Make Education, Learning Fun For Students — Fashola

Fashola says the adoption of more exciting, practical based teaching methods will boost learning and performance among students

Modern day students can only be encouraged to learn if teaching methods are fun and less paper based, says Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State.

Speaking at the opening of a three-day retreat for members of the state executive council and permanent secretaries, Fashola said students' mass failure is due to non-appealing teaching methods.

"We need to understand that the present generation of students do things more online and less with paper," Fashola said.

"We need to teach our students in line with these realities.

"We need to employ methods that they find appealing and would make them learn better”.

Fashola said cases like the near 70% failure in the May/June West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) testify to the changing learning preferences.

The governor said the adoption of more exciting, practical based teaching methods will boost learning and performance in the WASSCE.

“Performance in WASSCE can be improved with better teaching methods," he said.

It will be recalled that Student Pulse recently reported that about 70 percent of the candidates that sat for the 2014 May/June West African Examinations Council (WAEC) failed to obtain five 5 credits including the required Mathematics and English Language.
