treatise:
Good morning Nairalanders, my is son is 12years old and in JSS 3 and has been adjudged to have high grasping ability by teachers and those he's interacted with but we have made several efforts to make him have interest in his academics ; he does not have any interest. We started giving lesson teachers when he turned 3 years but he particularly does not do well in math whereas he does wonders with his laptop.

A corps member who was teaching him math casually introduced Coding to him, copied some introductory steps to his laptop and left town. Since then he's been playing with the ebooks the corps member left for him and that informed my decision to employ the services of a computer engineer who was wowed by my son's level of advancement in coding ; he's built a couple of websites though rudimentary in my consideration.

It's a fact that almost all courses in universities require math as a prerequisite in getting admission; I kindly need your advice on best approach(es) in solving this challenge.

Thanks so much great people.

@bolded, that's what I can't understand in the OP's post too.
It's impossible for a person naturally good at coding or natural tech abilities to be mathematically poor. Something must be wrong somewhere.

But against what you said. At least out of all the irrelevant subjects taught in Nigeria education system, mathematics is still in a way not that bad compared with the standard in other parts of the world. Because mathematics doesn't change or grow old. It's same basics that applies anywhere in the world. That's the good thing about mathematics. It's a reality course, you can even derive formulas yourself.
So, he should be able to flow with it and excel. Any creative, tech talented person would naturally have love or passion for mathematics because it is mentally tasking, logical, pragmatic and applicable in reality. Love for mathematics should be so natural, he would like to do calculations even without any teacher.

Interesting...
I used to be that interested in computers, laptops and phones but my parents labeled me a lazy person. Now I'm the one fixing every minor issue in their phones.

Don't treat your child the way my parents treated me, he'll resent you for it.

GlorifiedTunde:
Please look for Tech hubs like Andela and Cchub for him

CSTRR:

Why am I snooping?

Because I assumed you were pretty and I was right.

Alusiizizi:


The trouble with mathematics education in Nigeria is that rote learning overwhelmingly dominates over analytical and problem solving ability.
Boys like the OP's son are simply not challenged by this style of education and simply go "offline". Emphasis is placed on memorizing and applying equations instead of deriving them or using them to solve problems.

Okay, a bimbo as usual.
Why am I not surprised?

I do not see a problem in this
Just find him an IT mentor that will direct him on how to succeed in the IT industry without a BSC
Gradually enroll him for relevant introductory IT coding training then since he doesn't have a BSC he will need relevant certifications CISCO etc
Just find him a mentor first

Bhadmus7:
The world is evolving right now..don't make the mistake of allowing him waste his precious years in the university hustling for certificate..
Instead, enrol him into some Tech Hub and I.T hub, let him develop his coding skills..
He will be forever grateful to u
