NAPS Calls for Urgent Reform in Education System Amidst Alarming JAMB Results





We bring to you solidarity greetings from the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) which is the umbrella body of Nigerian Students studying in Polytechnics, Monotechnics, Colleges of Technology and other allied institutions awarding National and Higher National Diploma certificate respectively, both at home and in diaspora.


National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) is deeply concerned about the recent JAMB results, which revealed that a staggering 1.5 million students scored below 200 out of 1.9 million candidates. This damning statistic raises serious questions about the quality of education our students are receiving and whether our schools are equipping them with the necessary skills to succeed.


The implications of this result are far-reaching, and it's not just a matter of numbers; it's about the future of our students. The system seems to be failing them, and radical reforms are necessary. NAPS believes that the current approach to education, which focuses on rote learning, is inadequate and needs to be rethought.


Furthermore, NAPS notes that the unfamiliarity of JAMB questions contributes significantly to the high failure rate. We urge JAMB to review its question-setting process to ensure that students are not disadvantaged by unfamiliar questions.


NAPS demands that stakeholders come together to find solutions to this pressing issue. The status quo is unacceptable, and change is long overdue. We call on the government, educators, and relevant authorities to:


- Revamp the education system to focus on holistic development

- Review JAMB's question-setting process

- Provide necessary skills and support for students to succeed


The future of our students demands better. NAPS is committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure that our education system produces competent and skilled graduates.


*Signed*


Comr Usman Ibrahimnyass Dende,

Vice President National Affairs, 

National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS).
