I will go back to my school to change my result to first class cos that's where I belong now. They should expect me soon.

They should work on some of the outdated and antiquated curriculums which are no longer viable in this 21st century, only with that, we know they are Serious

If u are smart enough u will know that Ur CGPA will also reduce due to the change in grade points. Ur A back then which was 5 points will now be 4 points, down to Ur least grade. U will still fall under 2.1 that's If u graduated with 2.1

Its still the same thing.

This is d least problem in d education sector, incompetent lecturers, lack of academic staff, rigid rules in some schls, manner of learning/teaching....a chemistry graduate doesn't even know what PbSO4 looks like
