Nigeria’s Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika has made his thoughts known on the extra lessons phenomenon in Nigerian education. Students are meant to close by 2pm in most parts of country but many still stay behind for extra lessons or attend tutorial centres after school. Some still get private coaching from tutors at home. Reacting to this situation, the Minister took to Twitter to post:

“I just don’t understand extra lessons for our kids, It is either that they are not taught properly or there is an element of corruption! In our time most schools closed by 1pm. We had time to rest, play, run errands for parents, read, go to Qur’anic school/Bible study and bond…”

This is something that some Nigerians have also spoken about but the trend continues partly because parents these days work long hours and feel that their children staying at school for longer periods is a safer option than leaving them at home at the mercy of house-helps, relatives or neighbours.

There are also some parents that believe that their children perform better with such extra lessons and coaching.

What do you think about the minister’s comment — hit or miss?

Most parents use it keep the children Busy while they use that time for their own hustle

I never had problems with extra lessons back then.

what I hated most was holiday lessons and home work, it seems the teacher never wanted me to enjoy my holidays.

Thank God, am through from all that shits

Some schools will even skip the normal school lessons for the extra curriculum lessons

I don't agree some children are slow learners hence the need for extra lessons to help them catch up with their mates in school.

If you had received extra lesson in morality,


You wouldnt have scammed Nigerians through the failed Air Nigeria with its Emulsion-paint logo!


Yeye Buhari Mis-Minister!

neither hit nor miss.
some kids actually need it.
that it wasnt a phenomenon in his era has nothing to do with this dispensation.
so many distractions that never existed then are now serious demons students need to wrestle with.
things have changed, thats just the summary.

religious bigot... go to Quranic school,

I don't agree some children are slow learners hence the need for extra lessons so they can catch up with their mates in school

D

even closing 4pm is a big problem.1 pm is ok for kids.

sometimes,I do wonder how schools expect kids to become better in academic by making them have one hr lessons after spending 7hrs in school....most Nigerians schools are very poor psychologically.how do they expect kids to keep assimilating what they are being taught after 7 hrs.the brain needs rest....same school still bombard kids with unending assignment

schools should close by 1:30 pm allow kids to go home and rest or watch cartoons,so their brains get energised for the next day's task

with due respect minister, u are not totally right. have you considered what was obtainable to you then and what is available today? to whom much is given much is expected

ASUU will make sure they rest by the time they get into a Nigerian university...

extra lesson conducted by school is the problem,not the ones conducted at home

Extra lesson na scam. Just a way for private schools to get extra cash.

What does the school teach from 8am to 2pm from Monday to Friday that they dey still need extra lessons?


But what do I know?

Extra lessons is a scam... What re they teaching them..

Allow your kids to rest for God sake.. No b only book they make person responsible or rich..
