Nigerian journalist, Oseni Rufai, has triggered the minds of many Nigerians after he shared a picture of a 1953 exam script of First School Leaving Certificate Examination (FSLC).
Netizens were wowed at how high the bar of education was at that time. Some went on to argue that this examination question is a Senior School Leaving certificate examination standard.
Others marvelled at the sophistication of students that sat for the examination. They revelled in the fact that even artisans who didn’t further their education at that time (1950s) still had a degree of academic proficiency which can’t be seen in the present generation who stopped in the same level of education as the dropouts of the 1950s.
