JACE which monitors
educational issues in Nigeria, is a body of civil organizations drawing
membership from NGOs, professional bodies and pressure groups across Nigeria. Speaking
during a press briefing at Ogba, its South West Zonal Coordinator, Mr. Ayokunle
Adumashin, said, “With the reports that some candidates slated to write their
examination on the first Saturday of the UTME but failed to do so due to some
technical reasons, we shall prevail on JAMB for their resit.”
He said that after JACE
monitored 75 per cent of the 624 designated examination centres across the
country, it discovered that candidates were technophobia in their usage of
computer to write examination. While some students were calling for reversal to
paper pencil test examination during last Saturday’s examination due to system
failures, JACE stated that the suggestion will not help the country in the
comity of nations Adumashin said:
“Secondary schools should
rather improve on exposing students to ICT so that the country can get to a
stage where candidates do not experience cyberphobia or fear of computer or
technology. Parents must on their part spare no efforts to ensure they have
familiarized their children with contemporary technology and trends before they
complete secondary school.”
