THE CRY OF A UNIVERSITY LECTURER!!!
Dear secondary school teachers, school owners and PARENTS, 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 solve a simple problem on 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 certificate 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 allow them to prepare and write their examinations unaided.
Above all and especially to parents, DESIST from "miracle centres", stop mortgaging your children's future and life!
