LearnAfrica Plc (former Longman Plc) has congratulated the candidates
of the 2013 June/July National Examinations Council (NECO) SSCE and
the council itself for the significant improvement of performances and
reduction in examination malpractices.
Results released recently
by NECO indicated that about 70 per cent of candidates obtained five
credits and above - an improvement of about 18 percent compared to the
2012 figure of about 52 per cent.
In a press release which was
signed by the Head of Marketing, LearnAfrica Plc, Mr Allwell Nwakwo, and
made available to newsmen on Wednesday, the company attributed the
improved outcomes to quality teaching by teachers, hard work by
students, availability of quality resources and seamless organisation by
the examination body.
“We have no doubt that there is still room
for improvement. That is why we are investing in motivating Nigerian
students through the LearnAfrica-NECO Excellence Awards and other
initiatives of our foundation.”
It will be recalled that in 2012,
the corporate social responsibility arm of the company, the LearnAfrica
Education Development Foundation, instituted the Excellence Awards to
recognise and reward outstanding NECO candidates, schools and teachers
in all states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory.

JAMB registrar laments poor quality of education, teacher training
REGISTRAR of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Dibu Ojerinde, has lamented the sorry state of education and poor quality of teachers in the country, calling on stakeholders in the sector, particularly colleges of education, to help improve on the quality through standard admission criteria.
Ojerinde said these, on Tuesday, during the first technical meeting on the 2013/2014 admissions to colleges of education, national diploma and national innovative diploma-awarding institutions, at the Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo.
He said: “You are reminded to strictly follow the guidelines as outlined by the proprietors of your institutions and the Technical/Non-technical ratio for polytechnics and mono-technics. The quota for each course and the criteria used in admitting the candidates must be indicated on the print-outs.”
He attributed the decline in the quality of education and teacher training to poor funding and deteriorating learning environment, saying the Western Region did its best to put those conditions in place.
“Those days were great. Teachers in training had full scholarship, even a stipend of five pounds per month. We had free accommodation, free meals and in fact, free textbooks supplied by the Western Regional government under the government of Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi of blessed memory. He encouraged teachers and teacher training.
“At the end of Nigeria Certificate of Education (NCE) training, we could teach GCE Ordinary level to the top classes of secondary schools without any problem. Now, what is the matter? What is happening? Why is it so bad in education nowadays? NCE graduates at this time cannot defend their certificates. They indulge in destructive and meaningless protests,” Ojerinde said.
Provost of the Adeyemi College of Education, Professor Adeyemi Idowu, said examination malpractice was one of the factors working against quality education, expressing optimism that the five-year jail term recently stipulated against offenders would go a long way in reducing the menace at secondary and tertiary education levels.

JAMB’s CBT will reduce exam malpractice - Registrar
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Tuesday said that
the introduction of Computer-Based Test (CBT) in its examinations would
curb examination malpractice.
Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, JAMB’s Registrar, said this in Ondo at the first technical meeting of the board on 2013/2014 admission to Nigeria National Diploma and National Innovative Diploma awarding institutions.
The meeting took place at Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo.
Also JAMB has commenced the inspection of schools which would be used as CBT centres in the state.
Ojerinde said that CBT was also a way of making the candidates to be ICT-compliant.
He said that CBT would make the results of any examination conducted by JAMB to be ready within a week.
“We have gone digital in JAMB. What we are going to do now is to make use of computers and within a week, the results will be on the Internet.
“Unlike before when we were using the analogue style; the new scheme will stop malpractice,” he said.
Ojerinde, however, noted that everybody now wanted to go to the university to obtain degrees, adding: “Obtaining a degree is not the only way to make it to the top.
“We are encouraging as many people as possible to develop interest in technical education and entrepreneurial education,” he said.
Also speaking, Prof. Adeyemi Idowu, the Provost, Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo, lauded JAMB for devising strategies to curb examination malpractice through the introduction of CBT.
“The recent introduction of computer-based examination is one giant stride which I believe, as time goes on, will drastically reduce the spate of examination malpractice,” he added.
In his remark, Prof. Femi Mimiko, the Vice-Chancellor, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, said that the introduction of CBT by JAMB would make Nigerians to be ICT-compliant.
“Ojerinde’s tenure has brought about an uncommon transformation in JAMB; it gives hope that Nigeria has ability to transform itself,’’ he said. (NAN)
