Lagos, Nigeria, March 31, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Recent West African Examinations Councils result show that less than 15% of the candidates achieve five or more credits including Mathematics and English Language, which is the basic requirement for admission into universities. In fact, every year in Nigeria alone over 300,000 students have to retake their exams because they failed Mathematics or English in their first attempt. This was highlighted recently in an article in Nigeria's Sun Newspaper, which said "The sad import of these statistics is that about 88 per cent of students who had spent about six years preparing for the examinations failed." This sad story is similar all over West Africa from Sierra Leone to the Gambia.
