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...

Why Most People Lose Themselves in the Process of Trying to Win

Why Most People Lose Themselves in the Process of Trying to Win We live in a world where winning is everything. From childhood, we’re told to hustle, to outshine, to beat the competition. You must get the best grades. Secure the best job. Build the biggest house. Drive the latest car. Marry the perfect partner. And somewhere in that race… something important fades away. You. You begin to forget who you were before the chase began. You stop asking yourself if this is what you want, or if it's what the world expects of you. You start living for applause instead of purpose. The Hidden Cost of Always Competing It starts small. You stop spending time with people you love because “you’re too busy.” You abandon hobbies that bring you peace — because they “don’t pay.” You sleep less, eat worse, scroll more… just trying to keep up. And slowly, your soul begins to ache in silence. You’re surrounded by people, but you feel alone. You achieve milestones, but feel empty. You ...

The Ripple Effect of Compassion: How Small Acts of Kindness Change the World

🌍 The Ripple Effect of Compassion: How Small Acts of Kindness Change the World In today’s fast-paced and competitive world, it is easy to underestimate the power of compassion. Many people believe that only grand gestures can bring change, but the truth is that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a ripple effect that spreads further than we can imagine. From offering a smile to helping a stranger, these seemingly minor actions contribute to building a more connected and humane society. Why Compassion Matters Compassion is more than sympathy—it is the ability to understand someone else’s suffering and act to relieve it. Scientific studies show that practicing compassion not only benefits the receiver but also improves the giver’s mental and emotional well-being. It reduces stress, strengthens relationships, and increases happiness. In other words, kindness is not a weakness but a form of strength that uplifts both sides. Small Acts, Big Impact Many of us hesitate to...
