Educationist tackles Richlove's NSMQ comments

Richlove Oduro has become an online sensation after her remarks about the National Science Maths Quiz. Many have shared their views on her comment. That notwithstanding, an Educationist has highlighted several reasons Richlove's argument is flawed.

"There are several tools for measuring the quality of a school. Number one is the WASSCE. So if there are 10 schools that sit for the WASSCE and one particular school or in one particular school, a lot of the students do well in the WASSCE, we can fairly say that school is better than the others. So, WASSCE results can sometimes determine which school is better than the other.

"Number two is sporting activities. Sometimes, if 10 schools compete in inter-school competitions or interregional competitions and a particular school does very well, we can fairly say that that school is better than the other facilities in a school. So if a particular school has a lot of facilities over another school, we can say that that school is better than the others.

"So in terms of measuring the standards of a school or the quality of a school, there are different tools that are used to measure. And one of those tools, whether we like it or not in our time, is the National Science and Maths Quiz. The reason is that there is a lot of time, preparation, commitment to learning, and training that goes into this, right? I mean, into preparing the students. So when they come, and one school performs better than the other, then it is fair to conclude that this school is better than the rest of the schools."

"Dude take her off the screen and let her stay focused in school, the abuse and dragging on social media is not healthy for her. My humble opinion."
