This is the words coming out from the mouth of PROFESSOR Samuel Ogheneovo Asagba. He was interview by the thepointernewsonline.com journalist. Here is the excerpt.
What is your view on whether the Post UTME should stay or be cancelled?
Post UME should remain, it has improved the academic standard of students. Before now, the Joint Admission Matriculation Board, was covering the whole country and it was difficult for them to really supervise the examination properly. And you could see that there were a lot of impersonation when people come as mercenaries to write for other people and get high scores. From my experience over the years, we have been seeing a drop in the performance of students.
If I am to take Bio-chemistry, we used to have pre degree programme which was conducted both after the programme you enter one hundred (100) level, through that avenue. We saw that most of the best graduating students are from the pre-degree programme compared to those who come through Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) because in JAMB, we don’t know their background and strength and they will come with fantastic scores, such as 270, 280 and 300, but those who come through pre degree programme mostly do better at the end of the day. I have observed that out of twelve 2nd class uppers in a year, nine could be pre degree products.
