It is amazing what makes the news these days. If we cannot find local news, then look to the Caribbean. If there is no news in the Caribbean, there is news in the world. There is news in Sudan, Nigeria, South Africa, Israel, Cuba, the US, and various other countries.
Students who fail to matriculate are not allowed to take their college examinations. That should not be news. That is the normal procedure in the institution. The students who were not allowed to take their college examinations, as reported to the media, could be asked to leave the institution if they fail to meet the college’s matriculation requirements.
These institutions are facilitating the admission of these students without them meeting the matriculation requirements, and the students turn around and bite the hand that is trying to help them.
Here are some solutions:
- The colleges could stop admitting students who do not meet the matriculation requirements.
- The student council could meet with the college administration and ask them to continue with the policy while the council develops a programme to help the students.
The student councils could then organize afternoon classes for students who have not fulfilled matriculation requirements.
We must remember that years ago, potential teachers used to work under the supervision of the school principal as monitors. They had to do the Jamaican First, Second, and Third Year examinations. They had to pass all subjects at each sitting. Things are easier these days for students to get into teachers' colleges.
If you cannot meet the matriculation requirements of the college, then you should forget teaching as a profession. Complaining to the media cannot matriculate you. You will continue to be a wannabe teacher.

Herein lies a big part of the failure in schools. Long ago one entered the pedagogical arena because of altruism....they felt a call to educate others, so often the best and brightest did venture into the field. I was fortunate to have had such teachers. Sadly, today there is a dearth of academic rigor. Lord help us....Foundation fren say so.
ReplyDeleteThis article brings to the forefront of my memory the Cornwall College motto, Disce aut Discede—“Learn or Leave.”
ReplyDeleteHence, if students find that they cannot handle the course of study, they should recognize their shortcomings and consider pursuing another vocation.
