WAEC blacklists 113 schools over exams fraud
By GABRIEL DIKE
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has withdrawn recognition for 113 secondary schools nationwide, as punishment for examination malpractices. Also, results of 30, 654 candidates, who sat for the May/June 2012 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) have been cancelled. According to Saturday Sun findings, WAEC has also cancelled individual subject results of 83, 745 candidates, released the results of 1, 549 and barred for two years 3, 321 candidates from sitting for the council examination over misconduct during the school exam, in line with the rules and regulations guiding the conduct of the examination.
The cancelled results were among the 112, 000 results of candidates withheld for their involvement in examination malpractice out of 1, 695, 878 candidates that sat for the May/June 2012 WASSCE. Only 38.81 per cent (649, 156) of the total candidates that sat for the May/June 2012 WASSCE obtained five credits in English Language, Mathematics and three other subjects, thus were qualified for admissions into universities and polytechnics.
The Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) of the council took the far-reaching decisions in Lagos after it deliberated on evidences (exhibits) produced by the council, which were seized from some candidates involved in examination malpractice. Other decisions taken by NEC include recommendation for sanctions against 97 supervisors/principals/other examination personnel identified and reported to their various state ministries of education, while 21 supervisors also indicted were blacklisted.
The WAEC committee also recommended that 465 secondary schools be warned for aiding and abetting examination malpractice during the 2012 May/June WASSCE, granted clemency to eight candidates even as the certificates of 12 others were withdrawn after they asked for restitution. The NEC, which was chaired by the Director of Basic and Secondary Education), Ministry of Education, Abuja, directed that the allegations against 930 candidates be further investigated, while their results are withheld.
Also, the council withdrew the recognition of six schools and commended one staff. A breakdown of schools sanctioned nationwide revealed that majority came from the South-South, followed by those from the North, South East and South West. Government-owned schools top the list of those involved in exam fraud. The NEC recommendation shows that recognition for 21 schools were withdrawn for two years. Also, recognition for 43 others were withdrawn, along side the principals of the schools.
Saturday Sun learnt that the council has communicated the decisions of NEC to the state ministries of education, which is expected to take action against the schools and principals indicted by WAEC.

Governor Fayose is really a blessing to Ekiti state. He deserves the honor, but he should stay thirsty for more advancement of that state.

While I thank those that did well in the just released WASC examinations, I must point out that all 5 Igbo States made the top 10 and 8 out of the top 10 are from Eastern Nigeria. Ekiti came first for core Yoruba states at the 11th position. Kudos to the performing Governor Fayose. But where does all this lead to in Nigeria. Right now we have a President without WASC from Kastina which is number 33 on the list. Supreme court Justice from Gombe at 34. Vice President from Osun 29th position and so on.

Old students lift school with new learning facilities
Pupils and members of staff of the Methodist High School, Ilesa, Osun State, were left in awe last Saturday when old students of the school presented facilities and infrastructure worth N35m to their alma mater.
The presentation was the highlight of events to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the school’s establishment.
Joy was clearly written on the face of the principal, Mr. Daramola Oluwole, as dignitaries arrived the premises of the school to inaugurate the newly refurbished six blocks of building consisting 37 classrooms, school hall, principal’s office and the main gate now housing a security post.
The historic occasion was made more colourful by the presence of some prominent Nigerians, which included the Owa Obokun, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran II and the state’s Deputy Governor of the State of Osun, Otunba (Mrs.)Titi Laoye-Tomori.
Before the intervention, many of the classrooms in the school had almost completely collapsed, making learning for pupils a Herculean task. According to Oluwole, many of the pupils had been sent home because of leaking roof on a few occasions.
“If you had visited this school before it was fixed by the old pupils, you never could have believed what your eyes would see. Learning was very difficult for the pupils and even teachers found it hard to discharge their duties in classrooms with almost no roof.
“But the new look of the entire school has brought renewed energy into not just the pupils but the teachers who are willing to give the best of their abilities,” he said.
The rebuilt blocks of classrooms were fitted with new doors, windows, ceilings, roof and were also given a new painting.
According to the President of the Old Students Association, Mr. Dideolu Falobi, the entire project which was fully funded by the alumni of the institution, cost about N35m.
He said it was their own way of giving back to the school that laid the foundation for the success many of them now enjoy today.
“For many of us, this is where it all started. The Methodist High School, Ilesa, is where we were put on the right track as young boys and girls and prepared for the journey ahead.
“We thought of many things to do for the school but we realised that nothing would count more than rebuilding the learning environment itself because we found out that no meaningful academic exercise can take place under such place.
“The future of the present crop of pupils of the school means a lot to us including those that would still pass through this institution and that is why we have tasked ourselves even in this difficult period of cash crunch to also lay the foundation for many generations to come. We are extremely proud of this,” he said.
Speaking at the event, a former student and current Vice-Chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, Prof. Bamitale Omole, said the day marked the beginning of a new and prosperous era for the school. Apart from having the potential to improve the academic performance of pupils, he said the new infrastructure would also provide an atmosphere conducive for quality mental development.
While commending the efforts of the old students in transforming the school, Laoye-Tomori pledged government’s support for the education sector in the state.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Ola, Joe Attueyi:Let me second Joe Attueyi's ideas, and outline them as follows:1. An educational emergency should be declared in the ENTIRE country.2. In the PRIMARY school, the MINIMUM number of different subjects should be taught and no more:(a) English (writing, reading, comprehension, speaking)(b) Arithmetic(c) one native language (spoken)(d) Social Studies (Civics, History, Geography)(e) Hygiene and Nature Studies, with a strong experimental science bent (f) etc(f) Graduates without jobs should be heavily recruited such that the 20:1 ratio (or so) per class is achieved.(g) Public primary school should be FREE to all.etc,3. In the SECONDARY school:(a) strong emphasis on Scientific Education (Problem-solving) and teamwork, with emphasis too on Science education.(b) all NGOs and other PROPRIETORS that want their schools back should be given them back.(c) all Alumni and private companies should be encouraged to ADOPT-A-SCHOOL.(d) all others can be retained for LOCAL GOVERNMENT control, and a few as STATE secondary schools.(e) Education to JSS 3 should be free, with ALL students mandatorily CERTIFIED in one WORK-SKILL or other, otherwise no graduation.(f) In SSS, parents should be urged to pay one-third of the fees, with students certified EITHER in a DIFFERENT skillfrom their JSS one, or in a HIGHER CERTIFICATION in the same skill with which they graduated in JSS.(8) Tertiary education slots should be GUARANTEED to at least 70% of SSS graduates.etc.4. In the UNIVERSITY(a) all universities (old and new) must show a plan of having NO LESS than 50 - 1000,000 undergraduate students total within a 10-year period, otherwise they won't be approved (if to be newly established) or their continuation (if old) is threatened.(b) school fees should be charged, but scholarships, grants and loans should be offered.(c) enforcement of 60-40 or even 70-30 STEM-nonSTEM course (STEM- Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)(d) two-year NYSC, followed by post-NYSC disbursement of a Special Enterpreneurship Fund for New Graduates.etc,Other ideas are welcome.
And there you have it.Bolaji Aluko
PS: I remind everyone about my Education Template. We have ALWAYS to address each of these eleven items below HOLISTICALLY at each level of education:- students- academic staff- non-academic staff- curriculum- teaching and learning facilities- living and recreational facilities- finances- governance structures- community relations- standards, quality control, examinations and accreditation- post-graduation opportunitiesOn Sat, Feb 6, 2016 at 9:41 AM, 'Joe Attueyi' via AfricanWorldForum <africanw...@googlegroups.com> wrote:Dr Kassim,In fairness to the students of Osun state, less than 30% of them got 'opon Imo'. It was an opportunity to award a contract to the governor's son. And pay 'mobilization ' to the pay-per-post vuvuzulas who went about praising it as the next best thing after sliced bread. There is nothing you wrote below that was not apparent before the fact to any student of public policyIn addition to yours below, one thing that has worked is the return of confiscated schools to their previous owners/ old students association. Just imagine that St Charles is returned to its previous proprietors. It's old students like Ayo will rally round to return old school to its old glory. This will not only relieve the state of some of its burden but will indirectly tax some of the citizens to give back to society through rebuilding their alma materSince Gregs was handed back to the Catholic mission, the old boys have spent in excess of N100 Million revamping its infrastructure and standards. States should borrow successful ideas from each otherYou wrote:The most marginalized zones in Nigeria are the NW, NC and the NE. These zones need a "Marshall Plan"in the form of additional socio-economic stimuli or else they would continue to deter the socio-economic progress in the restof Nigeria.My own suggestion is a 'marshal plan' for education nationally. Free , compulsory , quality education for every Nigerian child up to at least JS3. Compulsory in the sense that if your child is found begging or selling akara or not in school it will be a crime committed by the parent or guardianIf we have to tax fuel N10 per liter and tax every house higher than a bungalow and tax every car bigger than 1.2 liter engine and put 100% levy on private jets etc to fund it so be it. In one generation we will drastically reduce illiteracy. And who knows, may produce our own Bill Gates etcJoe"Only 646 candidates from the 14, 784 that wrote the exam in Yobe got five credits and above the thereby coming last with 4.27 per cent. Northern states occupied the rear positions with nine northern states in the last ten positions. They are Adamawa, Osun, Sokoto, Bauchi, Kebbi, Katsina, Gombe, Jigawa, Zamfara and Yobe. Lagos with 68, 173 out of 141, 963 candidates that sat for the examination placed sixth on the rankings."Analysis of 2015 WAEC resultsPastor Joe and Vin:
I was just going to make the same comments on Opon Imo.It appears that the hundreds millions of Naira spent on opon imohave not yielded the expected results.
It is unwise to depend too heavily on digital educationin an environment in which electricity supply isin adequate and irregular. Chalk and blackboard,paper textbooks and exercise books still have their places in modern education,
The best value adding investments in education are the following:
a) ensure the children are well nourished no matter the socio-economic statusof their parents before going to school and during school hours.
b) provide conducive environment for education with well maintained and weather protectedclass rooms as it is difficult to achieve excellence in education when the children/students have to takemost of their classes outdoors protected only by shade of the trees or in ramshackleclassrooms with thatched roofs.
c) train and employ ONLY well qualified and well trained teachers in adequate numbers and ensure that their remunerationsare commensurate with their training and their jobs and that such remunerations are paid when due.
It is quite possible that the a more detailed analysis of the WAEC results would confirm the following:
1) students from private secondary schools would have done much better n aggregate than children frompublic schools.
2) the higher the socio-economic status and the level of education attained by the parents, the higher the performanceof the students in WAEC and vice versa
The results of the WAEC exams mirror the socio-economic development status of different regionsof Nigeria as they are inversely proportional to the poverty rates in across Nigeria.Northern Nigerian states have the highest poverty rates in the country. Not surprisingly they also havethe worst results in the WAEC exams.
The journalist who analyzed the 2015 WAEC results would probably not have scored that highly in Geography orCivics as I noticed that he has shifted Osun state to the Northern Nigeria:)
The year in year out WAEC results constitute an indirect measure of the state of the nation in Nigeria and howthe citizens in her component states and zones are fairing socioeconomically now and how well or badly they would perform in the future.
The most marginalized zones in Nigeria are the NW, NC and the NE. These zones need a "Marshall Plan"in the form of additional socio-economic stimuli or else they would continue to deter the socio-economic progress in the restof Nigeria.

Here is an example below of how ALUMNI can change the face of their SECONDARY SCHOOL - Methodist High School, Ilesa:
If the state or federal government were to institute an an annual revolving multi-billion-naira ALUMNI-MATCHING FUND - one-third to be spent in secondary schools, and two-thirds in universities - whereby for every one-naira spent by alumni, the federal government would add one- or two-naira until all the funds are EXHAUSTED in a given year, you will see many alumni fall over themselves to chip in.
And there you would have it.

Old students lift school with new learning facilities
AUTHOREric DumoFebruary 6, 2016
Pupils and members of staff of the Methodist High School, Ilesa, Osun State, were left in awe last Saturday when old students of the school presented facilities and infrastructure worth N35m to their alma mater.The presentation was the highlight of events to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the school’s establishment.Joy was clearly written on the face of the principal, Mr. Daramola Oluwole, as dignitaries arrived the premises of the school to inaugurate the newly refurbished six blocks of building consisting 37 classrooms, school hall, principal’s office and the main gate now housing a security post.The historic occasion was made more colourful by the presence of some prominent Nigerians, which included the Owa Obokun, Oba Gabriel Adekunle Aromolaran II and the state’s Deputy Governor of the State of Osun, Otunba (Mrs.)Titi Laoye-Tomori.Before the intervention, many of the classrooms in the school had almost completely collapsed, making learning for pupils a Herculean task. According to Oluwole, many of the pupils had been sent home because of leaking roof on a few occasions.“If you had visited this school before it was fixed by the old pupils, you never could have believed what your eyes would see. Learning was very difficult for the pupils and even teachers found it hard to discharge their duties in classrooms with almost no roof.“But the new look of the entire school has brought renewed energy into not just the pupils but the teachers who are willing to give the best of their abilities,” he said.The rebuilt blocks of classrooms were fitted with new doors, windows, ceilings, roof and were also given a new painting.According to the President of the Old Students Association, Mr. Dideolu Falobi, the entire project which was fully funded by the alumni of the institution, cost about N35m.He said it was their own way of giving back to the school that laid the foundation for the success many of them now enjoy today.“For many of us, this is where it all started. The Methodist High School, Ilesa, is where we were put on the right track as young boys and girls and prepared for the journey ahead.“We thought of many things to do for the school but we realised that nothing would count more than rebuilding the learning environment itself because we found out that no meaningful academic exercise can take place under such place.“The future of the present crop of pupils of the school means a lot to us including those that would still pass through this institution and that is why we have tasked ourselves even in this difficult period of cash crunch to also lay the foundation for many generations to come. We are extremely proud of this,” he said.Speaking at the event, a former student and current Vice-Chancellor of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State, Prof. Bamitale Omole, said the day marked the beginning of a new and prosperous era for the school. Apart from having the potential to improve the academic performance of pupils, he said the new infrastructure would also provide an atmosphere conducive for quality mental development.While commending the efforts of the old students in transforming the school, Laoye-Tomori pledged government’s support for the education sector in the state.___________________________________________________________________________________
