FALLING EDUCATION STANDARDS IN LAGOS STATE

Dear Sir,

As a concerned citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and resident of Lagos State, I find it really worrisome how badly the standard of education has fallen in Lagos State.

In previous years, there used to be a higher standard of education as teachers took their jobs seriously because they had the backing of the government and the students, by extension, were raised to a high standard. WAEC results in Lagos State used to be one of the best in Nigeria but that has become a thing of the past as 3xaminatioj malpractice is rife, and even at that, the results have gotten worse.

I would like to suggest that the government go back to the drawing board and hold a meeting with stakeholders on how to tackle this hydra-headed monster of examination malpractice and educational decay.

Students that perform well academically should be used as examples, malpractice should be shunned in its entirety, and teachers need to be held to a higher level of accountability.

Yours sincerely,

Ifeanyi Okafor

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
