"THE CRY OF A UNIVERSITY LECTURER!!!

Dear secondary school teachers and school owners, please, help the students and the public by ensuring that students in your school write examinations by themselves and merit the grades they brandish on their SSCE results.

We are tired of seeing students with A1 in Mathematics but cannot resolve the smallest of fraction. A student with distinctions in Physics and chemistry but knows next to nothing about chemical reactions or energy conversion.

I had to ask some year 1 students to look for a tutorial teacher to help them with JS 3 and SS1 mathematics yesterday. The whole 16 of them in my Engineering class with excellent SSCE results are visibly confused at the sight of any arithmetic work. Their last semester performance betrayed the several A1s and B3s on the WAEC they carry about.

These students you help to acquire grades they can't defend are usually frustrated in the ivory tower. Save them a voyage of pain and regrets in the future by ensuring they are well tutored and allowed to prepare and write their examinations unaided."

Actually, no amount of intervention can help a University Engineering student who cannot solve SS3 Mathematics. He will just grope through school and get withdrawn, ultimately. I would rather counsel such a soul to retake Jamb and choose a biological science course while going for extra mural school to learn basic Maths, Chemistry and Physics.
It is a very unfortunate situation, I must confess. We can't afford to have Engineers who would waste lives for trying to put together a system that is bound to fail on the altar of incompetence.

Chaii

Please sir, do what is right.


If they dont deserve to be engineering students then let them go; before they start killing people.

I agree with you

He should let them go ba?
He said sixteen of them are failures!
If he score all of them zeros, which they deserve and the result is posted on this forum, I am very sure you will be one of the numerous people that will shout "stupid, sadist Lecturer"!
