The Enugu State government » is making moves towards
solving the issue of poor performance of students in the
state during external examinations.
The Commissioner for Education, Professor Uche Eze, while
confirming this in Enugu, said the government had
introduced a uniform end-of-session examination in all
schools in the state to check the continuous poor
performance of students in external examinations.

He added that the state government had not been satisfied
with performance of the students and making this move is
the best way to make the right changes to the educational
sector. »

Eze alleged that the situation could be as a result of teachers
who are not committed to their jobs.
"We have observed that many teachers no longer cover their
curriculum for the term and when they fail, students will be
at a disadvantage. Therefore, we have introduced a
mechanism to monitor those who renege in covering their
curriculum and this transcends both public and private
schools. We shall commence uniformed end-of-session
examination from primary three to Senior Secondary three
in all schools across the state from next academic session,"
he said.

Eze said that the state government was poised to providing a
befitting learning environment and had awarded contracts
for the construction and renovation of 300 classroom blocks
across the state.
