Continuous Assessment is 30% of the examination marks a student
scores at the end of every session of the academic year. The scores are
from three consecutive tests given to students before the final
examination which scores 70%. Continuous Assessment does not comprise
only written test. Projects, attendance, students’ participation in the
class are also awarded marks ND counts s CA.
Continuous Assessment is apart from being added to the final
examination score is adorable made use of in case the student did not
sit for final examination due to illness, bereveament, emergency
transfer and so on.
The Lagos State Governor is considering using students’ first and
second term CA scores to promote students to the next class in case
schools are unable to be opened this year due to Covid19 pandemic. This
means that schools are most likely to open next year. But this depends
on the authoritative decision at the Federal level.
It should be recalled that Lagos State still ranks first in the total
number of COVID19 cases and deaths in Nigeria. This is a cause of
concern and fear for parents, students and government in the immediate
opening of schools for academic activities. The scourge is still raging
high, infection cases are on the high and death tolls alarming. Caution
must not be thrown to the winds. Life is precious.
