WHEN the National Universities Commission complains about illegal universities what are we supposed to do? When it tells us thousands of unqualified students obtain university education, are we to mourn or applaud?
This is the kind of stupidity that is of most Nigerian educational policy. I can not see what problem this is that the university is doing what it supposed to do, serve students through any means. We know JAMB was setup only to deny and keep some parts of the nations suppressed relative to education. This cry by the NUC officer is regretable. What he should be about is whether such universities and providing good education and if government is doing enough to support their efforts. I think this Okogie man has lost his bearing as it concerns education. Where should those refused admission go to get it? If students can fail JAMB as still do good upon admission, then something is wrong with how jamb is measuring ability. Strict test outcome nolonger defines ability. The new generation today has many outlets and are not in the same world as their grandfathers were when this jamb was conceived. What I mean is that JAMB should do what SAT does in USA - suggest ability but not admission.
