The South East is a welcome improvement and an indication of the changing consciousness of the people, particularly, the women.

My People:

The Tables below shows a preliminary analysis of the WAEC 2014 results for Nigeria from data recently presented by that testing body.  The candidate population, pass rate differences and gender gap are presented on a state- and geo-political basis, for the education of the reader.

There is clearly a participation and pass rate gap crisis in the North-East (pass rate less than 10%), and a gender gap in the North-West of Nigeria.  With a pass rate of above 50%, the South-East region is punching well above its weight, while Anambra's pass rate of 66% is truly commendable, all things being equal.

And there you have it.
