Kiyo: Commissioner for
Education, Akwa Ibom State, Mrs. Eunice Thomas, has said that nine pupils from
public primary schools in the state, who had distinctions in First School
Leaving Certificate examinations, were unable to write their names after a
further test was conducted on them.
Thomas
said the revelation was made when the governor, Mr. Godswill Akpabio, directed
all heads of schools to bring the best pupils from FSLC examination, one in
each of the 31 local government areas of the state, to a designated school,
where they were re-examined.
She
said, “We conducted a pre-test and say let’s introduce subjective questions,
and not objective questions that one person will stand in the exam hall and
just call out A or B to the candidates and they all will mark the correct
answer.
“At
the end, we realised that the child that scored 100 per cent could not score
five per cent”
Filo: The teachers are not
left out, Mrs Eunice also said “The state government conducted an Aptitude Test
using the same syllabus for the students to test the teachers; honestly 60 per
cent of the teachers were unable to pass the examination”
