UTME: Moral effect Of FailingCandidates Unfairly

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board’s testing model are that showing of the overall performance of the candidates, only one in every five of them will secure admission into higher institutions. This assumption supports the said that JAMB purposely fails four in every five candidates employing any means necessary to arrive at the desired goal of matching the candidates with the available admission slots. The exam body’s management is not Inform of the grave harm examination failure does to candidates’ self-esteem. Given that the future of Nigeria is inextricably coupled with its capacity for providing quality high education for all candidates, it put forward that the country adopts the moral equivalent to purposely failing candidates in JAMB exams for lack of admission slots. This will incorporate the following initiatives: Reviewing on a case-by-case basis the merits of the so-called “illegal universities” that were shut down by the authorities; establishing a pathway for achieving accreditation status in the Nigerian context for these universities and; establishing a protegee programme for these institutions. Inferring from the Steve Oronsanye Committee’s Report, the prospects of the present administration establishing a new university is remote; so, what is the rationale for closing down 41 universities established by private entities? These institutions may have been illegally constituted. Couldn’t they be given opportunities to cure their deficiencies? Alternatively, the Federal Government can invoke its power of eminent domain and take possession of these institutions for the general good.
