Reps summon JAMB boss over mass failure
The Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation
Examination (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde is to face the House of
Representatives over student’s mass failure in the last Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Chairman, House Committee on Education, Aminu Suleiman (PDP, Kano)
said the invitation was as result of barrage of complaints that flooded
the Committee from across the country.
He said: “We heard that JAMB authorities had formally explained
some reasons for the mass failure, this is not enough if the content of
the complaints of Nigerians is anything to go by.
“One of the complaints was that concerning the usage of computer
for the exam that most of them have never had contact with computer
before or that they only learnt the theory without the practical usage
of computers.
“It can be recalled that the House passed a resolution asking JAMB
not to use computer for the 2013 exams and they said they would make nit
optional; but there were still complaints by Nigerians that some
students filled the manual or paper option only to find themselves being
asked to write the exams using computers”.
Saying that the mass failure could be as a result of the
introduction of computers for the examinations, the Chairman noted that
most students, especially those in the rural areas are not
computer-literate enough .
“The committee have no option that to act accordingly to work
towards finding lasting solutions to the perennial failures of Nigerian
students,” he said.http://so maxim muzik ent/new/news-update/reps-summon-jamb-boss-over-mass-failure/
