THE cut-off marks for the 2017/2018 admission into tertiary
institutions recently announced by the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) are indicative of a lack of will to address
the rot that has gnawed deep into the nation’s education system.
While announcing the marks, JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq
Oloyede, stated that the cut-off for candidates seeking admission into
colleges of education, polytechnics and other non-degree-awarding
institutions would be 100, while it would be 120 for university
candidates.
Although the JAMB Registrar, in his attempt to justify the
decision reached by the Board and university vice chancellors, said
hiking the cut off marks usually results in the country losing many
candidates to mushroom universities outside the country, be that as it
may, there are major issues with the cut-off marks.
