The 2014 NECO June/July has been released!
The National Examinations Council (NECO) has announced
that 52.29 percent of the candidates that sat for June/July
2014 Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination
(SSCE) passed at credit level in five subjects, including
English Language and mathematics.
The Registrar and Chief Executive officer of the Council,
Professor Promise Okpala, who announced the result in
Minna, said 74.30 percent of the candidates made five
credits and above generally.
He said that 978,886 candidates of the 989,622 that
registered sat for the examination, which was conducted
in 76 subjects.
Of 989,622 candidates that wrote the examination, 72.58
percent scored credit level and above in English Language,
while 69.49 percent made similar grades in mathematics.
In sciences, 72.86 percent of candidates that sat for
Chemistry had credits, while 69.38 percent of physics
candidates had credit levels and in biology 67.83 percent
of the candidates made credit grades.
Okpala said that beyond the cost of running the
examination, insecurity in many parts of the country
grossly affected the logistic operations of the council
during the school based examination.
The registrar also said that efforts of the council at
reducing examination malpractices paid off as only 0.44
percent of those who sat for the examination were
involved in malpractices.
