Wow,the responses are certainly getting bigger and better.Does Alaka the initiator realise that the people who have thus far contributed are already doing diagnosis and at times without intent providing solutions(interiom and long term in nature).I implore Counsel Alaka documents the pieces and bits of info already coming in so that with further discussion these could be built into actionable solutions.That said, could some one describe in general terms the conditions under which the majority of the debate contributors passed( and very well) in the late 80s and 90s. In the same vain the prevailing conditions now under which no body is virtually passing.the areas to look at may include but not limited to:Teacher training,motivation and conditions of living(pay, housing etc).Student motivation,behaviour and determination.Availability/absence of text books, reading condtions eg lighting, space.Feeding conditions in schools.Involvement of parents in the academic progress of their children.Quality of intake(note UPE)Teacher/Head teacher rotation.D.E.Os involvementThe evolution of privately paid institutions right from University Vis a vis the financial affluence of fees payers(you and I inclisive)etcetc.After such and more analysis we can find some of the problems by elimination method.Its 6.42 pm av to leave office.
