RAK Foundation Explains CBT Training For JAMB Candidates 

 Real Acts of Kindness (RAK) Development Foundation, is organizing

Computer-Based Training (CBT) programme to select candidates for its free Jamb form in Badagry.

Mr Mobolaji Ogunlende, the Pioneer, RAK Foundation,explained that the training programme will enable the Foundation to know the number of students eligible for the examination.

He said:”The one-week training programme will enable the students to get used to computer skills before sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).The Foundation has established five centres with 48 computers in the three Local Government areas in Badagry where this training will commence.

“We are buying software for those computers in those centres and once we do that, all the students will have an opportunity to learn basic computing skills for a duration of one week.

“The foundation has gotten volunteer teachers who are ready to train the students on the use of computer.

“After the training for a week, we will organise a mock examination for all the candidates, so, when they do the mock examination and pass, this will qualify them for free jamb form and possible sponsorship.

“If at the end of the day, we have about 200 to 300 candidates that pass the examination, they will be given the free Jamb form, there is no limit to the numbers,” he said.

Ogunlende said that the purpose of the training programme was to prepare them for the UTME.

“They must be ready for the examination and the only to know this is when they go through the process.

“This is to ensure that we are spending our money in the right way and given the right people the opportunity.

“We are going to monitor the UTME and anyone that gets high marks could be eligible for some form of  scholarships from the foundation,” he said.

Ogunlende said that the foundation decided to do it in a different way this year.

He added:”Three years ago when we decided to provide free GCE forms for our students in Badagry, most of them failed the examination woefully.The following year, we organised coaching classes for them before the examination and alas, most of them passed with flying colors hence the stance to repeat the process

“One of them that performed excellently got a scholarship from me  and I am sponsoring his education now.This is the reason we are doing our own free Jamb form in a different way,” he said.
