AFRI Queen wrote:
“I’m not surprised most of the secondary school students are busy distracting their future with social media.
Eating their pension at early age.”
Another user, Seyi Sowunmi:
“I’ve said it many times: this current generation is no longer interested in education; they prefer TikTok to textbooks.
All they seem to do is move around with iPhones. Awon Pablo
Many of them spend their time in tutorial centers making superficial friendships and engaging in inappropriate behaviour.”
While Akor Lukezy J., advised:
“If secondary schools can stop examination malpractices in WAEC AND NECO, students would be more serious. They would have prepared themselves very well before they leave secondary schools and UTME would be easier for them to pass.
It is only JAMB that is showing the true academic capacities and performances of students in this country. The rest are scams.”
