The Commissioner for Education, Akwa Ibom State, Mrs. Eunice Thomas, has
said that nine pupils from the state public primary schools who had distinctions in First School Leaving Certificate examinations, were not able to write their names following a later test conducted on them.
“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 shape or tick the correct answer.
“At the end you realise that the child that scores 100 per cent cannot if tested properly score 5 per cent.
“We sent them to school – honestly, out of this number sent, nine were unable to write their names, while many others besides the nine could not score up to 5 per cent in the test,” she said.
In my opinion, their teachers need to be re-examined too.
