THE FUTURE OF UNDERGRADUATES IN NIGERIA

 It is the dream of every student to proceed immediately to higher institution right after secondary education. However, most students dream doesn’t come true as they wish because the educational system in the country is deteriorating by the second.In this era of advanced technologies, we have so many brilliant students who graduate out of secondary school with extra-ordinary results, even in their JAMB exams but they are not always given the opportunity to experience the other side of education. Most times, it’s the people who occupy higher positions in the nation or in the school that manipulate students result. They sell out the best results of outstanding students to people who probably didn’t take the exam at all. There are times where you have your subjects wrongly recorded and when you make an attempt to seek correction, they simply IGNORE your complaints.This happened to my elder brother last year. We both took JAMB exams and when the results were released, I checked mine and I was pleased. However, when my dear brother checked his, his realized they had recorded the wrong subjects for him. Note that he applied for Science courses and took science subjects in the examination, but he realized that the subjects that were recorded for him were strictly Art subjects and Art courses. He contacted JAMB via E-mail and a letter but he got no response. He had to take the exam again this year. Basically all this drama could be curbed and things could get better, and brilliant students can get their deserved admission if the authorities will do the right thing by avoiding bribe, manipulating innocent students’ results and giving admission to students who truly deserve it regardless of their modernity or background whether rich or poor. It truly hurts to see a really brilliant student with all A’s in SSCE sit back at home for years all because he cant gain admission into higher institution due to illegal processes going on in schools. EDUCATION IS FREEDOM
