  1. As a proud alum of St. Joseph’s Academy, this makes my heart swell! Uchenna, you’ve made our school and the country proud.

  2. Nothing much to see here but a bunch of nicely dressed young people and education officials looking very pleased with themselves.
    Most of these young people are good at regurgitating book work. Many received passes inspired by SBA’s that they have either not written nor researched.

    What we need in this country is a set of youngsters learning to be our masons, contractors, plumbers, chefs, electricians, etc. Young people who know their country and can serve as skilled tour guides, versed in their country’s history and culture. But we are not producing these. What we are getting in a set that has not been prepared to meet the needs of our job market, and that is why we have to be importing skilled workers.

    Are they just doing plenty subjects to prove they could study “book” or to get plenty subjects that their parents can boast about?
    Teachers are complaining that the students are dropping challenging subjects and opting for those that could give them a pass for sure. Like PE and EDPM.

    What is to become of our country a few years from now when all our young people could do is dress up for work every day in shirt and tie and high heels shoes and tight dress, and none of them can change a light bulb, nor change a washer in a pipe? Too many of our young people know almost nothing about the world around them. A cell phone in every hand to socialize with each other is not helping either.

    And then we want to complain how people from other countries coming here and taking the skilled jobs?
    Scary.
