Ummm... I'd just like to ask... I remember there was a time the Lagos State Government said it would begin to arrest parents whose young children weren't in school during school hours. Well, with this law blocking a lot of these kids from getting into school, does that mean the LSG would arrest their parents? Wow... Lagos ACN just continues with its streak as the most oppressive, iidiiotic government in Nigeria's recent history. 3 Likes |

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!Dude, why are you so annoyed? Were you among those who failed the placement examinations? 1 Like |

theoctopus: "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. 1 Like |

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 If only technical education were enhanced in this regards our nation's conomy will grow in leaps and bounds. Technical education is not getting the attention it deserves. This in spite of the good example Tai Solarin is said to have made with his secondary school where students are expected to farm, build, clean etc. |

baby_123: I understand your point. However, I believe naij is a member of UN and UNESCO and according to those two bodies, education to sec sch level is the right of every child. Denying them would amount to denying them their basic rights. Children are the future of tomorrow and we need to give them tools to survive and no child deserve to be neglected regardless of their capabilities or background. If the state gov feels certain kids need special facilities to learn. It's'their responsibility to either recommend them to special schools and build new ones for them. That's not parental responsibility - that's'for the gov to do. These kids are willing to get an education and they should be supported and looked after. It's'their right.

youngmonie: Well, this is absolutely wrong. Some people are slower than others. Failing maths or english, doesn't make one unintelligent, The government should have special tuitions/extra lessons for them during primary school or something to give them a better chance. There should be tests done early to determine which students are slower. I am sure if assessed in other areas they would be highly skilled in them. See autistic kids. If let's say bill gates(he dropped out anyway) failed maths and english or whatever subjects it was and he was popped off to do mechanics, We would not be on here today. Children should be encouraged and helped rather than banned. Everyone has a right to some form of education and the government needs to help students more. Find what they are passionate or skilled in and help them with that rather than banning them so they can end up being houseboys. 1 Like |

free R1: What is tax exemption? You people are wicked and criminal. You collect taxes from jobless and homeless people and come here to post trash! Awon Ole! You people are very heartless and ungodly! You treat the poor like dirt. You talk nonsense about people going back to their villages as if Lagos indigenes are not part of the victims of this your elitist and corrupt policies, geared at extracting money from the public for Tinubu and his cronies! Continue to stuff your pockets with stolen money and if you like, concession everything to Tinubu's family. One day na one day! Ole buruku! 2 Likes |

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!!! 2 Likes |

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.so, English is the S.I unit of intelligence? |

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. That would be excellent. Sometimes I do wonder if 97% of Nairalanders are bunch of illiterates! Some here claim to be graduates but can't write English. Example; - Have becomes ve or hv. - I'm becomes am or m. - And becomes nd or n. - You becomes u or yu. - What becomes wat or wt. And many more. If you use those in SMS service (which has a very low text limit), you could get away with it. But this forum can accommodate large amount of texts and files, so there's no genuine reason to not write English. I was a bit pissed when my foreign friend joked about all the, extremely, horrible English he came across on Nairaland. He said it took him about thirty minutes to read through four comments and still didn't understand everything. This problem is not only found on Nairaland. The majority of the Youth Corps members are more at home with the use of “broken English” as a means of communication! The NYSC management recently researched into what corps members were writing in the form of applications for one thing or the other and noticed that about 89% of NYSC members could not write a good application! Very embarrassing! Guys! Please, try to write English and don't be abashed if you've errors because practice makes perfect. 3 Likes |

All this money Lagos State and Nigeria is making and they still have teachers that cant read and environments that are not conducive for learning yet they want to blame the kids for ending up like they have? Lol, Nigeria is a huge joke. |

I believe every school Worldwide has a form of Examination to ensure students meet up to a required standard. This simply means Lagos public schools wants to Stop dealing With "Quantity of students" and resort to "Quality of students". |
