JAMB Rejects Recommendation To Extend Result Validity
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB has rejected the Nigerian Senate’s suggestion to extend the validity of results to three years. A lot of JAMB candidates and Nigerians were excited to hear this news when it broke. JAMB unfortunately, has kicked against this recommendation, saying it it will distort and delay the future of students across the country if enacted.
JAMB Rejects Senate’s Recommendation To Extend Result Validity To 3 Years
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, made this known in Abuja during the opening ceremony of JAMB-UNEB Benchmark on Item Banking.
According to the Registrar, such a policy would obstruct the education progress of students across board.
He said, “There are complexities in this thing, until we are able to clear it. When you say you will use JAMB results for three years, is it an achievement test or aptitude test? However, are we delaying his or her life? Are we postponing his or her life by telling them to stay at home? If by next year he doesn’t get the cut off points, what happens?
“I have nothing against the idea, because we will tell the children, ‘those bluffing Polytechnics and College of Education, go there and waste their time’, if it is a waste of time.”
The Nigerian Senate, had on Tuesday, mandated its committee on Education to invite the leadership of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) over its controversial admission policy.
