That's nonsense. After entering school at eighteen, going through strike and unnecessary omissions and carryover in school, and then wait for 1 to two years before going for NYSC. Then spend like one year at NYSC. By the time you will be looking for job, you will be around 30. When they will be advertising for jobs, they will tell you they need people below 24 years. 1 Like |

Nigeria Polpulation Census will cash out. They have been selling birth certificates to people since 100AD. The parents will start falsifying their children ages. |

Mercury12:Why do you it it's good for government to decide when you should attend university? What's the advantage of going to the university at age 18? Has any study been carried out to show that kids do better in university when 18 years and older? |

Good one, our universities are now looking like a glorified secondary school with underage age children litering the environment. Love the good old days. |

Dialpad: They should go and learn apprenticeship that will add value to them. You see Asian country before going into high institutions you must have learnt a skill. |

2023Blessed: You will never know how it affected you. You are just being sentimental here. Even in developed societies children are not rushed over there. It's the same system of education but short cut has always be our problem here. |

Nazgul: That's not even the issue because you can learn any hand work at the time or do some online studies. My own problem is all those companies that will say between the age of 21-25 should only apply. They should have just made it 16yrs which is pretty reasonable for me |

I think 18 is to late to start writing jamb especially knowing how the exam csn be and how competitive it is to enter. we also know the strict age limits for entry level jobs in Nigeria. How do they meet up with these strict criterias in future in the job market? Let's stop thinking backwards. |

Hausa man will alway be foolish no matter how old. They think every child is dull as theirs. When will they stop under age almajiri loitering the streets in the north. Why will they stop the under age marriage ? Hypocrites. Have they solve the problem of strike? The Nigerian education usually take a nose dive in any administration where Hausa man in minister of Education.... Pls southern here don't be DECIEVED to keep your child at home till 18 ooo. They can do online studies of foreign countries.... Nigeria is not serious about any policy. Any government smoker can wake up and make any statement and ignorant bloggers will say the FG say...... NIGERIA IS GONE Adenugay: |

Re: FG Sets 18 Years As Minimum Entry Age Into Tertiary Institutions by Felicox(m): 3:32am On Apr 23 |
Well, I can't say that I am surprised seeing comments of a lot of person's in support of this. It's practically expected. But for me, all it shows is backward thinking. In a world where we have 20 and 21 year olds as ceo's and director's of companies, here someone who probably has raised kids who gained admission before 18 is saying that young school leavers should have to wait until they are 18 before they can get admission. Are we going forward or backward? Everytime they are talking about skills acquisition, what is the university meant for? For certificate acquisition? As far as I know, the university is supposed to be the foremost skills acquisition center, but instead of the government ensuring that everything is put in place so that whatever skill a student was supposed to get in school is effectively acquired, they are busy looting the country and talking about skills acquisition. It's all backward thinking at the end of the day, and I wonder when all of these will end. |

Minister just want act... This is not a necessary policy. It will mess the educational system further up. 6_3_3_4 is 16rs So a nigerian pupil will not attend kindergarten 1 to 3 Because if he/she does, she will be 19 before attempting her first jamb? Or is a 3yrs old pupils first experience in school meant to be primary 1? If we're to use the 6334 system. .... The minister should be looking into adjusting the 6334 system into modern day realities. Kids these days are naturally born extra smart! |
Re: FG Sets 18 Years As Minimum Entry Age Into Tertiary Institutions by Tonididdyx: 3:50am On Apr 23 |
ogascomax: How did it affect him? You can't know or bear the pain of one who wore a tight shoe. The minister is clearly an aboki who still beloved in education is haram. |

What concern them with this. Misplaced priority |
Re: FG Sets 18 Years As Minimum Entry Age Into Tertiary Institutions by pek(m): 4:14am On Apr 23 |
2023Blessed:You are a classic example of the rut in our system. You circumnavigated the system and you are so proud of yourself. 6334 was put in place for a reason. Educationists and technocrats formulated the policy for a reason. You graduated at 18 right? That means you started university on or before 14. How many years did you spend in secondary school? How old were you when you started primary school? |
Re: FG Sets 18 Years As Minimum Entry Age Into Tertiary Institutions by pek(m): 4:15am On Apr 23 |
Good one. Long over due. Let's have adults in universities as it is meant to be. |
Re: FG Sets 18 Years As Minimum Entry Age Into Tertiary Institutions by pepericozi: 4:16am On Apr 23 |
Awon werey. Their children are not in Nigeria. They are doing rubbish with other people's lives. We can't eat, we can't drink and our children we are planning to educate are being deprived of their rights to educate. What a world? This is a misplaced priority. Notice me idea. Werey gbogbo. When they leave secondary school at the age of 15, what will they be doing at home. Possibly to learn a craft which will not allow them to go back to school. They should be allowed to further their education when their brains are still fresh. . |
Re: FG Sets 18 Years As Minimum Entry Age Into Tertiary Institutions by CursedOsuPigs: 4:16am On Apr 23 |
qualitymart: It's a very good decision. In UK, your child cannot be in secondary school except he's 11 years old or above. That's a standard. By the time such kid finishes secondary school, and does A-levels, he's already 18 and ready for university. That way, you won't have kids in diapers attending a university. |

yungpowers:Unfortunately, ASUU strike will take 2 or 3 years! This is not the priority for now; getting it right with ASUU and education generally is the priority for now. Private universities will gain here though |
