uracocksucker:
bull shit!!!!
fact is your cv shouldn't be more than 2 pages else ppl will get bored now if you can't talk about ur adult life in 2pages ....dont apply for a job.

I see you just want to write.
The issue here is about inclusion of FSLC in a CV and not the number of pages.
Including that does not take more than two lines and how could that affect your two page CV theory?

The essence is to determine your true age especially for govt and pensionable jobs

ashieduplus:


Wrong.

He is very very correct

It's unnecessary except it's requested for by recruiters.

If you're applying for government job through the Federal civil service commission. You need to add it and be sure you have the certificate. It is part of the requirements.

emonkey:


Just imagine your advantage , when the boss finds that you also attended the same primary school as himself.

what of primary school drop out.....?

Add it only if you are sure you went to the same primary school with the interviewer

No, only secondary school and upper. They're interested in your relevant and most recent qualifications.

it's not important, but it's necessary

Its a waste of space.
Your primary school doesnt show if you can or cannot do the job.
And anyone who sees a university degree obviously knows you went to a secondary and primary school.
No need for putting something irrelevant again.

FriedPlantain:
I'm sure you also have a Junior Secondary school certificate, why didn't you include it on your CV?

I don't add it on my cv

linusbnn:


He is very very correct

I've gotten jobs in two of Nigeria's most prestigious firms. I didn't include it on my resume.

It's unnecessary.

FSLC is an important addition in a CV as it helps determine the actual or approximate age of prospective Applicant for employment. This is apart from Birth Certificates and Affidavits of age found in the official files of employees.

Necessary because it is used to varify ones age.Beside HR personnels are intrested in knowing ur academic profile using primary certificate as a starting point.

ednut1:
not necessary

Question that deserves no answer!

Primary school cert is the bedrock and it should be included in a cv.

Nonsense so much rubish, u can add it if uve got it cos I don't think it will affect u anyways so no harm if u or u not add it so y not add it to b at ease. But some organization r bleeped,when some1 has his Bsc,NYSC disch cetcate+many oda jinger de swags they're r still asking for PRIMARY. R u a politician

U never ready plenty abi..You wan fill up CV space.. lol..
I think it's ok but in most cases not required..

missKiffy:

If that's the highest level of education that person has, that is fine. However, I would not expect potential employers to look for your primary school experience when your resume says you have a masters, a bachelor's or even SSCE. How could you have gotten them without primary school degree? In my opinion, it's a waste of space on your resume, unless that's all you have.

9jatatafo:

I disagree.
Some folks attended nursery schools before primary. That is the real bedrock. Are u saying nursery school achievements should be on someone's resume as well?
I'd toss that resume away and look at others of I was the hiring manager.

osimataylor:

d age on ur waec certificate is sufficient, i do not include in my CV and interviewers (kpmg,gva,stanbic,pwc) hv faced never asked

Abugab:
FSLC is actually one of the most important thing to have in a CV.
Most thorough and well organized HR departments in good organizations even go as far as verifying them.
Very important.

cc: misskiffy

I totally disagree. its unnecessary and can even cost you not being shortlisted. I would thrash your CV if I was employing.
Primary education is the basic and compulsory all over the world. its called Universal Basic Education (UBE) and it is included in the MDGs (pls google for meaning).
It may only be included in your C.V. if you stopped your education at the o' level. Do NOT include if you have post secondary education.
You may also include it if it is so required. For instance, a driver or a domestic job seeker would be required to include it if CVs are asked for.

Primary cert is ur foundation. Even if u go to the best uni, if the foundation is wrong you are a joker. Please add it.

Is not necessary

It's very important if you are applying for Nigeria Police Force jobs.

You will receive a lot of different answers, I say it depends on your level of experience / seniority of the job you are going for

If your job is entry level or if you do not have a university degree then you may want to include Primary school education , after that stage I don't believe you should add it except if requested for instance in the employer's application form. Your secondary school education should suffice.

Employers focus on QUALIFICATIONS...you do not gain any qualifications at primary school

It's not necessary at all. Very unprofessional.

SmartMugu:

I disagree.

Is there a national exam for nursery as you have for primary school to secondary? You are equally telling me that once you have your B.Sc then inclusion of secondary school is baseless.
