“Nothing just happens in life without a cause” – Law of Casualty.
As it’s now no more question as to why everything is getting more expensive than it was before because people have now realised the logic behind it. Some claim it’s the change in the global economy that causes that and the same goes with the idea of it’s just because that the world is getting larger and food is getting scanty due to the acute rise in population. Same goes with the thought that it’s simply because the world’s giants want to forcefully impose the idea of family planning on people to reduce the population.
Well, many versions of stories have emerged, both reliable and unreliable and anyone has his reasons and facts to buttress and support his points as well. So, the same thing may be considered as the reason behind Jambites’ massive failure in the recent examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board. Some blame the students for having no good plan to succeed due to their lack of reading culture and many other factors which we can all agree with.
Furthermore, some shift the blame to the teachers for not delivering their assignments well to the students by giving them the required skills for one to succeed in any exams since the questions are not extracted out of their curriculum.
Perhaps both the reasons can be acceptable depending on what has at hand as fact and reasons. I believe that honestly. All the above reasons can be seen as the causative agent of the recent academic tragedy but I have one observation at hand.
Of course, due to the nature of world dynamism, many factors may arise to which they could be attributed to the reason behind something occurrence. So to me, the system won’t be exonerated because it’s no longer updated up to the modern standard in our country today.
It’s a fact that the Labour market is highly contested by the myriad number of graduates who are dreaming of getting a white-collar job through it but unfortunately, due to the nature of our economy and population, all effort has seemingly remain futile.
Nevertheless, in that regard, the government’s reason that leaving abundant graduates unemployed is a threat to national peace because you can’t leave a well-informed person with an empty stomach and expect things to be stable. Anything can happen, the crime rate will soar high when such nuisances take place.
So in an attempt to reduce the rate of unemployed graduates wallowing in the labour markets, then they come up with an idea of blocking ways that will keep the jury to be getting crowdy as its today. As such they consider putting a blockage to the teenagers who are yearning to reach the universities of which is the way where they pass through and reach the labour market.
And since it’s through Jamb they use to get the admission, then they decide to fail them woefully and achieve their targets.
Also, those in the universities might likely not elude this plan, some will be retained in the school with implausible carryovers just to favour the system. So when one experiences such a black incident, he or she doesn’t have to bother much because it’s something designed already to favour the interest of both the government and the system as a whole.
Meanwhile, this may appear an unpopular thought but at least it has some points that need to be fully scrutinised and ponder upon.
Therefore, let’s digest them and gauge it with the reality, and later we will find answers to what caused the recent massive failure in Jamb; exploring that one will offer the reason to land softly on the kids he/she sponsored to write the exams.
May we have the chance to take a look at the different perspectives while figuring out the truth about something or a phenomenon. May we succeed in this life. There is life with or without degree qualifications because only Allah knows the fortune he attached one’s soul to and nothing can change that.
