Who Remembers When This Was A Criteria For Entry To Primary School? by fogechi(op): 8:42pm On Oct 08, 2016
I remember those days when before you enroll for primary school your finger must touch your ear.

A lot of children were denied admission because of it.

nope!

One's hand must touch the ear, not one's hand must pass the ear ma! cheesy

Before one's hand must pass the ear, one must have almost passed teenage.


@Topic, who ever thought about or set that standard for primary school admission must have been so high on something else. I don't think it must have been the missionaries.

Funny thing... I'm sure lots of nairalanders will still be asking questions to know what this is.

It wasn't even for entry to primary 1.

It may seem like a bad idea now but it was meant to control flooding schools then with underage kids seeing as all parents wants their kids in school but there were just few schools around then
