I believe you partially....but you do know mathematically, you can never have 4years between 17years and 20years!

How your 17th to 18th year amount to 2years in university baffles the world and everyone on Nairaland.

otherway:
You should be more open minded.

OK let's assume a session starts and end in one year.

Did matriculation in January at Age 17 let's say in year 2010 for clarity.

2nd year starts in January 2011 at 18

3rd year starts in January 2012 at 19

4th year starts in January 2013 at 20

Now how many months make a semester? 4

What if the school just had a brief break between semesters, that means in less than a year I can finish a session.

So tell me how is it not possible to be

In year one at 17

Year 2 at 18

Year 3 at 19.

And year 4 at 20.

Im done explaining. Believe whatever you want.

Cheers.

So what happens to the 15 year old that completes secondary school .







That's where skill acquisition comes in.

This is good, maybe now those parents trying to rush their kids through school will slow down

Sirchiboy:
Great news.
And they should set 1 year mandatory for all secondary school leavers to learn a skill before university.

JERRY1925:
t

Sir this are part of reforms. Things cannot change in a day. Small laws like this can help reduce some paramount issues. You never can tell. We in a lawless country. Weytin 15 - 16 years they find for university.

Offpoint1:
That's still part of jumping. If he/she started at the normal age of 3/4, they shouldn't finish at 15

Nazgul:
I honestly do not support this. So if a child graduates from secondary school at 15 and clears his/her WAEC. What the government is telling us is that if the child's parents cannot afford a private school, the child would stay idle at home for 3 years before giving university education a shot.

That's like delaying the academic advancement of that child. Very bad if you ask me.

And for the records, I finished my secondary education at the age of 15.

CaptainFM1:
Abeg, I'm tired of this your discussion. Only you understand what you're saying!

Amfem:
If enacted and implemented... It's still the law givers' sons and daughters that would flaw it.

Private secondary schools and universities are mostly defaulters.

Let's wait for what the elders have to say on this.

Mercury12:
Hmmm good one.
I only fear desperate parents that would go extra mile to manipulate their child age 15,16,17 go turn 18 with with just another falsified birth certificate.
I doubt this new law would work.
Nigerians are experts in age falsification.

integrity16:
Very Good

2023Blessed:
Rubbish policy. Allow them to graduate young and add value to the system while their brains are still very active.

I graduated from the University at 18 and I have never regretted it for a day. It took me several years to get my first full-time job that I was truly satisfied with. So government ought to factor that also.

You want to waste their productive years in a country where employers will be asking for 4 years work experience at 22.

Digmygold:
You are tired of the truth.

thesicilian:
If they strictly enforce their law of minimum 6yrs entry into the primary schools and outlaw "double promotions", everything else will fall into place.

Offpoint1:
Good one... Next is banning creches and kid should start schooling at minimum of age 3.

Digmygold:
They didn't also put strikes by ASUU into consideration. 16year olds are allowed to drive, learn skills, so how does attending University at 16 affect anyone. Most of them even do better academically than the older ones in University at the end of the day. Wasting two years of their lives for absolutely no reason. Will Nigeria ever move towards the light and away from darkness. The norm is 16 years worldwide. Let geniuses thrive and shine. Don't dim their lights. Sadists.

Digmygold:
Until it affects your children. If you are allowed to drive at 16. Why should you be deemed too young to enter Uni at 16? Senseles[/b]s.

integrity16:
The reason for this is stated in the report, please go back and read it. Stop calling this new policy senseless, I believe this policy decision was unanimous amongst stakeholders in the industry.

It is an opportunity for me to ensure my child get some form of informal education before she turned 18. Not everything is taught inside the four walls of the university. So for me, it is a welcome development.

If you are angry at the policy, log on to the website of the ministry of education, you should get the Minister's contacts there, write to him to reverse the policy.

Digmygold:
Informal Education aka Skills Acquisition can be concluded in 3months or less. Two years is a lot of time to hold down anyone's progress or academic prowess. In civilized countries 16years is the norm. This is why Nigeria is backward because people with empty heads are often placed at the helm of affairs due to "long leg syndrome". How can a 16 year old be allowed to start driving, working and learning skills yet they are deemed to young for academic pursuit in a University? You must be very shallow to think at 16 your child is incapable of being in the University and at the same time acquire skills during her long holidays. Woe betide those who are trying to force this useless policy on our children. Woe betide them and their children if they ever started University before 18 or are overseas studying. Daft policies all the time. A 16 year old will cope hundred percent. They shouldn't turn them into idle miscreants and poke their mental health.

integrity16:
S/He should go and skill up. Digital skills are all over the place.

integrity16:
It is my shallow thinking, not yours. When your child gets to 16, send s/he to the UK/Canada/USA for their secondary education and please stop pouring salival on my mention. I am not the one who came up with this policy, I only supported it which is within my right to do so.
:-
This policy has come to stay, at least for now until you are able to summon the courage to approach the ministry to reverse this. Please lay this matter to rest, don't quote me again.

Digmygold:
Digital skills don't have to take two years. I hope sincerely you will.also.be set back by two years or more. In all spheres. Your children included. I am certain you are one of the political demons tormenting this country.

Digmygold:
This is a democracy not Military rule where dictatorship thrives. So nothing "comes to stay" automatically. JAMB is created by law and all amendments to the Act must be by law. You see why so many people in the helms of affairs are backward.? Lack of common knowledge. You are one of the dumb ones who just talk without thinking deep enough. Enough said I don't bandy words with nit-wits.

integrity16:
You are turning to a cyber bully oh!

integrity16:
Don't you think you are gradually turning to a cyber bully?

Digmygold:
Ask your father when you receive your set backs with your children too.

integrity16:
Apparently, you lack home training and you are not ashamed to display it to the whole world to see. I hope you have not raised your children this way. May God have mercy on your embittered soul.

superjaks:
I support this gesture from FG

We need mature minds in the universities not babies

Imagine a lecturer shouted at a student and the next thing is the student starting crying 😂

More reason we're having weak men in the society now

Digmygold:
What about the 32 year old student cultists?

You are supporting rubbish. So because one student cried all students should be set back by two years even intelligent ones?

So you can start Civil Service work and Skill Acquisition by 16 but not University Education? People are daft in this country. Very backward too.
