Everything has changed. Even 4+0 is now equal to 8...

It is mainly the fault of we "parents" as we're always rushing.

Any school that include the Basic 6 in their academics will be greatly avoided by the parents.

In so many cases the Basic 6 always being left-over do tell when you see the children.

I stopped at pry 4,then sec school
My Junior sis even wrote her common entrance then at pry 3 with good results and got into secondary school,brilliant girl..
6-3-3-4 is waste of time

Their is no policy in place to checkmate the influx of private schools in this country on the part of government, and parents are to blame on the other part.

Parents are majorly to blame. Simple.

I think we are using 4-4-2 formation 4 at the back and 4 as midfielders then 2 attackers to win trophies this is best formation to use. lol

no 4+0 is 40. oooo not 8 ooo

If it's not affecting the kids. I don't see a problem here.

Our Educational system is faulty and curriculum far less than standard...
Norway does Engineering for 4years and Msc 1 year..
Here we do 5 years engineering... 1 year NYSC before you can proceed for MSC

Most developeed countries run engineering as a 4 year program.
Besides i think that 5 years of engineering is very helpful, cause i dont think ssce grounds freshers well enough with the basics for engineering

These days parents want to include the achievements of their children in their own CV-----JAMB registrar.

People rush their children education for no reason whatsoever.

I have come to notice many private schools(warri, a classical example) are no longer operating the 6-3-3-4 educational system that is practiced in Nigeria,removing primary 6,jss3 and ss3. This I think is very wrong. I for one skipped jss3, and it affected me terribly, expecially in chemistry. Removing 3yrs of education from a child's life may cause a child to miss out on a vital knowledge which would have been helpful on the long run.
Another effect of this is the rate at which kids will graduate secondary school at an age I consider too young to enter a higher institution. According to this system, my younger bro is expected to graduate secondary school at age 14.
Their public school counterpart are still operating the 6-3-3-4 system, I wonder why the privates are deviating from this. Nairalanders what's your take on this?

The problem is caused by assuu and parents. Since assuu started their traditional strike system by making children to graduate for their first degree at the age of 30 parents try to beat them by making the pupil to enter higher institution as early as possible.
The parents try to shave off some years and in the process number of students in pr6 and jss3 are always depleted so the schools who are bent on making as much profit as possible kukuma remove them.
I for one found out that it is very educationally dangerous to skip a child through any class. I nearly killed my son when I thought he could Skip ordinary nursery3.
The guy becone miserable in class, was marinating in confusion and could not derive any joy in going to school until I stepped him back in primary 3 and he returned to being the star he initially was.
The poor implementation of the 6-3-3-4 system is really a cancer eating away true knowledge in our educational system.

It's not how far but how well. I wouldn't have a problem with shortening if it were helpful.

The only thing that annoys me about the thing is how mediocrity now rules Nigerian education. Children never fail and repeat classes anymore. Even the ones who have no idea what is happening, are told that they have passed.

These days, there are JSS 1 students who cannot even write their own names properly.

Nigerian education system worsens with each dusk and subsequent dawn. I fear for the future of Nigeria.

No wonder you no dey wear slippers. You would have been taught its importance in pry 5/6

It wasn't the best, our fathers operated under 6-5-4 which was better. 6-3-3-4 is just a waste of 2 yrs i.e pry 6 and ss3. All I did in pry 6 was revision of pry 5 subjects while SS3 is a revision of SS2 subjects.

6-3-3-4 or 6-9-4 is a waste of time, the best educational system dor now is 5-5-4

Speak for yourself,many schools are unable to finish their SS calendar in 3 years and you want it shortened to 2 years?

If I may ask,where are the kids running to?

The essence of education is to gain knowledge and not to set a record of who graduates at the youngest age..

I've seen kids who were forced to repeat the year by parents and they ended up becoming the best in their subsequent classes because of that singular act..

NO Knowledge is wasted and if you have to spend two years extra to be well grounded,I as a parent would not hesitate to have my children spend the full allotted years for their education..

smh... Education would never serve its purpose when the goal is simply to pass exams. There is only so much that can be asked in exams.

You are very correct.
If not for online job portals some graduates can't even fill hard copy job application forms on their own. Imagine an engineering student (graduate) don't know and/or can't quantify metric and imperial systems but expect to be employed within the next one year on completion of his nysc.

thank you! It's what I keep asking, where are they running to? Also, why aren't parents bothered that their children don't know what they should, but pass exams anyway?

Where are they rushing to? Those that designed the curriculum anf attached age to it are not dumb.


Thank you.

Says who? 3yrs is more than enough to complete the Senior sec curriculum. For instance, the New Gen Maths SS3 is full of revision apart Logarithm and Long & Lat.

Nairalanders what's your take on this?

When your brother leaves school at 14 please send him for his A levels. He doesn't have to go directly to the university or polytechnic simply because he has O levels in his kitty.

Osun state has changed from the 6-3-3-4 system to a system that states a Nine year Elementary Education, a Three year higher secondary Education and a Four year tertiary Education. Basically, the school system has been classified into Elementary, Middle and higher school. they come each with different objectives. 6-3-3-4 system of education is now old. it should be looked into across the states.

Ministry of Education have to look into that illegality, but am not sure of that SS 3.

No mind them. Na labour market go hear am pass.

Parents re not going to set modalities for establishment of private schools, it's the core duty of any functional government to take a strict policy for education.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in skipping classes as long as you meet the required credits.
