The Gambia Grade 12 Results Visualized
My thoughts and what WE can all do to help out
As if the results are not already shockingly bad, the data released by West African Examinations Council — WAEC (credit passes) is missing around 5000 candidates — over a third of the total number. What happened to these candidates? Did they get zero credits from all their subjects? Is this a discrepancy from WAEC’s end? Or something else?
There is not a time to start complaining, it’s not all the kids fault. It’s time for action. There are many issues and one way to start addressing them is to take a look at the data: Are there certain schools/regions performing poorly when compared to others? Which subjects are the students under-performing in? I’m sure there are more questions to ask and WAEC has the data.
How can YOU help out:
➡️ Support the kids that failed, help get them back on track.
➡️ Mentor the incoming Grade 10, 11, and 12 students. There’s one in your family, neighborhood, or Alma mater.
➡️ Speak out, express your outrage to the relevant stakeholders: MoBSE, school principals, teachers and others.
