The issue of Osun education status needs a brief review for those who are not deliberately mischievous but genuinely willing to know if the state is improving or receding.
I would want to say that the huge investment in education is gradually paying off in Osun. For clarification, people have focussed on the WAEC position released every other year by WAEC. This focus has not really allowed the state to assess its own performances against its own baseline. Aregbesola met WAEC success rate of 15% and have driven it to 46.30% in 2016. So statistically Aregbe has upped Osun WAEC results by 195%.
Those blaming Aregbesola are those who failed to ask themselves where Osun was before Aregbe. That is not even my focus here.
We all know that WAEC is not designed to be a terminal qualification and that is why only the matriculable results (5 credits) are reckoned with. Just like money whose real value is not its quantity but what it can buy. A man holding 1000 USD is better placed than a man with 2000 Zimbabwe dollars despite both bearing the name of dollar. WAEC result, therefore, is not an end in itself but a mean to an end which is higher institution matriculation.
I’m not the one to break the news of “miracle centres”, you know that several those high WAEC figures are the product of “miracle centres” where massive cheating is the norm.
I’m not saying all high WAEC figures are fake, but let’s check the statistics using Abia that came 1st in WAEC as a case study. The value of its high WAEC rating should translate to a high admission of its students to a higher institution, but Alas the Osun some may wish to blame has been having more of its students secure admission than Abia since 2014 till date.
So what is the essence of high WAEC that leads to low admission? The meaning of this data is that the value of Osun’s 29th position is worth more than the 1st of Abia. The most consistent state that has its WAEC figure corroborating its admission status in Nigeria is IMO state.
Ogun used to be the best in admission in the South West, but Osun has overtaken Ogun State to be the best in the South West since 2014. Osun has ranked high on all positive indices used by JAMB and Nigeria Bureau of Statistics (NBS) since 2014. Osun has been on the top 3 in Nigeria in last 3 years.
Pls, Visit the NBS office nearest to you before you argue based on ignorance.
When others a busy celebrating miraculous inanities, Aregbesola has focussed on what really matters and now the figures are adding up.
Osun is not there yet, but Osun is not relenting. Osun education is no doubt doing well and looking up.
Tell all those who care to listen that Osun is Coming!!!!
