At the Excellence Hotel and Conference Centre in Lagos,
Nigeria, the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) and the West African
Examinations Council (WAEC), reached some conclusions about what they want to
be done to improve exam results and education in general in Nigeria, and
overall raise the standard of education in their country. The members, made up
of representatives of State Ministries of Education, the All Nigeria
Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), different universities,
the Registrar to Council, the Head of the Nigeria National Office, the Head of
the Test Development Division (TDD) and the Head of the Test Administration
Division (TAD) of the Council, decided the following things from a variety of
sources and reports:
• That there is a paucity of teaching staff in schools, so
an improvement in the reward system for teachers is need to motivate them, so
they can work at their best.
• That the government needs to set in motion some measures,
such as offering special incentives, to motivate students and attract them to
education-based courses in university, like math.
• That the government also need to put in more effort to
provide adequate infrastructure, manpower, and teaching aids to make proper
teaching and learning possible, and to help prepare students well for the WAEC
examinations.
• That state governments and private schools alike need to
install metal detectors in their schools to make sure that mobile devices are
not brought secretly into examination halls.
The Chief Examiners’ Reports have actually shown
improvement in quality of exam papers, though students are still weak in the
areas of spelling technical words, the English language, handwriting, making
graphs and diagrams, and answering questions deeply and accurately, especially
in maths.
I have some basic prior knowledge (before reading the article) of what Nigeria's state is right now, and that has helped me understand this situation more. Nigeria has been deemed one of the most corrupt countries in the world several times now, and that's possibly why these committees want government support, because they aren't really currently getting much, or any. It's also more difficult to prevent cheating in an environment such as that, which is why they want schools to install metal detectors. I think it's great that these people are trying to improve conditions for the students, because they are the future, and if they aren't given opportunities, then they may continue in an endless and vicious cycle. I think the US can also benefit from some of these goals, such as trying to motivate teachers more, and providing more adequate infrastructure and aids, and Booker T. already has metal detectors, even though people don't really pay a lot of attention to them. In fact, all countries can benefit, because the same idea of the futures of students and children applies globally.

The
Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) of the West African Examinations

just as it also called on state governments and proprietors of private
