ACADEMIC PROBATION
In view of the need to heighten academic performance of students in general and to equally stimulate their best for core subjects such as Maths and English, and core subjects, the management of the school has introduced a sit back order/ resit policy. This simply implies that all students must score an average of 75% in Maths and English and other core subjects to escape relegation in our probationary module which in essence is a remedial arrangement. Therefore, this probational module is also specifically designed to identify areas where students demonstrate under-performance or academic weakness.
Having identified such areas of weakness, close attention is payed to these crop of students to ensure they build a sense of confidence in themselves and towards the subject question.
Suffice it to equally say that the student only exit the probationary module only after having demonstrated marked improvement in his/her area of academic weakness.
This remedial arrangement are of two sorts:
- The short term module: this occurs after every termly assessment or examination. Here, students with less than 70% average (or their CGPA in all subjects is less than 70%) are made to compulsorily undertake extra study hours and remedials in order to prepare for and be coached in the subject in question. It is after remedial and prep extension that the student examined to see the progress through performance.
- The long term module: this usually occurs in the third term of every academic year. Students who record a –less-than-70% performance average in Maths, English, and any other core subject are compulsorily asked to repeat the class. This is so that the student is able to show significant improvement on their academic performance.
