I don't understand. Why was your form2 not converted to Jss2? So your school was running SSS and form formats simultaneously?

grandstar:
I got a surprise for you guys.

I was is the last set of Form 1 to Form 5 students. That was 1984-1889. When I was in Form 2,, the students that got admitted in 1985 were the first JSS 1 students.

My classmates who repeated joined the JSS set. That was brutal. They ended up spending 7 years in secondary school rather than the 5 years we spent. When I was in Form 5 ready to pack and leave, they were in SSS 1.

In 1984, the N50 groundnut today was 10 kobo. Soft drinks sold for 40k. A sweetened peanut like the "Burger peanut" sold for 50 kobo. Meatpie was 50k.

Life then was considered hard but in retrospect, much easier than today

In 1986, the Babangida government commenced the Structural Adjustment Programme. This led to the devaluation of the Naira. The effect was devastating.

Salary earners saw their earning drop in real terms. They suffered the most. The devaluation commenced the mass exodus of Nigerians overseas to search of foreign currency which was now king. Everyone wanted to Japa.

Many nigerians who had their children in British secondary school brought their children back home. My secondary school suddenly had students with a British accents. I can mimic a British accent down to this day.

Most were from British public schools. That's what the British call their elite secondary schools. One of the returnees had a very strong posh accent and snooty manners. He would fit neatly in the British Royal family. He is back in the UK and was a top 50 fencer tbere. Fencing is for the high class class of society. Not for paupers like me.

Poverty is really dealing with somanyy people.

This must be poverty induced thinking, to go back to Jss1 for money.

Yes. New intakes after my joined the 6-3-3-4 system

I think thats how all schools did. They weren't converted. They let all those in Form 1 - form 5 finish their program

After I finished form 5,i had to go for remedial classes for maths especially as form 5 maths was inadequate to pass Jamb.

After form 1 - form 5, you could then decide to go for lower 6 and upper 6. The higher program basically got cancelled after my form 5. If I had done lower and upper 6, I would have had no need for remedial classes.

uglodoh:

I do not agree to this. I was one of the first set of students that started 6-3-3-4 set. That was in 1990 . The form 5 students we met were made to repeat the class. They were the first set of sss3 students
