I READ THIS NEWS NOW IN 247NIGERIANSNEWS UPDATE CAN'T BELIEVE GOMBE STUDENTS ARE SO POOR



Prof. Ango Abdullahi, the Chairman of the governing council of the Bauchi State University had a shock of his life when he paid a visit to the management of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, in Abuja, last week.

He was briefed that only 17 out of 18,000 students that sat for WAEC and NECO in Gombe state, passed the examination.
…
Abdullahi said, “I sat with the governor and we were really belly-aching about the state of secondary education and he confessed to me that they forwarded 18,000 students for NECO and WAEC examinations but only 17 got university (admission) qualification.”

The news is not different from the pass rate in the same examination for Yobe, Bauchi and Borno state students. Some scholars attributed this high failure rate to the scarcity of qualified teachers and poor condition of learning.
