Mass Failure In WASSCE Blamed On Erratic Power Supply-Rep

Recurrent poor performances in the West African Secondary School Certificate examinations and other public examinations have been blamed on erratic power supply in the country.

This claim was made by Chief Yomi Ogunnusi, representing Ifako-Ijiaye constituency in Lagos. The lawmaker said the erratic power supply was a big hindrance to learning; something he said would not encourage students to study hard.

The 2014 results released by the West African Examination Council showed that only 31.28% of candidates who sat for the West African Secondary School Certificate examination passed with five credits in five subjects including Mathematics and English Language.
