LearnAfrica Plc (former Longman Plc) has
congratulated the candidates of the 2013 June/
July National Examinations Council (NECO)
SSCE and the council itself for the significant
improvement of performances and reduction in
examination malpractices.
Results released recently by NECO indicated
that about 70 per cent of candidates obtained
five credits and above - an improvement of
about 18 percent compared to the 2012 figure of
about 52 per cent.
In a press release which was signed by the Head
of Marketing, LearnAfrica Plc, Mr Allwell
Nwakwo, and made available to newsmen on
Wednesday, the company attributed the
improved outcomes to quality teaching by
teachers, hard work by students, availability of
quality resources and seamless organisation by
the examination body.
“We have no doubt that there is still room for
improvement. That is why we are investing in
motivating Nigerian students through the
LearnAfrica-NECO Excellence Awards and other
initiatives of our foundation.”
It will be recalled that in 2012, the corporate
social responsibility arm of the company, the
LearnAfrica Education Development
Foundation, instituted the Excellence Awards to
recognise and reward outstanding NECO
candidates, schools and teachers in all states of
the Federation and the Federal Capital
Territory.
