Academic grading in Nigeria
In Nigeria, the academic grading system scales from A (First class) to F (fail). Below is the grading system of Nigerian schools.
Nigeria offers six years of basic education, three years of junior secondary education, and three years of senior secondary education. If a student chooses to continue higher education this is then four years of tertiary/university education.
Mathematics and English language are compulsory for all students in Nigeria although maths may not be required for some courses in higher institutions - this is dependent on admissions criteria.
Most Common
5-point University (Example - University of Lagos)
Postgraduate
Not all universities use merit score - often pass 40%+ or distinction 70% grade given
Note that NUC (Nigeria University Commission) has expressed strong recommendation to upgrade passing scores in Nigeria universities to 45 which by implication would phase out 40 as pass mark for undergraduate studies. Additionally, to discontinue awarding degrees below 3rd class (if all universities ultimately comply).
