According to the just released result for the 2011 examaination, only 10 percent out of the 110,724 candidates that sat for the examinations scored credit and above in the core subjects of English language, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Geography.
This was made known on Wednesday by NECO’s registrar, Professor Promise Okpala while releasing the results at the council headquarters in Minna, the Niger state capital.
Professor Okpala however noted that there was an improvement in the result recorded for Mathematics.
41 percent of the students scored credit, pass and above as compared to the 17 percent recorded in the same subject last year.
It is troubling that at a time when the nation is facing decay in its moral standard with the rise of militancy, despite religious dedication, only 5 percent scored credit, pass and above in Islamic studies while less than one percent scored credit pass and above in Christian religious studies.
Prof. Okpala also said there was a 50 percent drop in the candidates’ enrolment as only 104,187 candidates sat for NECO in 2011 as against 235, 933 that sat for it in 2010.
