What about some Fracaphone students that got admitted into Nigerian Universities with unverified documents. They should go after those ones too.

nairalanda1:
My opinion does not have to make you have a meltdown.

Get angry about how this country is run, instead.

I'm surprised how you've depreciated within just a few time frame
Few months back when I used to observe comments from your moniker, you sound then like an enlightened fellow but all of a sudden you have depreciated.
Too much of supporting the drug baron in power I guess

Well, whatever you think of me, it is my opinion that 18 is best, and it should not make your emotional level go haywire, to put it delicately.

Angelfrost:
That depends... Some 15 year olds are more mature than 18 year olds.

There really should be no need suppressing the genius of certain young people.

The part that should be given serious priority is the aspect of "Practical or Vocational Education".

This is what has been lacking for years now.

Are you guys even aware education is a professional sector? Most of these rules you hear were properly thought out before being rolled out. The reason for the 18 years is enormous but I will just give you one.

Now if you have a sister who is 15 and she is in the university and I have sexual act with her. You became aware and arrested me claiming your sister was a minor and her consent should be disregarded. My defense can become very easy if I claim I thought she was an adult because she was in the institution meant for adults.

That your claim of being genius is ridiculous to say the least. I've spent 25 years in the education sector and I can tell you, I've not seen a single genius in Nigeria. I have seen intelligent people though. Not every intelligent person is a genius. In education genius are categorised as kids with special needs and if that is the case, there is already provision for that. This law does not disturb that. This law is setting a baseline to enter the university. If you are in the special category, you should have documents to back it up, not just saying my mum told me I'm a genius.

you forgot this Nigeria.

What a Professor couldn't do well, a Doctor has done it. 😂

SlavaUkraini:
After spending millions on their Education, they graduate and can't find a good job.

And you say that Education is not a Scam ?

Dey play.

Were they taught how to find a good job as well?

Or only how a good job might have been found by others?


What is education?

gaddafe:
That is nonsense. The minister, as it stands today cannot reverse that policy. Anybody telling you otherwise is just deceiving you. Nigeria is a corrupt country so even with the existing policy, it will be possible for a kid of twelve years old to be in the university. However, do yourself a favour and pick the recent "National Policy on Education" to check if the age has been reversed. No age has been reversed, so any school that choose to implement that law cannot be faulted. The government can choose to ignore the offence when committed if they like but as it stands. The law is the law.

The thing many Nigerians don't even know is that the law was not even made in this administration but in Obasanjo's administration. What this administration wanted to do is enforce it.

it is well.

Father254:
Next reverse our national anthem.
All useless policies from TPain.

I can't believe someone can wake up and his problem is our anthem.
At my age now I can't sing the new national anthem.

move on bro

Okay. Well said. Thank you.

When you have a square peg in a square hole

nairalanda1:
Optimally 18 years is a good age to enter university

Some even say that 21 is better.

I said what I said. If you like, abuse me.

And if you like modify my comment

18-21 is best for university entrance.

Entering at 15 or 16 is just sending lamb to slaughter

So let's say you have a precocious child. Are you saying you'd hold them back until 21 before allowing them go to uni?

kokakola:
Scrap the nation's archaic curriculum and endorse practical and solution-driven model of education and there'll will be a turn around in our educational and national economy.

Do you have examples of a practical and solution-driven model we can adopt?

There are many things you cannot be without education. Strive to be the best even in that field and stop being stupid with message of yours.

Good job , honourable minister.

Awesome decision.

Every student is different.

TossTos:
This is to say schools in Togo , Benin and others are fake while other countries are valid. Is it not the the same western education or will everyone afford to send their children or attend schools in European countries like they politician embezzle this country's money to send their children abroad ?. Okay .. we'll see if Togo , Benin and other won't void our certificate too.

how can you obtain a degree in 3 months

Elvictor:
This government is very funny
They will make a useless policy and then reverse it and claim it as achievement and then boast shamelessly in front of the media.

And if they refuse to reverse it,you will still gloat.

So what the age limit now?
Writer ✍️ is not a good journalist.

Education is not a SCAM...

EDUCATION is not meant to make one a job seeker BUT a creator of jobs - a solutions provider.

EDUCATION is primarily to enlighten and expose one's mind to be creative and to the very unlimited possibilities one has to be a better person in any society one finds oneself.

EDUCATION removes the toga of unrefinement and crudity from one's mind... I'm talking of education that begins from childhood both formal & informal. Many crude and unrefined "educated" people we see today were deprived of the benefits of early education.

EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT.
MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.

You are definitely not referring to the Nigerian kind of education.

Same way your parents were stupid to send you to school only to reply people online with insults abi ?

Agugbadin:
Where did they graduate from

Obafemi Awolowo University

SlavaUkraini:

Of course, I'm referring to Nigeria's education system. It has provided a solid foundation for the many Nigerians who have left this country to excel in different fields abroad.

Why did they not Excel in Nigeria ?

And replicate their success for the next generation.

Why are they abroad ?

The fact that one out of ten is successful does mean the system is working.

Nigerian Educational system is a big joke and a Scam.
