From available Literacy rates:

Nigeria: 61% of total population (about 104,210,000 literate people)
SA: 86.4% of total population (about 43,000,000 literate people)

Point is ... Nigeria has two and a half times more literate people than South Africa! And going by SA's definition of a Pass mark (33%), it is apparent that the quality of your literate population is a massive sham!

No doubt you are being your very deluded self. It's your right!!

If u watched their BORING VILLAGE life movies you will know about THE IGBO MIDGET BOYS MO AND HIS BRO.

[b]Its so funny even their movies try to potray who theyr=CLAIMERS WHO WALK AROUND WITH FALSE PRIDE.

IGBOS MY BRO GRAIGY ARE KNOWN FOR MANY WRONGS THAT NIGERIANS ARE DOING IN FOREIGN LANDS.
419,SLAVERS,PROSTITUTES AND MANY MORE.

Even Nigerians do tell em about denting Naija name. Ask EBANKOLE(Yoruba).[/b]

Msauza:

Then go to crime stats and do the same analysis. Again, our 33% pass mark will score exactly 100% in Nigerias system. Our exams and level of teaching is not the same, South Africas level of education is on par with that of first world countries since we have many Americans and Europeans schooling in SA.

GidiNaijaPikin:

A very nice conceding response. Just to remind you again that ... 33% is your pass mark, not ours! Carry on as you were! Case closed!

Msauza: INDIA have adopted 33% pass mark system but have far greater brains than Nigerians. I quote from the source:

The qualifying marks in each subject of external examination shall be 33% . However at Senior School Certificate Examination,in a subject involving practical work, a candidate must obtain 33% marks in the theory and 33% marks in the practical separately in addition to 33% marks in aggregate, in order to qualify in that subject.

I don't usually get into non military debates....but this has to be one of the most st*pid things you've ever said. One of the most st*pid things ever said on this forum. Do a reverse analysis.

Number of non literate Nigerians = 67 000 000
Number of non literate South Africans = 6 800 000

Nigeria therefor has almost 10 times more illiterates than SA. Do you see how useless your so called analysis was?

GidiNaijaPikin:

Only a numbskull 33% brain like you will conclude that India's rating system is equivalent to SA's 33% pass! Moreover India is in a trial phase just so that the word fail is eradicated from scoresheets. Pay attention to the variables of India's system and note that it is not the same as your blanket system where an abysmal 33% is a pass!! In India 33% is not an absolute qualifying grade for promotion!

===========================================


The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced grading for Class X from 2010. Board examinations will finally come without the pass or fail tag for students.

The nine-point scale grading system will require students to get qualifying grades in four of the five subjects to get promoted to the next level. It has been decided not to carry pass or fail on the mark sheets of students. Students will have four options to improve on their grades within a period of two years from their exam.

The grading system will adopt a five-point scale, which means awarding students grades from A to E. This will eliminate the schools from showing raw scores on the evaluation report of each student.

The new grading system is based on two parameters - absolute and percentile marks. There is a uniform model to be followed in assessing all subjects. But the parameters are different for different subjects depending upon the difficulty level. For example, A star grade would signify 9 points for Maths, while the same would signify 7 points for English.

Under the new grading system there will be subject-wise grades, no cumulative grade will be awarded, as our mark sheets do not carry the total marks at present. The last grade will be the un-qualifying grade and this will decide whether the candidate has passed the exam or failed it.''

Gradually [b]the word 'fail' would be abolished once this system is successfully implemented. This would reduce stress on students. "But we may have to wait for some more years before completely abolishing fail from Boards.[/b]

Summative Assessment Based on the term-end examination

There will be two evaluations each in the first and second terms.
Each evaluation will carry 10 marks apiece.

Formative Assessment To evaluate and grade class work, homework, assignment and project work

There will be one term-end exam for each term.
The first term-end exam will carry 20 marks.
The second term-end exam will carry 40 marks.


Evaluation

Students of class IX and X will be evaluated on a 9-point grading system. Each grade, given on the basis of both formative and summative assessments, will correspond to a range of marks.

The nine point grading scale for measuring Scholastic achievements is reproduced below: -

Marks Range


Grade Grade point

91-100 A1 10.0

81-90 A2 9.0

71-80 B1 8.0

61-70 B2 7.0

51-60 C1 6.0

41-50 C2 5.0

33-40 D 4.0

21-32 E1 C

00-20 E2 C


Points to Remember

(i) Assessment of theory/practical papers in external subjects shall be in numerical scores. In addition to numerical scores, the Board shall indicate grades in the marks sheets issued to the candidates in case of subjects of external examinations. In case of internal assessment subjects, only grades shall be shown.

(ii) Subjects of internal examination in Class X the assessment shall be made on a five point scale I.e. A,B,C,D & E.

(iii) The grades shall be derived from scores in case of subjects of external examination. In case of subjects of internal assessment, they shall be awarded by the schools.

(iv) The qualifying marks in each subject of external examination shall be 33% . However at Senior School Certificate Examination,in a subject involving practical work, a candidate must obtain 33% marks in the theory and 33% marks in the practical separately in addition to 33% marks in aggregate, in order to qualify in that subject.

(v) For awarding the grades, the Board shall put all the passed students in a rank order and will award grades as follows :

A1 : Top 1/8th of the passed candidates
A2 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
B1 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
B2 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
C1 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
C2 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
D1 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
D2 : Next 1/8th of the passed candidates
E : Failed candidates

Important Points

(a) In case of a tie, all the students getting the same score, will get the same grade. If the number of students at a score point need to be divided into two segments, the smaller segment will go with the larger.

(b) Method of grading will be used in subjects where the number of candidates who have passed is more than 500.

(c) In respect of subjects where total number of candidates passing in a subject is less than 500, the grading would be adopted on the pattern of grading and distribution in other similar subjects.

=========================================

Please acquaint yourself of the word "aggregate". And make sure to understand the detailed qualifying variables before putting your stupid.ity in the openview of the world! It's your right to celebrate the sad emptiness of your cranial enclave!!!

Msauza:

Rooivalk always had its original engine built by South Africans, but the engine was not that powerful to the level they hoped for. So, to save time for yet another tiring project and costs, they had to collaborate with french company which were already specialist of Aerospace to upgrade their engine parts. So what is your argument? Bwahahahahaha!!

saengine:

Msauza:

Bwahahahahaha!!! That is very same system practiced in South Africa. That was in 2010 the system is now fully implemented in INDIA. Canada is also using the same system.

" It has been decided not to carry pass or fail on the mark sheets of students. Students will have four options to improve on their grades within a period of two years from their exam."

GidiNaijaPikin:

Address the counterpoints I made using your own material rather than tantruming on me Your brain cannot even analyse the variables of the data and information you tried to use! Or better still, is this not a typical South African case of copying and pasting ... ? India is not saying 33% is a pass ... rather they are saying that failure will not be rubbed in on failing students.

GidiNaijaPikin:

Again, even with Nigeria's high population there are far more literate Nigerians than South Africa can ever aspire to educate in several decades! Nigeria's 61% rate is easily 300% the number in SA (put at 86%) ... hence, an upwardly mobile workforce, a highly competitive economic outlook and lots of room for local knowledge and skills development in Nigeria. Point is ... your literate population is grossly overstated especially when you have 33% as a pass mark . And there'll never be an end to Nigeria's so called illiterates taking your jobs and educating you all!

AwodwaGyanOniwe: Drewza
WE SAW THIS ON eNCA AFRICA NEWS, US ARMY SAYS THEY WERE IMPRESSED WITH S.A. ARMY
THE TRUETH IS SELEKA,M23(crying already), HAVE NEVER TESTED THE FULL MIGHT OF "MIGHTY SANDF" AS I SAID THE ZULUS,VENDAS,AFRIKANERS,ENGLISH SA,INDIANS SA,CHINESE SA,XHOSA, TSWANA,SHANGAAN ETC..WEREN'T THERE SELEKA KILLED FEW CHAPS FROM BLOEMFONTEIN.

THE TRUETH IS ONCE WE Bleep THEM UP SOON WE WILL BE CALLED DICTATORS

Msauza:

The bottom line is 33% pass mark or should I say qualifying mark which is clearly the same thing. Same practice in Japan, China, India, Canada, Italy, etc only US and UK is 40%. I quote from the source:

The qualifying marks in each subject of external examination shall be 33% . However at Senior School Certificate Examination,in a subject involving practical work, a candidate must obtain 33% marks in the theory and 33% marks in the practical separately in addition to 33% marks in aggregate, in order to qualify in that subject.

The source above speaks about 33% and not 40, 50, or 60. The CBSE is merely a copy of South Africas Secondary education system.

NaijaPikinGidi:

Amazing how you'll go the length to prove your failure levels! Your effort to drag in other countries is a waste of time. Ever heard that downgrading benchmarks can never equate to upgraded brains? Weak brain capacity is the reason for the overruning of your base by SELEKA! Enjoy your 33% pass mark!!

I don't believe that south African literacy figure they postt here. About 90% of the pre-apartheid era blacks are illiterates shut out of the educational system by their racist white boer and Anglo masters. An intellectually wasted generation and majority group in south Africa. All still alive drinking 'cool drink' beer while immigrant Nigerians with technical and professional education and work skills take over the citizens jobs everyday

for every 10 south Africans that gets a job in Nigeria, about 1,000 south African illiterates have lost a job to a better educated and better skilled Nigerian worker .

literacy in south Africa simply means being able to write and spell your father's name. You get counted among the national figure of 86% literacy .
