JAMB: NUT calls 120 cut-off mark a disgrace, speaks on N-Power recruitment

NUT National President, Michael Olukoya Alogba, who made the remarks

in an address to mark this year's World Teachers Day, said the policy

could lower the standard of education in the country.

"We are not unaware of the public debate concerning the reduction of

the cut-off marks of the UTME for admission into universities to a

ridiculous 120 instead of the 180 minimum standard earlier used", he

said.

"The 120 cut-off mark implies 30%, a percentage that is not in

conformity with merit pass in any examination.

"We are not equally unaware of the age long cry over falling standard

of education in Nigeria, of which the blame is always contemptuously

put at the door steps of the teacher

"Against this backdrop, the NUT wishes to express its reservations to

this policy of admission into Nigerian universities and urge the

federal ministry of education and other relevant agencies to review

the policy for the improvement of the standard of education in

Nigeria".

Alogba also stated that the union was opposed to the recruitment of

non-teachers under the N-power scheme.

His words: "The recruitment of non- graduates constitutes a huge

contradiction to the laudable efforts being made by the federal

government through the Teachers Registration Council in ensuring

professionalism in teaching to rid the school system of

non-professionals and quack teachers"

Meanwhile, Nigerian Senate has urged the Federal Ministry of Education

to totally scrap post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination

(UTME).

This followed the adoption of a motion sponsored by Umaru Kurfi,

during its session on Tuesday.

Senate also urged JAMB to initiate a strategy to ensure the efficiency

and integrity in the conduct of the pre-university examination.

The lawmakers lamented that the introduction of the post-UME

examination has to a large extent, failed to remedy the problems

associated with JAMB and as such, its continuous existence has posed

more challenges for the Nigerian educational system.
