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.
