The first hurdle, which many secondary school leavers find
difficult to scale is the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The failure rate of students in this examination has soared in recent years, particularly since the JAMB introduced computer-based examination.
But the Mandate Private School (MPS) Chief Learning Officer, Akesan, Lagos, Rev. Sunday Attah, said this needs not be so.
He said as far back as 2008, MPS introduced the CBT and made e-learning compulsory from basic to SS3.
“I must quickly say that the reason for the failure of many students in the examination is their lack of exposure to computer from secondary schools. Expectedly, such students will lose self-confidence in the examination hall. Any student who is jittery in the examination hall as a result of his or her inability to operate computer will fail woefully,” he said.
