theoctopus: What is so stup1d about this position is that they dont even know how backward it sounds. In 2013, to think that education is still all about getting 60% is so sad! Please they should send some people to Japan and learn how a modern education system should run. It is about training and preparing kids for their future, not awarding scores and grading students. So daft, this LASG!

theoctopus:
Are jobless people supposed to pay taxes? Please answer me or shut up!

seedord247: What about Egun?

Mynd_44: Those public secondary schools are getting crowded mehn.....they should not be thrown open to everyone. If a student fails placement exams, he/she should try again next year or go learn a trade

baby_123:

If they are special needs children, they should not be in regular schools. Their parents can take care of that problem. These Lagos state schools already help the poor with education. The school fees are cheap enough for the poor to afford. All they raised was the standard. A poor child can be as smart as a rich child if they are determined and have access to a good education. They can do just as well as any child from a better background. A lot of private schools cheat for their students so their parents can get their moneys worth. This will target students who are in school based on merit. And parents will put in more effort to have their kids ready for a better education. At the end of the day, it only helps everyone. If a special needs child is in a regular school with little or no standard, how would their needs ever be considered when regular kids have their own needs neglected. . What you are saying is a bad standard of education is better than none at all. With better performing students, better teachers will and should be employed.

macjive01: Thank God!

lol... They should go and learn trade Nigeria is in dear need of more mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, hairstylist, gardeners, skilled drivers, electricians, skilled bricklayers, They can serve their country join the armed forces....God there are lots of options in Nigeria ooo everybody cannot be accountant or doctor or lawyer

free R1:

"Jobless people" with no income are still required to obtain a tax clearance. What they get is a tax exempt certificate just like startups or companies running at a loss. Don't mistake tax clearance for paying tax. A lot go into paying tax. For those who go about paying 5k, I am sure it is out of ignorance or they fall into the unskilled labour category. If this is the case, because their income cannot be properly determined, LASG has a 3k flat rate that they are asked to pay "they are not jobless" (Maybe it has been increased now).

Not paying tax is a serious offence (carries a jail time). It is encouraged to know the tax policy of your state and always get your tax clearance at the beginning of every year.

obo_man: Our leaders always demonstrate how clueless and foolish they are...........................

Why ban an 'unintelligent' student from school when a good education is all he/she needs to become more intelligent?

If we all ban people we class as 'unintelligent' in school, where do you want them to go? The further you drive these students way, the more they become disenfranchised, thereby making them a menace to society.....


A student we class 'unintelligent' 2day ( maybe due to family issues, health reasons, poverty) might overcome those obstacles and become more intelligent 2morw. Most students in Nigeria struggle not because they are stupid but because there are external factors affecting their studies....


If schools are then turning these students away, then they should bow their heads in shame.....


Instead of her to be looking at teachings standards and teaching facilities, she isn't. As a result, these poor souls will have to bear the brunt of her cluelessness....


Ban disruptive students, not 'unintelligent' student.... Any student that shows willingness to study, no matter his/her level of intelligence should be allowed in schools...

Let their WAEC and JAMB results be the judge!!! Why label a kid so early in life as 'unintelligent' when he might be the one to take us to Mars 2morw?


If 40% of student don't make it to SS classes because of poor grades, the system has effectively offloaded millions of 13/14 years old into the street, with no alternatives.

It won't provide apprenticeship scheme and yet wanna offload them?


Our leaders are highly unintelligent!!!

JECBOSS: In as much as I understand what the Lagos state govt. is trying to convey, I think Nairaland should replicate this. I'm of the opinion that poor command of English language as usually observed on Nairaland is symptomatic of our falling standards in education.

GustavoFring: They should first ban all the dull ex-students in Government-like Patience Goodluck

PAGAN 9JA:
I wish Nairaland banned all those who profess the christian faith.

StarFlux: Very sad, everyone deserves a chance.

Start offering education in our mother tongues instead of this English gibberish.
