Read this and ponder.
JAMB has submitted the official statistics for the results of just concluded exams.
According to the statistics; a total of 1,955,069 students results have been marked and confirmed, with over 75% of the candidates scoring below 200. While only 0.63%(12,414) scored 300 and above.
Of the total number of candidates that wrote; 40,247(about 2%) were underage writing to show exceptional abilities; only 0.12%(467) scored above 300.
This data does not include those that were caught in different forms of malpractice, those that were marked as absent due to different circumstances. However the data takes into account 90% of the candidates that successfully registered for the 2025 examination.
Therefore, a number of assumptions can be made based on this statistics.
I would be pleased if we could get a stat on the average score per state as well as average score per age grade. This would help to properly assess the issue of low scores and mass failure.
Some causes I can iterate;
Lack of proper lesson centers
More computer illiterates than literates among candidate
Distractions on the side of students
Incapable teachers in schools etc.
On my next post I will expand on these causes I have listed.
For now, let's know in the comments section, will you be in the 0.63% or 75% or the remaining 24% who scored above 200?
DICHIAMAKA.
