MAJOR CAUSES OF MASS FAILURE OF NTC LICENSURE EXAMINATION
On the cause of the mass failure, the Registrar informed the leadership that majority of those who sat for the exams were resit students and that, preparation towards the exams was inadequate.
ALLEGED LEAKAGES OF EXAMINATION PAPERS
He further stated that there wasn’t any leakage of any of the papers, and invigilation was tight since the victims were not allowed to sit for the papers in their various institutions. He then emphatically stated that the results were the true reflection of the performance of the students.
STATISTICS OF NTC LICENSURE EXAMINATION
The leadership further requested for the statistics of the exams to clear the mindset of its constituents of a deliberate attempt by NTC to shortlist the number of trained teachers who will be eligible for recruitment by GES.
In response to the request, the leadership were told that the statistics over the years have been twisted by the media which sends negative signal about teachers. He elaborated further that the media only publish the failures and relegate the good news of the results to bring disrepute to our fraternity, therefore there would be no statistics of the exams this year.
