Tope Adenuga, a Nigerian education advocate based in England, has called on Nigerian schools to adopt a strategic classroom feedback system commonly used in the UK, known as the Module Evaluation Survey (MES).
In a reflection shared recently, Adenuga explained that MES is a simple yet effective process where students provide anonymous feedback on each subject and teacher at the end of every term.
According to him, the data collected from these evaluations is then used by schools to drive improvement and inform decision-making.

“Here in England, students give feedback anonymously about their subjects and teachers. It helps the school understand what’s working and what’s not,” he said.
Adenuga noted that such feedback enables school management to:
1. Match teachers to the classes or levels where they perform best.
2. Identify subjects that are poorly structured or delivered.
3. Develop targeted training or professional development plans for teachers.
4. Pinpoint areas where educators need support in improving their teaching methods.
He emphasized that no term should pass—particularly in Nigerian high schools—without students being asked to evaluate their learning experiences confidentially. “It’s good data. And here, they use it well. I believe our schools back home can benefit greatly from it,” he concluded.
