Mathematics Quiz Competition I Organized Between two schools here In Katsina by korlahwarleh: 7:22am On Apr 05, 2016 |
Good morning house. I am a corp member serving in Katsina. I will be rounding up my service here in Katsina State on the 14th of april. I serve at a Government owned school in Katsina State (Government Day Secondary School, 35 battalion barracks, Natsinta, Katsina) with State code no KT/15A/1141.I enjoy working with my co-teachers, teaching and interacting with my students. Although, the school is a government school in a typical nothern setting, in which the standard of education can not be compared to what is obtained over there in the south. However I discovered that there are exceptional, brilliant and talented students in the school and generally in the north. What they just need is a platform through which they can express themselves, a positive attitude towards western education, encouragement from all and sundry (government included), and extra motivation. As a mathematics teacher at my PPA, I discovered that there are students that are quite brilliant and intelligent in my classes even though "turanshi" (english) tends to be a problem for them. This made me organise a mathematics quiz competition between my school and a private school(The Nigerian Army Officers Wives Association, NAOWA) secondary school also inside the barracks. This is actually geared towards enlightening the students, giving them confidence and trying my own best in a little way to erase the erroneous belief that they are less better than students in the south. Although my school won, they (the students of both schools) were made to understand that It's not just about winning but having confidence in themselves, seeing the result of relentless effort, which can be applicable in other areas of their lives, and most importantly getting them prepared for their SSC Exams, which they will write next year because the questions were WAEC standard questions. Prizes were also presented to the students involved in the competition and other participants at the event RECOMMENDATIONS. 1. One of the major problems I discovered in the course of my service year is the fact that the students are not really motivated to study in school. Most times, the teachers try their best but I observed that the best form of motivation a child can obtain as it pertains to his or her education comes from home, which in most cases does nt exist here in Katsina state and probably in the north generally. Western education is not encouraged from/at home unlike Islamic education here in the north. I hope it changes when this present generation grow up. Futhermore, Parents are admonished to motivate and encourage their wards to go to school expecially here in the north, as this form of encouragement exceeds any one they can get from the school 2. Another thing I noticed which I feel should be worked upon is the fact that teachers, principals and other administrative staff are fond of communicating with the students in hausa language expecially from junior secondary level, which they try to correct at the senior level but It's usually too late by that time. It's in Katsina here that I saw an SS2 student that can not even tell a teacher in english that she wants to go and collect something. Also I've seen some that do not understand basic words and even greetings in english. This habit should be stopped, expect WAEC examinations will be written in hausa language. Pictures of this event will come up shortly. 27 Likes 9 Shares |

Northern schools are nothing to write home about.. I did my secondary school in Kano... although I received quality education simply because its a private school. But I can tell you the government schools in the north is so so bad.. pupils sit on the floor, the schools are dilapidated .. the pupils come to school anytime they like... SMH.. those in the north will understand what I'm saying ... ko ba haka ba ne?? ![]() 5 Likes 1 Share |

CaptainECole: What exactly is the purpose of this comment? Is it news that our educational infrastructure nationwide is inadequate? I served in the south as well and it's the same story with most government institutions, what we need to profer are solutions instead. 18 Likes |
