NaijaPikinGidi:

Good thing you read some very good sense into your thick skull from that news report. You have now cut the waste of your time by 80%. All the results are not yet in, so what makes you think that the percentage of examination candidates with 6 straight Credits will not have increased in the final analysis? You are a pathetic dull brain! [size=24pt]33%[/size] it is!!

Don't give me stories. 98%. Yes or no, please.

The 33% that allows us to go straight into programmes.

While you are at that, please tell us: is yours school here?

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has withdrawn recognition for 113 secondary schools nationwide, as punishment for examination malpractices. Also, results of 30, 654 candidates, who sat for the May/June 2012 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) have been cancelled. According to Saturday Sun findings, WAEC has also cancelled individual subject results of 83, 745 candidates, released the results of 1, 549 and barred for two years 3, 321 candidates from sitting for the council examination over misconduct during the school exam, in line with the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examination.

The cancelled results were among the 112, 000 results of candidates withheld for their involvement in examination malpractice out of 1, 695, 878 candidates that sat for the May/June 2012 WASSCE. Only 38.81 per cent (649, 156) of the total candidates that sat for the May/June 2012 WASSCE obtained five credits in English Language, Mathematics and three other subjects, thus were qualified for admissions into universities and polytechnics.

The Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) of the council took the far-reaching decisions in Lagos after it deliberated on evidences (exhibits) produced by the council, which were seized from some candidates involved in examination malpractice. Other decisions taken by NEC include recommendation for sanctions against 97 supervisors/principals/other examination personnel identified and reported to their various state ministries of education, while 21 supervisors also indicted were blacklisted.

The WAEC committee also recommended that 465 secondary schools be warned for aiding and abetting examination malpractice during the 2012 May/June WASSCE, granted clemency to eight candidates even as the certificates of 12 others were withdrawn after they asked for restitution. The NEC, which was chaired by the Director of Basic and Secondary Education), Ministry of Education, Abuja, directed that the allegations against 930 candidates be further investigated, while their results are withheld.

Also, the council withdrew the recognition of six schools and commended one staff. A breakdown of schools sanctioned nationwide revealed that majority came from the South-South, followed by those from the North, South East and South West. Government-owned schools top the list of those involved in exam fraud. The NEC recommendation shows that recognition for 21 schools were withdrawn for two years. Also, recognition for 43 others were withdrawn, along side the principals of the schools.

Saturday Sun learnt that the council has communicated the decisions of NEC to the state ministries of education, which is expected to take action against the schools and principals indicted by WAEC.

Please try to think before you post. The National Student Financial Aid Scheme of South Africa(NSFAS) funds teriary education for the majority of SA students. Upon graduating, 40% of the loan amount is converted into a bursary and the graduate only has to pay back 60%. However, when Zuma became president he made this happen www.nsfas.org.za/news/good-news-for-final-year-university-students.htm

And besides all of that, graduates end up earning more in one year than their total cost of study over four years, so paying back the loan is not a challenge. I'm one of them, that's a firsthand account.

How does your comment above dispute the fact I made that majority of South African students and their families (present and future) will be consigned to poverty if they have to pay their debts? Indeed, wouldn't it therefore be proper to call them willful debtors and criminals ... who signed up for a loan under accepted terms and conditions knowing fully well that they do not intend to keep to their side of the agreement? That you badly want something you cannot afford is not an excuse to badly default when someone thinks it proper to give you a credit line!

[size=16pt]Education is broken — and we all need to fix it[/size]
by Sizwe Nxasana, August 02 2013, 05:35


SOUTH Africa has done well in improving access to education, especially among children of school-going age. Today almost all of these children have access to education, which was not the case in 1994.

However, the quality of education leaves much to be desired by any benchmark — for example, the low percentage of matrics whose mathematics and science marks qualify them for university entrance. About 35% of school districts are simply dysfunctional; another third of our schools’ performance is just average — not terrible, but they could do much better. Only the remaining third of our schools are operating at a reasonable standard.

Just more than 3-million learners, out of 12-million, are receiving a high standard of education. That is why education is a priority in the National Development Plan (NDP), South Africa’s economic road map to 2030.

The NDP mentions a number of other areas that need improvement, such as health and infrastructure, but it also touches on a lack of social cohesion, which is another factor that is inhibiting economic growth. More importantly, the NDP talks about active citizenship: the need for society to get involved in uplifting the country and what individuals, companies and the private sector as a whole can do.

The government recognises it cannot do everything on its own. It requires partnerships with people and institutions who want to be involved in improving the quality of education — or in any of the other areas identified in the NDP. These are priorities that will need the whole nation to come together to find the best solutions.

Education is a cause that has been close to my heart for some time. Since 2004, I’ve been the chairman of the board of trustees of the Thuthuka Bursary Fund (TBF). This initiative by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (Saica), in partnership with the government and private sector donors, identifies African and coloured learners with an aptitude for mathematics, then funds and mentors them through university and on to qualification as chartered accountants. It has already provided 95 qualified graduates, with 1,200 more in the academic pipeline.

The Department of Higher Education and Training matches TBF donors rand for rand, and the KwaZulu-Natal treasury has partnered with the TBF to put 100 students from every municipality in the province through the programme to ensure qualified financial services professionals are in place in every local authority, providing oversight and disciplined financial management, within a decade.

This is the kind of active citizenry that the NDP calls for, and Saica has stepped up to the plate – but South Africa needs engineers, doctors, scientists and qualified entrepreneurs, not just accountants. To satisfy this demand and pull the nation out of the poverty trap, we have to educate all of our people at a much higher level.

A new public-private partnership announced by Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe on July 16 takes the commitment to education by large business a step further. The National Education Collaboration Trust brings together unions, parent bodies, nongovernmental organisations and community leaders to support the government in improving the quality of education.

As a first priority, it has identified districts and schools that require interventions to fix what is broken. However, it will also implement innovation and new ideas of learning and teaching, of pedagogy, and improve the materials we use for learning and teaching, using technology to speed up improvement.

It will use concepts that may not exist in this country at the moment — the idea is to introduce systemic change on a broad scale, as opposed to programmes, wonderful though they are, that affect individual schools. The aim is to improve education, from Grade R to 12, over the next 10 years, so that in a decade’s time at least 90% of the country’s schools are performing at an acceptable level. There is a goal of 450,000 matrics passing core mathematics and science with the grades to get them into university every year, instead of the current 120,000.

A group effort

There is no magic bullet; the strategy can only work if all sectors of society commit to it. It’s an ambitious project, and it calls for the private sector, private donors, the unions and civil society to support these initiatives — not just in monetary terms, but also in kind. Parents must be involved in the lives of their children at school. They have to hold schools accountable for the work they should be doing. Teachers need to be at work, not to sit in the staff room, but to teach. South Africa needs active citizens: the youth, to take responsibility for their own lives and ensure accountability from their schools; and the unions, to understand their role. Their rights are entrenched in the constitution, hence we need unions that can look after the interests of their members while taking part in the reconstruction of the country.

To the business sector, involvement makes sound financial sense; growth is impossible unless South Africa produces more qualified graduates. More than that, it is a matter of simple morality — we all have a responsibility to improve society to the best of our abilities.

I have only three priorities right now: my family, my company and the transformation of education. If we don’t fix education, we’re in big trouble. The National Education Collaboration Trust is the first of its kind in this country. There will be more projects, but this is the first that supports the NDP in such an active, inclusive and integrated way.

The details of this partnership will be made available along the way. Every organisation and individual will be asked to play a role. We’ll be asked as citizens: "What are you prepared to contribute?" Pointing fingers and shifting blame will not help. Remember, every revolution starts with two people talking — if we can get everyone to take part in transforming the quality of education, many of our other challenges may just resolve themselves.

You must all do well to step out of your 33% limitations first.

[size=16pt]Outsourcing plan proposed for SA’s public schools[/size]
by Bekezela Phakathi, 07 August 2013, 05:50


SOUTH Africa should outsource the management of its public schools to private operators in order to tackle the failing education system, the Centre for Development and Enterprise (CDE) said on Wednesday.

South Africa’s education system has been roundly criticised in recent years, even though the government has been spending liberally on the sector.

The World Economic Forum Global Information Technology report, released this year, ranked the quality of South Africa’s education system 140th out of 144 countries. It ranked SA’s maths and science education second last in the world — ahead only of Yemen.

The CDE on Wednesday released a new research report which, among other things, proposes the greater involvement of the private sector in running public schools. It says the contract school concept constitutes a new kind of partnership.

"Government provides funding, support and clearly defined goals, while the private providers introduce innovative ways of delivering schooling to lift the quality of education in the public sector, particularly that available to the poor. It makes school managers accountable for performance."

"Contract schools" were often established in underserved, disadvantaged and poor communities. They expanded choice and improved access to quality education for poor people.

"South Africa’s efforts to reform schooling have had an unnecessarily narrow focus, largely ignoring an international trend of importance, especially for poorer communities," Ann Bernstein, the executive director of the CDE, said on Wednesday. Across the world the provision of schools was being diversified and decentralised and new partnerships were formed. "These schools are labelled differently. Charter schools, concession schools, academies, but all involve a contract between the state and private actors."

The CDE said such schools existed in more than 20 countries, according to the World Bank.

The CDE report focuses on US charter schools, Britain’s academy school programme and similar Swedish reforms. In the developing world it examines initiatives in Venezuela, Peru, Colombia and Pakistan.

"Contract schools are an opportunity for governments and parents to tap into private expertise and hold it to account." Ms Bernstein said.

No need to even read your long-winded garbage. Trying to deflect attention from the real issue.

You've been told that South African standards aren't Naai-gerian standards. When we say "broken", we mean "not good" enough. That's why we dominate the top 100 schools list in Africa. That's why we don't have to do foundation courses in the UK. Plus we have a healthy private education system.

With that, back to the news of the day:

2011.


http://www.wazobiareport.com/reports/WAEC-mass-failure-Fake-leaked-papers-to-blame

Lagos - The mass failure of students who took the May/June 2011 West African School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) has been blamed on, amongst other thing; the inability of students to focus, their fear of mathematics, and even the boom of the Blackberry messenger culture.

Wrong.

Serious investigative journalism has now led to the true reason only 31 percent of students who sat for the examination managed to pass.

Based in a tip-off, a ring of unscrupulous hoodlums dealing in leaked exam papers has been uncovered.

[size=14pt]In the end, almost 70% of the students had paid for copies of the exam questions downloaded from the website..[/size]

I wonder when the word "broken" began to have different meanings based on "standards". It that case since our educational standards in Nigeria are far higher than what you have in South Africa ... we must then add "totally broken" to Sizwe's article or Bekezela Phakathi's report for total impact! You claim South Africans don't have to do foundation courses, yet less than two (2%) percent of South African applicants ever qualify to enrol in UK Universities.

To a dull CraigB, a very crisp and succinct article is long-winded when it is loaded with truths like this one:

The truth of the report seems to be setting in gradually. It is for your keeps!!

There is no outburst. None whatsoever.

It will not go away.

While you're thinking about how you will answer the simple, yes or no question, ponder this too:

http://www.citizensadvocatenews.com/index.php/columns/dragnet/330-when-waec-blacklists-like-this-it-insults-us-too

The rapid unemployment in the country has turned every unemployed graduates and their undergraduate into mercenaries, using period of exams to eke out living. Most at times, these mercenaries are not better than those they come to help. The system is such that getting mercenaries has ceased to make any difference as everybody is the same. The introduction of Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) does not help matters either. Taking electronic materials into examination hall has become a common place but it is amazing that students don’t even know the correct spelling of words because social sites have corrupted their spelling abilities. Girls who take advantage of fleshes at their proper places to hide materials have also tale of bitterness. For how long will calculate or handset set in human sacred areas with their health implications? The misconducts are everywhere because they are signs of confusion.

The misconducts rather than vilify students indict bodies responsible for learning of wrongdoing. Let us look at our learning system, the factories that bake students. One is as good as the system that formed him/her. Nigeria’s learning environments and all their methods and equipment are entirely wrong, far from standards. How can one stay in three years in secondary school with neither English nor mathematics teacher? Make-belief laboratories are set up only during exams after students have been painfully taxed. The school with no sitting arrangement tries to do that during exams. Every method we see in our school is a step to ignorance.

Those harmless images are being uploaded out of more desperation!! The printed truth is cast in concrete!! Keep the report close enough when you go to bed!!

Yes, the truth of a 2% pass rate.

Out of every 100%, only two passed.

You've even resorted to cheating.

PREAMBLE :

In this write-up, ‘’English’’ means English Language. Examination bodies refer to WAEC and NECO, while the main syllabus format relates more to WAEC.

1.MASS FAILURE IN ENGLISH:

Available statistics from WAEC show that the percentage of student non-performers (those with grades D7 to F9) are usually more than 75% of the total examination candidates each year. The situation is so bad, that experts now feel that the level of English usage by our SSCE candidates suggest that English is a foreign language in Nigeria and not a second language.

2.IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH:

As a second language in Nigeria, English is important because it forms a bridge across our various local and indigenous languages. It also serves as a vehicle of mutual understanding within a neutral environment of ethnic and linguistic plurality. English is a mandatory subject that all students must pass for validation of their senior certificate exams. Passing all subjects except English, renders the examination void as many courses in higher institutions need more than a simple ‘Pass’ in English for admission.

3.FACTORS/REASONS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURE:

So what could be the reason(s) for the ‘systemic’ failure that seems to have become fashionable? We may attempt to list some reasons below, but it seems from the comments of examination bodies that the problems are traceable to schools, teachers, peer groups, parents, and recently, the internet and the intensely popular e-mails and phone texting.

4.SCHOOLS:

It has been noticed that many schools pay only lip service to the study of English. For instance, hardly can one find in majority of secondary schools, any programme deliberately designed to make students really appreciate and live for English as expected. Apart from badly arranged time-tables and tutors with only paper qualifications, the co-curricula activities arranged to promote the subject, hardly scratch the surface of the objective. Furthermore, deliberate efforts are not made to discourage “PIDGIN English”, which has become too common, even among children from homes with high incomes and living standards. In our universities, “PIDGIN” is actually the LINGUA FRANCA and the roots for this can easily be traced back to secondary schools. Schools need to wage some war on what is called “PIDGIN” because it has become a huge phenomenon for many anti-social acts including cultism in higher institutions. Today’s Nigerian student is exposed to different types of pidgin from home-grown pidgin, to the pidgin used in American films and west indian pidgin music, which could blur the lines between the proper terms of English if not correctly guided by his or her school.In addition, there is no emphasis on the oral aspect of the language or a simple corner or board created for pasting English-related articles to whip up the interest of students in the subject. Many schools do not have English indoctrinating materials to build up orientation or a culture of good English. What exists in most schools is the over flogging of schemes of work and past examination papers. There is nothing to aid students in the practical application of the subject from the perspective of being a contributory factor for the much talked about “All round education”.

5.TEACHERS:

From experience, teachers seem to be the major problem. Many tutors do not teach English to inspire their students to make proper use of it or make any effort at self-improvement after school hours or away from the classrooms. English is a living subject which reflects the quality of education a student has received at any point in life. Since most students here learn the culture of reading or self-study, every good English teacher must appreciate the need to reformat his or her methods for motivating students. Unfortunately, many teachers, after attaining the pinnacle of self-improvement, display a general lack of awareness of, or enthusiasm for solving the current problems of each of their students. They also seem disinterested in the strategic imperatives required to inspire the interest of these students.

6.PEER GROUPS,PARENTS & SOCIETY:

Peer groups, parents and the society generally make students fail English exams by encouraging the use of “PIDGIN”. Whereas the WAEC schemes of work is based on what may be termed “Queen’s English”. Pidgin language is counter-productive to the efforts of English teachers in grammar and phonology e.g. “I dey come” instead of “I’ll be back”, “dem” instead of “them”or “sontin” instead of “something”. Please see our more detailed write-up on Pidgin and use by our students. It has become so bad such that an SS3 student recently begged the Lagos State House of Assembly to be allowed to discuss with the gathering in pidgin!

7.THE INTERNET:

The internet, whose popularity and usage has loomed large, has not been helpful either. This is because of its corner-cutting format of English for speed during communication. In the process, a lot of grammatical and punctuation rules are broken, yet regarded as acceptable or web-friendly. With the enormous leaps and strides being made by “web-english”,and the unavoidable relevance of the internet to the lives and education of our students, it is likely that we are witnessing the dawning revolution of spoken and written English. This may eventually change the future structure of examinations too. Suffice to say however, that the pervading influences of the internet and other sources of mass communication is not very helpful for now.

8.CONCLUSION:

Having noted that many students these days want to be spoon-fed, we have developed more write-ups to either boost or point out likely errors to fill-in the gaps created by the problems listed above. And while many students prefer easy study gadgets( such as “Exam Focus”, “Round Up” or “Key points for Examination Preparation”), there are still other steps which can be taken to encourage their quest for knowledge.We intend to itemize these through write-ups on this forum from time to time.

The Vice Chancellor of Plateau State University, Bokkos, Nenfort Gomwalk, has lamented the shortage of qualified lecturers in Nigerian universities.
Mr. Gomwalk said this in an interview on Friday in Jos.
He described the situation “as so terrible” adding that 70 per cent of the lecturers in the nation’s universities were assistant lecturers.
“The fact of the matter is that several Nigerian universities have dearth of PhD holders as lecturers. Most of the lecturers in the nation’s Ivory towers are Masters Degree holders and some of them have spent years pursuing their PhD degrees without success.
[size=15pt]“I am aware that some of the Masters Degree holders have spent 10 to 15 years pursuing their doctorate degrees,” he said.[/size]
The university head noted that the country had no fewer than 150 universities all competing to recruit competent and qualified lecturers from the few available hands.
He said that the situation would worsen with the establishment of nine new universities by the Federal government, and the establishment of more state universities across the country.
