According to Bello an Abuja based educationist a member of all Nigeria
Committee of principals of secondary schools ANCOPSS. The truth is that
the reading culture in Nigeria is generally poor. To make it worse,
these days most of our student hardly read listed they waste their
precious time watching television or films, listening to music, playing
video/computer games.
Another educationist, MOhmud (2009) attributed
the dismal performance in WAEC examination to the lactadaisical attitude
of the government and its refusal to adequately fund the education
sector. According to him on several occasion we clamoured for improved
budgetary allocation to the education sector but all these have fallen
on deaf ears. For instance UNESCO recommend that 26 percent of any
country’s budget should be allocated to the education sectors, but
instead what do you have in Nigeria? Government paying lip service to
education sector, other countries who understand the importance of
education have taken, proactive steps to adequately fund their education
sector. For instance Ghana has allocated 29 percent to its education
sector, even for more than the UNESCO recommendation. The same thing
with South Africa and but ward who allocated 35 percent and 57 percent
respectively to their education sectors. So until these thing are
implemented we would continue to montage the future of our children.
Comparative
study refers to the comparism of different capabilities or abilities of
different groups or individual of the same or different categories
wikipedia (2009). Comparative study of the performance of student in
WAEC in biology, chemistry and English language from 2004-2008 deals
with comparing the performance ability of student in biology chemistry
and English language.
Statement of the Problem
The comparision of
student performance in WAEC has been a confusing issue even to WAEC body
as the case may be taken a close instance as regard this confusion.
WAEC could not present the highest or the best performed student in WAEC
each year as they use to do formally as at 1990. This day results are
released without comparism and grades to enable student really know
their level of performance when compared to the subjects, that is why
these study focuses on identifying the following;
1. Comparing the performance of student in biology and English language in WAEC from 2004-2008.
2. Comparing the performance of student in chemistry and English in WAEC from 2004-2008.
