First Class on Paper… or First Class in Life?

Nigerian students are pros at surviving tests:

  • Cram all night 😵‍💫
  • Enter exam hall 🧠🔥
  • Forget everything next week 😌

We celebrate grades like they’re destiny.
But employers keep shouting:

“They can’t solve problems!”
“They don’t know how to work in a team!”
“They froze during the interview!”

Maybe the issue isn’t the students.
Maybe the issue is what we measure.

Imagine assessments that reward:

  • Creativity
  • Teamwork
  • Practical skills
  • The courage to try new things 😎

Imagine graduates who don’t just chase A’s…
but chase ability.

A transcript shows what you passed.
Your competence shows what you can do.

Which one should truly define your future?
Exactly.
