obvious gender inequality in the cut offs for male vs female in the northern states .... Those guys up north are so backwards and they are seriously slowing down the development of this country. We can't really do much with them leaning on the rest of the country
