Mixed reactions have continued to trail the introduction of 39 new subjects for annual examinations by the West African Examination Council (WAEC).
Mr Godwin Uwagbale, the Principal, African Pride Empowerment Empire, an educational non-governmental organisation, applauded the introduction of the 39 new subjects saying it would expose students to more knowledge on technology.
He urged that schools be properly equipped to effectively teach the subjects which, he said, required much practical.
"This is the reason secondary schools need to be well funded, especially government-owned ones; that also requires that private school owners must upgrade their facilities, Uwagbale said.
Mr Ayo Shonubi, immediate past President, National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, Lagos State Chapter said the initiative was a bold one. He, however, urged effective implementation.
Mr Bona Akuiwu, a parent suggested that the number of subjects be reduced to avoid over labouring students.
The WAEC Acting Head, Test Development Division, Mrs Olayinka Ajibade, had announced the introduction on January 31 in Lagos.
