The JAMB cut-off mark tragedy

There can be no good sounding in the recent announcement of very low cut-off marks in Nigeria’s most important grading examination, the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. The entire occasion reminds one of the Yoruba word, “ijamba”, which sounding like JAMB, the acronym of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, means something tragic.

The slash reflects nothing short of failure in the country’s educational sector. The examination recorded very woeful scores but it is not sufficient to lay claim to this as the entire reason for the cut-off reduction.

Upon hearing the announcement from JAMB slashing the cut-off marks as low as 140 for some tertiary institutions, the first question was to ask if they now grade the exam over 300 as opposed to 400 it used to be.

This situation only reflects that the desire to make educational attainment has disappeared in today’s Nigeria and has been replaced by a combination of bad educational policies and a deficient teaching and learning process.

While there are insinuations that the scores were reduced to accommodate a part of the country where there is seeming educational disadvantage and low scores so that people in those regions can access tertiary education, it still remains the case that the scores are a shame and there is no reputable examination anywhere in the world where a pass mark comes down so low.

Some argue that the cut-off reduction would encourage admission into courses where many candidates do not show interest and others suggest that the reduction would encourage private universities as they would be able to admit from the pool of low-scoring candidates.

However, for both instances, the purpose of an examination is defeated when the passing score has been dragged down below the surface.

Is JAMB telling the candidates who are preparing for the next examination that with a score of 140, they can still gain admission?

Does this reduction not erode totally the desire of the next set of candidates to score high marks and compete for the best slots?

Why should the official cut-off for a major examination that determines access to tertiary education come so low?

Why should anyone wonder when the best Nigerian university is ranked 800 and below in the world?

If the cut-off to gain admission comes so low and far below average, why should the world not view those in the institutions as simpletons and the entire university system only fit for the least positions in the universal ranking?

What good impression of a nation’s educational system can be given with very low admission cut-off into her tertiary institutions?

Examinations are designed as a form of assessment to show how well a candidate or student understands the syllabus. At the same time, it serves the function of population control to ensure only those who have distinguished themselves through the exams can proceed further. The purpose of an examination is therefore defeated when you can only pass it with a fail. The pass mark has come as low as 40 per cent.

The cause of mass failure is not far-fetched. It is found in the apparent conditions of the public schools in the country and the little motivation of candidates to face their academics as it appears education does not even guarantee daily bread.

In Nigeria, before gaining admission into a tertiary institution, a candidate has to take the UTME.  The nature of this exam, as the qualifying test for the entire nation into tertiary education, ensures that the nation should instead encourage high performance among candidates and not pat low performance on the head by slashing the cut-off marks.

There is a need for an official release from JAMB on why the score has come so low. Of course, its recent remittances into the federal coffers are commendable. But how do you remit money into the coffers of government while remitting failures into her universities? This is handing Nigeria a poisoned chalice.

Some are deceived that first generation universities and other prestigious institutions will stick to high scores. However, they often end up admitting those with very low scores ahead of those with higher scores since the cut-off has been officially reduced so drastically to qualify even the low-scoring candidates.

Thus, those who can pay enough may be able to buy the slots ahead of those who could score enough even in the universities where the cut-off appears higher on paper than the JAMB cutoff.  Since the cut-off is the standard, it is not impossible to still admit using it while beaming the use of higher scores to the public.

This JAMB tragic cut-off encourages in great ways corruption in the admission process. The danger in the cut-off reduction is that it further paves the way for admission racketeering as several would be able to gain admission ahead of those with higher scores once they make the cut-off and can produce the needed cash to see them through the rest of the admission process.

UPDATED: JAMB releases results of 1.7m candidates, blacklists 116 centres for malpractices

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has released the results of 1,792,719 candidates out of the 1,886,508 who sat for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examinations in April.

Announcing the results in Abuja on Saturday, the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, said 34,120 results were withheld, including the results of 15,145 candidates which were being further clarified  as ‘identical twins and siblings.’

He explained further that 59,667 candidates were absent during the exams.

Oloyede stated, “A total of  1,826,839 sat for the UTME. Today, we are releasing the results of 1,792,719 candidates.

“Some 34,120 results are being withheld, including the results of 15,145 candidates being further clarified  as identical twins and siblings.”

The board stated that the UTME, which was conducted between April 11 and 17, 2019 across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, was painstaking, describing it as a success story.

The JAMB registrar disclosed that 116 exam centres had been blacklisted, including a Computer-based Test centre in Akokwa in Delta State which bribed exam officers with N1.7m.

“We have recovered the payment voucher and the concerned staff are being investigated,  but they claimed that they received the bribe because their lives were in danger,” Oloyede stated.

He noted that the exams recorded multiple registrations, pointing out that a candidate, for instance, registered 23 times for the examination.

Oloyede said, “A total of 116 centres have been de-listed or suspended. Out of this number, 18  have been sanctioned by the Governing Board of JAMB with suspension for between one and three years for registration-related misconduct.”

He directed candidates to send ‘RESULT’ to the short code, 55019, on their handsets, or  they can visit "CELESTIAL COMPUTERS TYOWANYE" to check their result online.

Ronaldo throw his girlfriend into the sea as they enjoy leisure in Ibiza

Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez can be sen in the pictures below enjoying the time of their life on a luxury yacht in Ibiza on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old Juventus star was pictured playfully throwing his 24-year-old girlfriend into the sea as they frolicked together in the sunshine.

It’s only normal for a player like Ronaldo who works very hard to find time to have some leisure.

One of the players expected to play a starring role alongside Ronaldo in his new club Juventus, Douglas Costa, has today opened up on a particular aspect of Ronaldo’s game which he has been taken aback by during their training sessions together to this point.

Speaking in an interview with 9SportPro earlier today, Costa admitted to being shocked by the sheer commitment and worth ethic displayed by the former Manchester United star, explaining:

‘It is impossible to follow Cristiano Ronaldo in training. When we arrive, he is already training, when we leave he is still training, I have never seen a player like that.’

HOW TO SOLVE THE “NTLDR IS MISSING” ERROR

HOW TO SOLVE THE “NTLDR IS MISSING” ERROR

Description and Symptoms

The error messages, alerts, warnings, and symptoms below are tied to this error.

Symptoms: When a computer is turned on, the BIOS picks an eligible, bootable hard drive and then load the NTLDR file. The NTLDR file is normally located in the root directory of the active partition on the first boot drive. However, if the NTLDR file is not found or is corrupt, then the loading process halts and the “NTLDR is missing” error screen appears.

“NTLDR is missing” Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart.

The exact error message may vary: while “NTLDR is missing” is the most common one, the computer may also show “Boot: Couldn’t find NTLDR” or “NTLDR is Missing Press any key to restart”.

Causes of this Error:

This error has been known to occur as a result of one of the following causes:

Cause 1: Computer is booting from a non-bootable source. Sometimes this error can be caused if a computer tries to boot from a non-bootable source, such as a floppy disk or a flash drive. This usually happens if that computer’s BIOS boot sequence is configured incorrectly.

Cause 2: when the NTLDR-related files are corrupt or missing, this error may appear if any of boot-related files (NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM and Boot.ini) are missing or corrupt. These files are normally hidden and system protected, but they can still go bad because of user errors, power outages, or virus attacks.

Fixing “NTLDR is missing” on Windows:

Windows Setup CD/DVD Required!

Some of the solutions below require the use of the Microsoft Windows setup CD or DVD.

Fix 1: Unplug all removable media:

Since this error is often caused by BIOS trying to load from an external non-bootable drive, the user may try to unplug all external drives, and remove all removable media, such as CD/floppy disks, memory cards, and USB devices to make sure the BIOS doesn’t try to load from any of them.

Fix 2: Change BIOS boot order:

Alternatively, it is possible to check the BIOS boot order to ensure that the PC tries to load from an internal drive first.

To check the boot order, follow these steps:

1.    Restart the PC

2.    Press the necessary key to open BIOS menu. This key depends on the computer manufacturer and computer model. This is usually listed on the first screen that appears on your monitor. It can be any of the following: Esc, Del, F2 , F8 , F10 or F12.

3.    If the screen shows multiple keys, find the key to open “BIOS”, “setup” or “BIOS menu”

Use the arrow keys to select the BOOT tab. Move the HDD drive to the top of priority list.

Fix 3: Replace NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files:

Windows XP users can replace the required files for NTLDR to load correctly by using your Windows Installation Disc. The files are named NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM.

Here are the steps to replace these files:

1.        Insert the Windows XP install CD

2.        Restart the computer and boot from the CD

3.        Press any key to boot from the CD

4.        Press R when the Windows Options menu is loaded to access Repair Console

5.        After this step, log into Windows by pressing 1.

6.        Enter Administrator password if set.

7.        Use the following commands to copy the NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM files from the Windows installation disk to the hard disk:

copy D:\i386\ntldr C:\ 

copy D:\i386\ntdetect.com C:\

Where D:\ is the install CD’s drive letter and C:\ is the Windows XP partition’s drive letter

8.        Once these files are copied, remove the Windows installation disc from the disc drive

9.        Restart the PC.  

Fix 4: Change the boot-sector code:

On Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 this error can be fixed by writing a correct BOOTMGR-related boot sector code to the bootable partition.

Here are the steps to write a correct boot sector:
