INSTITUTIONAL EXAMINATION PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION-WISE MODULES E AND F MAY 2013
1.0 Introduction
Examination performance of graduates from the institutions of higher learning sitting for the final stage examinations has been analyzed for purposes of:
- Determining how these graduates from the institutions of higher learning perform in the final stage examinations
- Establishing the number of graduates who register for the Board examinations from the institutions that are enjoying exemptions from the Board's examinations.
Two approaches have been used to evaluate the institutional performance. The first approach shows the pass rate of the graduates attempting the examinations within an institution (Number of graduates passing against those registered in that institution). The second approach shows institutional pass rates against the overall passing candidates in that module – refer to Tables I & II attached.
