On social media, a Nigerian techie named Alex Onyia received praise for the academic programme he established for kids in his town after they failed 2023 UTME.
Only a couple of his village’s students narrowly avoided failing in the 2023 UTME, according to Alex, who stated this on X.
CEO of Educare Alex claimed that rather of waiting for the government, he and his team used a new strategy to address the UTME issue.
The students participate in rigorous morning and evening drills and are required to take CBT once a month.
Alex explained: “We took the challenge upon ourselves for it not to repeat itself again. Every youngster in my village right now is on an intensive morning and evening drilling for next year’s Jamb and they undertake CBT once monthly with large pool of 16 years past questions across different subjects.”
Failed 2023 UTME exams results in initiative
Alex said he noticed they were not computer literate. “One common thing we noticed is that many of the youngsters are alien to computers and can’t even use a mouse nor keyboards. How were they planning to succeed in jamb when they could had probably be using a computer for the first time on Jamb day?”
The expert went on to mention that the goal for the UTME in 2024 is a success rate of 90% and spoke about scholarships for top candidates.
“It’s an eye opener and our mission is for all of them to score above 250. We will be paying for all their jamb exam fees and are also offering full scholarship to everyone that scores 300 and above.”

@n6oflife6 said: “Education remains the surest path out of poverty. I love what you guys are Doing in the South East. God bless you all. “
@Ifechideere said: “Say you leave this running and it becomes a school that trains all the children and teens in digital skills. Your village should be producing top tech CEOs in the next 10-20 years. “I have such a plan for my village in Enugu and I’ll do it. “Well done!”
