The National Examination Council (NECO) on
Friday
released the 2016 June/July Senior School
Certificate
Examination (SSCE) results with 88.51 per cent of
the
candidates obtaining five credits pass and above
in
English Language and Mathematics.
Announcing the release of the results at the
body’s
headquarter in Minna, the NECO Registrar, Prof.
Charles Uwakwe, said there is a one per cent
increase in the general performance of
candidates
this year compared with 2015.
He said 905,011 or 88.51 per cent out of the
1,022,474
candidates that sat for the examination in Nigeria
and other countries got five credits and above,
while
84.54 per cent got credit pass and above in
English
Language and 80.16 per cent obtained credit pass
and above in Mathematics.
Uwakwe said 194 schools were involved in mass
cheating, while 14 schools have been
derecognized
by the body for examination malpractice.
He lamented the rate at which schools are
involved in
examination malpractice, stressing that any
school
caught will be derecognized.
The Registrar attributed the increased candidates’
performance in the examination to the staff of
NECO,
contributions from his predecessors who have
laid a
good foundation and the seriousness of the
candidates.
He maintained that NECO would not reduce its
standard especially as it intends to make its mark
in
the global assessment industry.
He said, “I want to solicit for support from all our
stakeholders. NECO should be seen as a Nigerian
baby that requires the care and support of all to
enable her attain that first class international
status.
We are working hard to ensure NECO makes her
mark in the global assessment industry.”
