A letter to JAMB

With due respect professor Oloyede and all stakeholders In the education sector, I stand to challenge this year's admission policy as it is not in anyway good for our education system.

I really don't know the idea behind the pegged cut off mark but it's really a shock to many Nigerians. We find it uncalled for to make 30% the benchmark. Nigeria's education is yet to be standard yet we are bringing in unstandardized policy to destroy the education system.

Federal polytechnics find it difficult to admit all 180 scorers, do you think making it 100 will make a difference? I understand the fact that institutions might raise the cut off marks to their standard but the message the cut off is sending is simply that Nigeria's education is below standard but Universities can choose to adopt whatever standard.

I speak on behalf of everyone who wants the best for Nigeria. We hope that a review will be done and next year wouldn't be a shock when 50 might be the benchmark.

Thanks.

Of what use is Jamb? What happened to " not dualising entrance exams in line with international best practices," as posited by Mallam Adamu Adamu?
