  2. Problem: Students Poor Performance in WAEC - SSCE • Why is Students Performance in External Examination Poor? • Because they are poorly taught. • In 2006/2007 & 2007/2008, only 23.6% and 27.0% respectively had 5 Credits and above. • Why are Students poorly taught? • Teachers are ill equipped. • Inspection Reports/Screening of Teachers.
