ITbomb:My elder sis is just two years older than me and she finished secondary school at 14. She had double promotion twice and my parents rejected the 3rd attempt. So know not everyone follows "the convention",and before you question the school system, her primary education was in the early 90's in from a school who's staff was mostly ghanians,liberians,Europeans and a handful of Nigerians. I even wrote and passed my entrance exams from primary 4 and got enrolled in secondary school to try and bridge the gap btw me and her and still couldn't catch up. So son,its very possible. |

Whether good or bad, I'll never allow my kid attend a University if s/he's not up to 16. Trust me, I know how it feels like to be the youngest psychologically in midst of your so called mates. #talkingfromexprience. 1 Like |

I dont knw why some of u are against him. Dont u see the job criteria these days.. For graduate trainee:- Min. 2.1; Msc; most not be older than 23yrs So if one finished secondary at 16yrs plus jamb wahala then one gain admission @ 18-19yrs. Go for 4-5yrs course plus NYSC that guy should be at min.23-24yrs... U neva talk of Msc oo... they dude is already not qualified for the next graduate trainee opportunity. ur kids education these jet age. plz fast forward them.. jst make sure u re monitoring them... simple with God they will b fine ok. |

paulsir:faster is not necessarily better because maturity matters. in a university, there are different kind of people your child will meet. some will have good influence on your child, some will have bad influences on your child and there will be peer pressure, if a child does not have the mental maturity to handle it he might be misled and no parental supervision, the freedom might get to his/her head 2 Likes |

I believe it all depends on the maturity of the child. I finished my tertiary education at 18, didn't affect me psychologically and people did not believe I was even 18 at the time due to my sense of reasoning.....from Uniben btw so nothing like private university ish 1 Like |

voltron:Yes. Very true. That's why I said in my last paragraph that I wouldn't encourage it. The mind might not be able to handle it, it has adverse effects on some kids. Some kids can, some can't |

maasoap:I guess you didn't understand the grammar I used. The guy said categorically that the kid is gonna suffer. Like he was entirely sure about it. My answer to him was that, while I don't recommend it, it's not 100% that the kid is gonna suffer it. Some do suffer, some don't (Like me). Thanks |

Life is more than being an intelligent person. Development is beyond academic proficiency. There is need also for EMOTIONAL development for each level of schooling. Legitimate parental pride in having a brilliant child may be counterproductive for the child! He may be object of bullying by mates even older juniors. Such innocent kids may be initiated into cult groups especially if in the boarding school! 1 Like |

I'm 19. I'm in 500L. I've never regretted having a quick education. Maybe it's because I act older than I actually am. So it depends on the kid. But I really don't see any disadvantages in finishing school quickly & facing the real world. 1 Like 1 Share |

I was actually 11 years in JSS3 it wasnt easy at all, most especially being bullied by your mates I also repeated SS2 but right naw (18 years) am in 300level in a federal university so cool but the stress is much. If I hadn't repeated the class I would have been in my final year right now |

ITbomb: In my own opinion, i think you are wrong in saying that. I know of some people that graduated from secondary school at the age of 14 or 15 years and are far more matured in all ramifications than the older ones. Not only in books. Infact, you cannot ride them cos i went to a boarding school, instead they will be the one to ride you sef. It was in ss3 we got to know their ages, by that time we all were surprised because they actually didn't behave like their age. They were so strong, wise n matured psychologically than the seniors. So, you see, age is just a number. God blessed some people with wisdom, knowledge that u can't start to phantom. And who says they can never compete in the real world- i think you have not really met great people. There are some people that are so mature that u won't believe it when they tell you their real age. People meet them for advise. You should never judge people by their age and stop making generalising. I understand what you are trying to say- esp for those rich kids who are intelligent and brilliant, but nothing more outside that. But for those kids that went to federal schools they tend to be more matured In conclusion, i think the right thing is for parents to study their child n assess him/her overall to actually know if he is just good @ books n not yet psychologically matured. In a situation where the guy is just brilliant n nothing else, they shouldn't allow him have a double promotion, so as to mingle with people of his age group well to know how blend well n grow up rightly. 2 Likes 1 Share |
