OUR CURRICULUM
Academic Structure
Students in each year are divided into Six class sections labelled A through G. A class teacher is attached to each section and remains with it for at least one academic session. There are three opportunities for class teachers to meet formally with their students on a weekly basis:
- Daily, during registration
- Weekly, Guidance lessons
- Weekly, Personal-Social Education (PSE) Class teachers are responsible for the pastoral care of all the students in their class and try as much as possible to get a true portrait of each student to enable them to make useful reports to the Principal and their parents. They constantly monitor the behaviour and work of each student and try to see that their classes obey the rules and regimen of the college. Subject teachers are divided into departments and faculties, each supervised by a head of department and a head of faculty. The heads of faculties organise regular faculty meetings and also meet with the Principal and the Vice Principal Academics as a group and on an individual basis. Likewise, the heads of departments.
Academic probation
Academic probation is a programme geared towards getting our weak students to work at an acceptable pace, through a close supervision of their studies, monitoring of their study habits and teaching them study skills. A student is placed on academic probation when he or she scores below our least acceptable grade of 50% in any of our continuous assessment tests or exams. Academic probation is also recommended for students that have been absent from regular class instructions for any reason. The student on academic probation does not take part in the following extra-curricular activities: clubs, choir, altar servers, athletic teams, weekend videos, and visiting with a friend’s family on visiting days. The student on academic probation will spend those extra-curricular activities period in study hall under close supervision that ensures progress in those subjects and areas where the student has difficulties or performs poorly. The head of the counselling department and class teachers closely supervise students on academic probation and every two weeks these officers give the Principal a brief report on the academic progress of the students. Subject teachers may also be asked to write a report on a student on academic probation. A student on academic probation will remain in this status until the next academic assessment after the grades for that assessment are published. The student will go out of academic probation when there is an adequate improvement in grades, serious improvement in studies is displayed, and an increase in earnest academic purpose is noted. Federal Science and Technical College , Uromi does not want students to be on academic probation, and therefore calls on other students to assist those on academic probation to come off probation as soon as possible. Academic improvement is our goal for all students, and we hope that this negative motivation will help those on probation.
