Read our report on the state of pre-varsity education in Nigeria
Overview
Based on the analysis of our study on WASSCE and NECO performance across various states in Nigeria between 2019 and 2021. A School Connect pilot program was conducted in School of Science, Ile-Ife, Osun state in 2022 to demonstrate its effectiveness in significantly improving student outcomes.
Based on these findings, strategic actions and recommendation were made to to the state to combat the declining scores Maths and Science-related subjects with particular focus on Maths and Physics.
Results obtained
Notably, all 40 students in our case study passed Mathematics with 50% of them scoring A1
A significant improvement in student performance in math and physics was observed in 2022, coinciding with the implementation of the program. Notably, about 50% of the students achieved a distinction or an ‘A’ grade in math. Although there was also an improvement in physics, the performance was not as pronounced as in math.
This disparity can be attributed to the greater number of math classes conducted during the program (25 of 25) compared to physics classes (15 of 24).
Results obtained
“What part of the program helped you most in reaching your goals?”
To analyze the responses to the open-ended question, “What part of the program helped you most in reaching your goals?”, we employed a coding technique to categorize the feedback.
This approach allowed us to identify the most frequently mentioned aspects of the program that students found beneficial. The results of this analysis are depicted in Figure above
