A boy won a game at a birthday party I attended with my kids yesterday and was asked his name, age and class.

He said he is 9yrs old and in JSS 2. We were surprised. In the course of trying to get him to answer some questions relating to his school his brother came out. Guesd what? He is 10 years and in JSS 3.

They both have the same trend. How did they get there? Wait ooh, they will complete their secondary education by 13 years. What of the minimum entry age into university of 16yrs? What of psychological developments?

What is your take on this? Before now I thought that my 12yrs old child in SS1 is too fast and my husband thought of steeping her down last two years until I met those kids.

it depends on the individual. I wrote SSCE at 13yrs entered university at 14 though psychologically it wasn't easy for me to cope. I excelled well in academics but interacting with people was not funny cos I still acted childish.

while my brother on d other hand who went thru the same process was very wise and can never be intimidated
