Massive Failure in External Examination: A System Devoid of Accountability?

B y: Amadu Wurie Jalloh-(AWJ-"SAWN👍) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ It's rhetorical to assume that the only panacea to massive failure in external examinations in Sierra Leone is to upgrade the education standard of the country. This paradox has been resounded in the just released WASSCE results which, by all indications out there, is the worst result since after the War in Sierra Leone.  Many people have taken to social media blaming students' unpreparedness, immaturity, and incapability for the mass failures. Proponents of this believe that the reenforcement of regulatory and supervisory measures by the government, and of course making punishable the act of selling grades, are a possible explanation of the plague, which is not far from the truth. But we however cannot factor out 'lack of accountability and transparency' in the conduct of exams and reward of grades to students. We have s...

The generational sin

By: Ibrahim Jalloh - ( Jallomy ) There is a bankrupt truism that a man cannot be ahead of his time and generation! This philosophy draws strength from the the conflicting reality of disconnect between a generation bracket and ahead of time rationalization and behavioural patterns. Certainly, some people are far ahead of their generation, time and the dictates of the age. Often in Western Literature, this can be neatly described as " the generation gap". You think something or some direction is wrong but the greater and often gullible majority think it is right. Invariably, they will give you descriptive terms: a dissenter, a leftist, a non conformist, a rebel, the list goes on. Society largely thinks and behave in stereotypical manner with the ruthless expectations that all must follow and comply. This perhaps the cradle or that which is loosely called societal norms. Realistically, norms are ridiculous conditioned patterns of behaviour. They have the huge potential to i...
