A Crisis: NECTA 2010 Form IV Results

This simple graph tells the shocking story of the countrywide O Level (Form IV) examination results for 2010 which were recently announced. Half of the students obtained division zero; this number rising to almost 89% as the total in "non-pass" grade. The passing grades (Divisions I to III) are merely 11.41%. Certainly "Is Our Children Learning" is no longer the question here (see 2 previous postings). Question is, what are we doing about it?

This is a 3 way problem.lack of facilities which has been a result of corruption,student determination and lack of enough teachers.

Nathan, so what did we learn from this "shocking" story of 2011? Well, we got more shock in 2013! But what astounded me is the creative manner in which the standards were modified after the fact to increase the passing rate. Is that the best we can do?
