Except you are applying for a government job it is very much unnecessary.

Friedplantain

Very correct! Plus it takes CV space. Only your higher education is required. Even SSCE should be omitted.

It all depend on your latest qualification or the job you are applying for. If you are a BSc holder or have related qualification, then primary school cert is irrelevant except in a case where it is recommended.

The most relevant certificates on a cv are the two most recent qualification. BSc or its equivalent and 0 level certificate is enough for a graduate.

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

We did the 6-6-4 system now, JSSCE is almost not there.

Re: Should Primary School Education Be Added To A CV? by Nobody: 7:15am On Aug 23, 2015

you can include it to occupy space, but i don't have it on my cv. if you can see my B.Eng there and you still doubt i ever attended a primary school, you are on your own

This primary sch issue almost cost me a job of recent. Someone like me that had problem passing waec ..I finished pry sch 1997 and sec sch 2003 but didnt my papers and took me four years to make it..I made my papers 2007 and wrote 2007 in my CV. The employer asked me that according to my CV I spent 10 years in sec sch. In my opinion I think it's not necessary to include it when one is applying for a job in a private firm and compulsory to include in a govt job

As I no finish primary school before I write common entrance, how I go take include am for my CV. On a serious note, I moved from pry 5 to jss1, and I don't have it in my CV, it has also not affected my job search.

What you believe is what works for you

my brother, it will affect you when u start looking for government work. they need it to verify ur age claim and oda things. I used to think it wasn't necessary myself, had to go back to Cameroun where I did my FSLC to collect the certificate bfr I cld get d job.

me I did a french system of education: 7-7-3.it means I went to primary 7 and SS4, I did my university here 4years. if na french system university wld hv been 3 years. the equivalent to JSSCE there is called Brevet, it more difficult than WEAC/NEC0. the advantage of the system makes u stand out and also u learn an additional language from ur SS1 - u choose from English, Russian, German, Spanish, Italian or mandarin- the french Baccalaureat, which is taken at end of d sec schl like the Nigerian SSCE is equivalent to an OND when it is translated by the French Embassy. With the baccalaureat u can start direct entry in any Nigerian university if u want to study foreign languages...

Re: Should Primary School Education Be Added To A CV? by PresidKing(m): 4:30pm On Aug 23, 2015

Whatever you put on your CV depends on these few things below:

1. What kind of job you are you applying for?
2. What is your current situation for applying for that job, career, survival, sustaining or professional?
3. What is your experience so far in your career?
4. What is the requirement for applying for that job?
5. Does where you are applying for have a CV format you must use?

Currently, am well experience in my field and I don't even have my secondary school in my CV not to mention the primary school and my CV is about to enter fourth page, so you can imagine.

Hope that helps, and if you need a good cv format, we can talk about it.

Teempakguy:
I guess it's pointless. I mean, if you have a degree from OAU in your CV, isn't it obvious that you attended a primary school?

I agree...it is pointless.....you have to had risen way above primary school level education to get to degree level......but....maybe you were home schooled... or attended special schools...but regardless ...it is pointless indeed. Is like "Coach, seeing that you just timed me running the 100 metres in 9.6 seconds...can you put me on the team to represent the country? ...do you need me to bring you videos showing I learned to creep?.....and when I was learning to walk?"
