Celebration by some students of arts and humanities over the Federal Government’s announcement that mathematics was no longer compulsory for admission may have been cut short as the government has made a U-turn, insisting that the subject remains mandatory for admission into tertiary institutions.
Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa in a statement signed by Boriowo Folasade, the Director of Press and Public Relations in the ministry, announced the reversal, just as parents, teachers faulted the mathematics waiver, and advocated the pass grade.
