Lets leave parents 12 + 6 years = 18 18 + another 6 years is 24years... most graduate entry jobs are peged at 24years so if u dont enter university immediately after u will never get a good job so this age is nonsense... i think it should be 10 years NOw all of una wey go University at 20 years are you better off... answer o Bunch of failed policy 2 Likes |

All ye people, applauding this neurotic move, i would like to ask, would this apply to SanwoOlu's children? When sanwoolu's children come back from the uk with phd at 26; and become your commissioner in that future and your own kids are only just preparing for yet another neurotic move called NYSC, maybe then you would rethink this decision. Ps: i got into sec school at age 8, Stadium high school to be precise, and i turned out just fine. Married with two kids, and my life did not/was not turned upside down. 1 Like 2 Shares |

I support the policy totally. Some parents are are removing their children from primary 3 to start secondary. How do you explain children as young as 7 and 8 years old being in Jss1? |

SIRTee15:no offence meant with that what I mean is you need to rethink your understanding of what innovation means I find Nigerians to be overly sensitive looking for insults where none exists There is nothing remotely insulting in those words.

missimelda01: Why should there be an 8yr old in primary 6? 6 yrs of primary school, 3 yrs of nursery and 1 yr of prenursery which makes 10yrs if the child started as an infant straight from the labour room. Lets face the truth, private schools have destabilized the educational system in Nigeria. I am a private primary school graduate and never did Primary 6 in the early 90's. I know what I missed and how bullied I was in JSS 1. I had to change school in JSS 2 and by choice came back to JSS 1. A friend of mine whose child is 7 nearly a yr younger than my 8yr old is in Primary 3 in Abj while mine is in Primary 2 in Kaduna even when mine started school before his. My friend is not concerned about anything, he is only happy his child will be on the secondary sch at 10. My friend makes me feel bad that my older son would be through with secondary school at 17. I really desire my child to go through the entire classes of the educational system but my friend cares less. My son's school have a policy of compelling their children and parents to keep the children till primary 6 but parents are unwilling. This situation is alarming. Those who should skip a class or 2 are supposed to be geniuses who should have a special school or being home schooled. |

If someone will graduate at 18 and gains admission to school and spend 4 or 5yrs in the university without interruption then this will be ideal. But this is Nigeria were everything is topsy-turvy |

DJperdurabo:Agreed that not many 12yrs are seeking Phd program but to say every child has to be 12yrs before seeking entrance into jss1 is not the best even the universities in nigeria pegs it at 16yrs before gaining admission. All I'm saying is that 10-11yrs on the average is still ok to seek admission into jss1. |

missimelda01: It's not a big deal. I started primary 1 at 4 years of age and finished at 10 years. I finished secondary school at 16, which wasn't necessarily too fast in my days, as there were many who also finished at 16. Even though I was physically smallish in my school days, I was never mentally or cognitively deficient. |
