University intake for 2010 Thanks Ejiku for posting the public university intake. The summaries you have posted clearly indicate significant bottlenecks in performance in the schools in WN region.
As we began addressing the challenges in the school system last year, the problems in the schools cannot be left to a select few. I believe there's a greater need to go to the root of the problems from each school, engage teachers, parents and students in finding solutions. The grievance we share over poor performance in the schools will continue to manifest itself in so many domains unless we become proactive in tackling some of the problems.
