HOW STUDENTS FAIL EXAMINATIONS

The rate at which students, fail in examination is becoming alarming ; something has to be done about it. But before we can do something about it, we need to know the causes. Let us therefore look at some of them.

It has been discovered that some students fail because they fail to attend classes. They will leave their homes in the morning pretending to be going to school. They then go to various places where they carry out many activities like Playing computer games, smoking, etc.

Some of them engaging in gambling, betting etc.

What does a student who does not attend classes will write down in an examination? Such students do not have anything to write down. Eventually they will fail.

Another thing that accounts for some student's failure in examination is lack of concentration in class. Some students attend classes quite alright but, their minds are not on the lessons being taught. While lessons are not going on, they may be thinking of what games they are going to engage in. They may even be busy in the classroom reading junk. Some will be busy playing one prank or the other.

Yet, some students who have been quiet serious get to the examination hall and misinterpret questions. This may be Because of poor knowledge of English language. Once the question have been misunderstood, the answers given by such students will be totally wrong.

There are some students who fail unnecessary because they are afraid. These students get into examination room and they become so upset that they cannot remember what they know. They become so frightened that they are unable to solve problems which, before the examination they could solve very easily. The knowledge of these candidates is not properly tested. They fail because of fear.

When the Classroom Is Silent: What Happens When Education Fails Society

In a small rural town, a child wakes up before dawn, not to the sound of an alarm clock, but to the sound of duty — fetching water, helping with chores, and preparing to walk five kilometers to school. But when she arrives, the classroom is empty. No teacher. No books. No hope. This is not fiction. This is the reality many students across Nigeria and other parts of Africa face daily. Education, the supposed key to opportunity, has become a locked door for millions. At EGGCROWN Media, we believe that every story like this deserves to be heard — not as a pity piece, but as a call to action. The Hidden Crisis in Our Schools Government promises come and go. Campaigns speak of reform. Yet year after year, children sit on bare floors, learn under leaking roofs, or sometimes, never get to school at all. But the tragedy isn't just the absence of infrastructure — it’s the absence of belief. A child who grows up seeing education as broken may lose faith not just in school, but...

WHEN SOCIETY NORMALIZED PAIN AND CALLED IT STRENGTH

Somewhere along the way, our society learned a dangerous habit: we started calling pain “strength” and silence “maturity.” People are expected to endure, to move on quickly, to stay quiet, and to survive without complaint. If someone speaks about their struggles, they are often told to “be strong,” “stop overthinking,” or “focus on the positive.” While these words may sound supportive, they often dismiss real pain instead of understanding it. This is how emotional suffering becomes invisible. The Silent Rule We All Follow There is an unspoken rule in society: Don’t show weakness. From a young age, many are taught to hide tears, suppress emotions, and solve problems alone. Over time, this creates individuals who look fine on the outside but feel deeply exhausted inside. They keep going, not because they are okay, but because stopping feels unacceptable. Pain doesn’t disappear when ignored. It simply learns how to stay quiet. When Pain Becomes Normal What happens when a s...

WE ARE THE CHANGE WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT.

Everyone wants a better society. We complain about corruption, lack of empathy, broken systems, and lost values. We share posts, argue in comments, and blame leaders, technology, or “this generation.” But one uncomfortable question remains mostly unanswered: Are we willing to change ourselves? The Gap Between Words and Actions As a society, we speak beautifully about humanity. We talk about kindness, unity, and respect. Yet in daily life, we ignore each other’s pain, judge quickly, and stay silent when speaking up matters. We want honesty—but punish it. We want peace—but fuel anger. We want change—but resist discomfort. This contradiction is one of the quiet reasons real progress feels slow. Social Problems Start Small Big problems don’t begin overnight. They start with small behaviors we normalize: Ignoring injustice because it doesn’t affect us Staying silent to “avoid trouble” Choosing convenience over conscience Treating empathy as weakness When these habits repeat, the...
