Worried by the low performance of secondary school students in the 2024 WAEC and JAMB examinations in Kaduna South Senatorial District, Senator Sunday Marshall Katung has organised a two-day training programme for over 100 youths on Computer Based Test (CBT).

The participants who are mostly teachers of public schools and graduates, were selected from the 87 wards of Kaduna South Senatorial District. They are expected to step down the training on the Computer Based Test (CBT) for senior secondary school students across Southern Kaduna communities.

The Senator is partnering with Pareto Matrix International to improve students’ performance in WAEC/NECO and JAMB examinations while increasing enrollment of Southern Kaduna students in tertiary institutions across the country.

Speaking at the training seminar for the facilitators in Kafanchan, Senator Katung, who was represented by his Senior Legislative Aide, Hon. Wilson Iliya Yangye, said the training is part of his effort to redefine education through computer and software applications, to modernize learning approaches in Southern Kaduna as well as enhance digital literacy and access to education.

“The free training was organized to train the facilitators who will move down to Southern Kaduna communities to train and expose secondary school students on the use of computers to write WAEC/NECO and JAMB examinations at the grassroots level.

According to the Senator, “hitherto, most of the students have not had the opportunity to operate a computer set. Hence, we deemed it fit and necessary to organize the training for the trainers who will, in turn, train and expose our students to familiarize themselves with computers and how to use them advantageously to enhance their proficiency and performance in any examination.

“This initiative is in line with our electioneering campaign promises to the people, and to also increase tertiary school enrollment of our constituents.

“As the people’s representative in the National Assembly, I am utterly committed to the educational advancement of our Senatorial District and the human capital development of my dearly beloved constituents.

“With the knowledge acquired from this training, I am quite convinced our students will be well prepared for their computer based examinations,” he said.

Speaking to the facilitators, the Chief Executive Officer of Pareto Matrix International, Dr. Michael Samuel Agility said the aim is to bridge the gap between secondary school and higher education as well as empower students to reach their full potential.

According to him, the low performance of “our students was due to lack of exposure to computer system, while for others it could be their inability to manage their time properly during the exams.”

According to him, the facilitators will equally help the students to make informed career choices.

The beneficiaries of the two days training were full of praise and appreciation to Senator Katung for the opportunity.
