Alex Onyia drills his village youngsters for 2024 UTME success
Alex, CEO of Educare, said he and his team employed a different approach to solving the UTME problem instead of waiting for the government.
They put the students on intensive morning and evening drills as well as make them 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."
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?"
Alex and his team target 90 % success in 2024 UTME
The techie further revealed that the target is to have a success of 90% in 2024 UTME and spoke on scholarships for over-performing students.
"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."
