Nearly 2 million Nigerians sat the 2025 #UTME. Yet, over 78% scored below 200 out of 400. The backlash was swift, but this figure points beyond mass failure. It reflects a systemic crisis in education. #DevReporting

The #UTME is more than a test, it shapes futures. In Lagos, 19-year-old Timilehin Opesusi reportedly died by suicide after scoring 190. For many, the emotional toll of high-stakes exams is devastating.

#JAMB admits a software failure affected ~380,000 students. 157 centres delivered flawed questions due to unpatched servers. Still, even in normal years, fewer than 25% of candidates score above 200.

Experts cite deep-rooted issues: overcrowded classrooms, untrained teachers, #ICT gaps, and false confidence from #WAEC malpractice. Logistics are also harsh, with exams starting as early as 6:30 a.m.

Beyond hashtags like #ThisIsNotMyResult, this is a call for reform. Transparent audits, stronger CBT systems, and a shift from cramming to critical thinking are urgent. The next generation deserves better. Link to full article: bit.ly/Devrep-5yrdata
