Parents and teachers.

Most teachers teach for the money to survive not for the passion

The schools gives good grades to students so that the parents wouldn't withdraw there wards from the school

You can not discipline children due to the reactions of parents.

Teachers no longer care about students welfare

students are to be blamed.
During my time, I didn't attend any extra jamb lessons unlike now.
I studied on my own. I used my money to buy past questions papers to study.

Unlike now, when All they do is social media. From chatting on WhatsApp, viewing status to TikTok. Etc

Some valid points here but you need to understand that even if you teach with all the passion in the world, a student who is destined to fail will FAIL!

If you open head pour books inside am, e no gaurantee pass.

You never see person wey do open book exams still fail woefully?!

Of course the student and the teachers.
The parents should be left out of this.




How many teachers today can sit and write jamb with distinctions?

Have you been to these extra jamb tutorial classes, very promiscuous settings

Obviously Parents first, followed by the teachers.

blame the north. Na them get that huge percentage

theredaddy:



Are you seriously kidding, No be the same jamb we write, in my time if you score below 230 sef you go sober, i had 264 then .. my papa no even smile gimme

The truth is education as lost its value, if you eavesdrop on teenage boiz conversations naa Yahoo dem dey discuss while the gurlz know all the tik tok skits & influencers

Trends as killed educative drive, moreover we have the worst generation of parents, all dey do is chase money return home n give there phones to kids to play games or watch tik tok ... zero parenting.


i don't really blame the teachers, the salary is not encouraging and the Parents are not cooperating, ... in our time your parent go even come school tell teachers make dem beat yu well well ... say you no wash plate yesterday chia! we really suffer

As long as your 260 was based on your effort and not cheating, otherwise you'd be a hypocrite to condemn these kids.

Regardless, if 95% of students couldn't score above 250, it's a reflection of the current educational system and the calibre of questions set this year... These are facts.

Not an excuse. This is internet age, you have info at your finger tips even if your class teacher is a dullard

I blame davido, bunner boy, tiwa Savage, tik tok portable and kpekus.

Then what's the need for a classroom?

The teachers shouldn't be blamed. Who's gonna teach with passion when being paid 30k, 40k per month ?
It's cos there are no jobs that's why most people are going into teaching

I blame the students.

My mum was nearly 50 when she wrote JAMB and GSCE without any lesson. She has not been in school since the 70s. She passed the GSCE with 3Bs and 5Cs

She scored 253 in JAMB with only 3 months to read. This is someone soon to retire. While she did say that JAMB is a useless exam, if you are diligent, look for the right information and
apply yourself.


I think that student are getting dumber with each generation. They also have less motivation to succeed and while I don't blame them, I blame their circumstances.

That percentage is wrong, i wonder why they keep using it everywhere. Even jamb self failed simple percentage calculation.

THANKS FOR THE OBSERVATION, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR 200 AND ABOVE TO BE 24%, BELOW 200 76%, THAT'S ALREADY 100%THEN WE STILL HAVE 2.4% AND 0.5%

JUST PICK THE NUMBER FOR EACH CATEGORY, DIVIDE BY THE TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT SAT FOR THE EXAMINATION AND MULTIPLY BY 100

Brr na true u talk

Last term I happen to teach in a secondary school near barracks, so they have some soldier children as their student.

I teaches mathematics junior classes in this school.
There was a boy in jss1 that I flogged, after flogging the boy the next thing the boy said was master ‘sheybi u Dey come barracks na’ meaning he will report me to his father and d man will beat me cos I use to go to the barracks to play ball.

its sad, and the useless father will willingly do the bidding of his child.

I was always in the o.5 percent...mehn during my time I read no be small

Parents are to be blamed.

Let me not start to talk.

Some Parents don't even know which class their children are in school.

Student... Gen Zs doesn't read...

TIKTOK

24% apart from being too low, shows that your idea of percentages is very poor. Now out of that 24%, only 4.5% got above 250, which should be the upper average limit. Altogether, 95.5% scored less than 250 out of 400!

If that doesn't tell you it's a systemic problem, then you have a narrow view of society.

I normally don't make comments on here but I just had to say that you're spot on!

Imagine the average candidate from an average Nigerian home, they'll pay 100k for registration, another 100k for materials, past questions, tutoring centers, e.t.c. And that doesn't even include the intense care that needs to go into their prep for them to have a "useful" score. And there's still the problem of some of them having to locate their center depending on the time they're to write. (For context, when I wrote JAMB, my center was in a completely different area of town and I had to get there by 8am in the morning.) And all this doesn't even take into account the culture of Unseriousness that is being spread in the average Nigerian education institution which only a few candidates are seemingly immune from.

Taking all these factors into account, it's easy to see how these low scores are a symptom of the rot in our society in general rather than the fault of the candidates. But most Nigerians just LOVE victim blaming so much that they're blind to the wider issues.

Once again, you're totally right man.

THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES!HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF THEM THAT HAS BEEN SERIOUS IN THEIR STUDIES?ALL AVENUES TO CHEAT IN EXAMS ARE ALSO BLOCKED!

their calculation is correct, somebody pointed it out to me and I had to check again. The 200 above also covers the 250 above and 300 above. Same for the 250 above.

I don't think teachers should be totally blamed Sha.. you can take a horse to the river but can't force it to drink.. there's an extent to which a teacher can help..
Even in my time, my teachers were just there too.. public school palava but I still did well,it's personal. When you know what you want you motivate yourself, many books here and there to read. My sister attends the same school and wrote this concluded jamb and did very well few marks to 300 sef.. the point is the child's factor matters too. We all went to public schools and did well. I've had friends in expensive schools with extra lessons and all who didn't do as well. I've also been a teacher briefly before during the strike, some children are just... I don't know how to describe them..like they have no interest in studies and see you as a devil trying to make them realize..they prefer other things like money, social media etc it's well sha

Social media to be blame, most of these pupils and children now are now devoting their precious time to Tiktok, snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook e.t.c and their parent who re to correct them are also in support due to coins and money being made not knowing that the law can ban any of those app at any point in time..

Parent are mostly to be blame for this cuz they are the primary teacher of their children and not the teacher that's why I can't settle for the less

Parents are to be blamed. The students spend more time with them and they don't evaluate the progress of their wards, academically.

Both Parents and the Students. Parents got no time for their wards this days while the Students have chosen to Tiktok all day and night rather to read

santaclaws:
The ministry of education is to blame. As funny as this sounds, let me break it down:

Most JAMB questions are based on A-level curriculum and for students to pass convincingly, they must read thoroughly, much beyond the scope of O'level syllabus covered in secondary schools. In the UK, students are meant to attend 6th form college where A-level courses are taught, thus preparing them for A-level exams and further studies.

We have an exam that is too advanced for most school leavers, but because the majority of students who pass have always depended on EXPO, we refused to talk about it.

Instead of the FG to have students stay at home up till 18, maybe we should add A-level colleges to the academic system so that students can either chose to write JAMB upon finishing secondary school or enter through A-level/Direct entry into 200 level.

Were they not given syllabus. Students of nowadays are more concerned on what's on Tiktok than what's on their book

Bro, i wrote jamb at the time you go to afribank to collect big brown envelope with brochure inside ... no miracle centres

the educational deterioration is directly proportionate to the rising of social media & trends .... 1st prize for cowbell maths competition no reach 500k buh people celebrate & donate millions to "mummy calm down"

Oga nothing is wrong with the examiner questions, what we have are just failed couples parenting unserious kids in a failed country

In your area, try observe the teenagers nd what they spend there time doing .. you will see why the educational system is on free fall.

The entire system has collapsed.

How do you expect an 18year old to focus on education, when another ss3 student wey dey HK don dey drive spider or Lexus🤣🤣🤣.

Looking at the political leaders, Church don dismiss for that area..🤣🤣
