The director of New Beacon International School, Apo-Dutse, Abuja, Emmanuel Ozigi, has attributed the mass failure recorded by candidates in the 2021
He said: “Coping with COVID has not been easy. Part of the coping strategies which we expected that there should be palliative from governments. The private institutions should be supported. I don’t think that the initiative has worked because some of us have not been able to access some of those palliatives from the Federal Government. However, on our own as directors of the school and other partners, we put funds together to see how we can run the school without stopping.
“If the government can support the private sector with some funding at a reasonable rate that we can pay back, you will see that we would improve more. Our product would be well improved in terms of capacity and performance. Even the teachers would be well-taken care of.
“The JAMB outcome is a worry to me because if you see, one, as you rightly said it is very difficult funding education. Now paying teachers and running all the operational activities has not been an easy thing. So, some schools that cannot afford it failed and probably they could not retain their teachers. Even those ones in the public, they may not have that much zeal and support for the school because they need to earn other streams of income.
