Speaking yesterday in Abuja, Mr Jalaludeen attributed the high performance of Nigerians at the college to the quality of education they acquired at the basic level before travelling abroad. Nigeria has one of the highest student populations in the UK and of late, they have been excelling beyond belief with countless numbers of them graduating with first class degrees.
Mr Jalaludeen said: “The performance of Nigerian students in Abbey DLD Group of Colleges has been very encouraging and we have been very proud of this because this is seen almost every year. The last result released in August showed that a Nigerian student, Ifeoluwa Akinmolu, who did four subjects, graduated with four A stars in all the subjects.
“As I talk to you, she has been admitted into University of London to read chemical engineering because of her performance at the college. Nigerian students complete their secondary education with O’Level certificates and the minimum requirement for admission into UK universities is ‘A’ Level certificates."
He added that Abbey DLD Group of Colleges is a UK-based preparatory college for students of between the ages of 15 and 18 seeking to study in UK universities. According to Mr Jalaludeen, the observation that most Nigerian students complete their secondary education before 18 years with O’Level results led to the establishment of the college.
“So, what we do in the college is to prepare the students for examinations that will qualify them for admission. Our courses include comprehensive GCSE, A Level Programmes and a number of international foundation programmes,” he said.
Mr Jalaludeen called for the exemption of Nigerians seeking international education from currency restrictions policy of the federal government to ameliorate the suffering of Nigerian students abroad. Nigerian students studying for university degrees across the UK has trebled over the last eight years to a staggering 17,640 according to statistics published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
