That’s a concerning statistic! The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is the entrance examination board for tertiary institutions in Nigeria. If over 1.4 million out of 1.8 million candidates who wrote the JAMB exam failed to score up to 200, it indicates a significant challenge in the education sector.
The passing mark for JAMB is 180, and scoring 200 is considered a decent score. However, with such a large number of candidates struggling to reach this threshold, it raises questions about the quality of education, preparation, and support provided to students.
This statistic highlights the need for urgent attention and reform in Nigeria’s education system to improve student outcomes and prepare them for success in higher education and beyond.
