                     -    WAEC should reverse back to conducting qualifying examinations

                          thrive.
                     -    Parents to provide candidates with text books.
                     -    Government to employ qualified teachers
                     -    Teachers to employ basic concepts and principles and application of
                          such to everyday life.
                     -    Government to provide well-equipped laboratories and libraries
                     -     Teachers to drill candidates appropriately while preparing them for the
