paniki:

Your links only show that this is governments problem. They PAID for the students to be educated and now some of the graduates don't want to give the money back. Lol. But trust me when I say that the students now have jobs that pay them way more than what it cost to educate them. I'm sure you know that.

I can tell you that Nigerian students who get scholarship get it for FREE!! No strings attached, no headaches ... Just go study, pass and carry on with your life! Niger Delta Amnesty Scholarships, NDDC, PTDF, States, Federal, Shell, Mobil, Chevron ... just name it! No Nigerian should owe anyone for attaining basic or tertiary academic competence! Unlike your debtor South African graduates! Shame!

http://lagosbooksclub.com/these-are-reasons-why-students-fail-waec-english-examinations/

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.

80% of teachers in North unqualified – NTI

on July 04, 2013 / in News 10:55 am / Comments


By Luka Binniyat

KADUNA — National Teachers’ Institute, NTI, has said that about 80 percent of all school teachers in most states in the north were not qualified for the job.

Director-General of the Institute, Dr. Aminu Sharehu, said this yesterday in Zaria, Kaduna State, at a national conference on Quality Assurance and Control in Teacher Education as a Tool for Achieving Millennium Development Goals, organised by Federal College of Education, Zaria.

However, Governor Muhktar Yero of Kaduna State, who also spoke on the occasion, said that only 50 percent of the teachers in his state were not qualified and not 80.

Sharehu said: “Over 80 percent of teachers in the North are under-qualified because there is no motivation.

Kaduna

http://nigerianeyeonline.com/50-of-kaduna-teachers-unqualified-yakowa/

50% of Kaduna teachers unqualified – Yakowa
Governor Patrick Yakowa of Kaduna State, yesterday, said about 50 percent of primary school teachers in the state were unqualified, adding that 2,000 of the teachers secured employment with forged certificates.

Yakowa spoke during the graduation and awards ceremony of the second joint National Teachers’ Institute, NTI, in Kaduna, yesterday.

He said: “The theme of the two-day summit, Enhancing Teacher Education: Quality and Professional Development, by NTI is not only timely but instructive, since it falls alongside the same aggressive effort we are currently making in Kaduna State in improving the quality of our teachers.

“Because we are convinced that the teacher is the key factor in any learning situation, we, therefore, associate ourselves with any effort to develop teacher’s quality.

He added that this was what guided the state government to evaluate primary school teachers and discovered that “nearly 50 percent” of them “lack the required qualifications to teach” even as “about 2,000 teachers had been employed with fake certificates.”

http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/news/general/255781-tales-of-ghost-unqualified-teachers-in-nigeria-public-schools.html


Throughout 2012, across states, governors were swinging sledge hammers on teachers. They seemed to have woken- quite suddenly- from a deep slumber to realize that the major reason why thousands of students were performing woefully in final year public examinations conducted by WAEC and NECO was perhaps because even their teachers needed proper schooling.

From Bauchi, Gombe, Kogi, Ondo, Edo to mention a few the tsunami raged on. A rough collation of reported figures reveals that since 2012 leading to February this year, across some states 3,170 ghost teachers were discovered, while ,274 others forged their certificates.

[size=22pt] [b]The record also revealed that a staggering 6,502 were unqualified. But the latest revelation of the depth of rot in the basic education sub-sector in some states was reported in Kaduna state two weeks ago. 1,300 teachers failed the same tests administered to primary four pupils [/size]

Of the total 1,599 teachers who sat for the examination only one of them scored 75 percent, 250 scored between 50 to 75 percent and 1,300 scored below 25 percent.
These tests were just a follow-up to an earlier statement by the late Governor Patrick Yakowa November last year that no fewer than 2,000 teachers had been discovered with fake certificates and the Chairman of the Kaduna state House of Assembly on education Yunusa Mohammad who said that out of the 36,000 teachers in the state, 15,000 were not qualified.
It was not the first time teachers were failing such a test in Nigeria. In 2008, Kwara state government administered the same primary four examinations to 19,125 teachers and out of the 259 who scored zero, 10 of them possessed university degrees.

Worth reposting:

1,300 teachers failed the same tests administered to primary four pupils
