In the news... Improved WASSCE 2016 Results.

After a nerve-wracking wait and much anticipation, Secondary schools across Nigeria have taken to social media platforms to celebrate and display exceptional WASSCE results. 


Following the news, Teacher Lola gathered that this year's WASSCE results are a major improvement on the depressing results of past years. According to www.nigeriatoday.ng, this year's results showcase "the remarkable improvement in the candidates’ performance in the two key subjects of English Language and Mathematics. A total of 878,040 candidates, amounting to 52.97 percent, obtained credits in five subjects and above, including English Language and Mathematics." The source also states that "1,544,234 candidates sat for the examination, out of which 1,167,484, representing 75.6 percent, obtained five credits and above. Another 1,282,204 (83.03 percent) obtained four (4) credits and above."

Schools who have berated and lambasted their teachers over poor results in the past should please take note and celebrate this milestone no matter how little the improvement is. If you cannot increase the pay packet kindly celebrate and encourage your teachers who worked hard to make this happen. A simple and sincere 'thank you!' will do. 

Kudos to all the teachers out there working tirelessly to educate Nigeria and give us a beautiful tomorrow.
