1,300 Kaduna Teachers Fail Primary School Test. 1300 score less than 25%
This kind of education is not preparing anyone's future. Education is good, but it seems we need to question what kind, to what degree
" About 1300 teachers in Kaduna have failed in tests generally set for primary four pupils, Commissioner for Education Alhaji Usman Mohammed has revealed. He made the shocking disclosure at an education summit tagged "Education for all is responsibility of all", held at the Hassan Usman Katsina House yesterday.
"A total of 1,599 teachers selected from across the state were given primary four tests in Mathematics and Basic literacy. Only one of them scored 75 percent, 250 scored between 50 to 75 percent and 1,300 scored below 25 percent," he said.
According to him, the same examination was conducted for 1,800 primary school pupils but that larger percent of them failed woefully.
"We are not surprised about the performance of the pupils because how can they know it, when their teachers don't know it," he added."
