PlasmaTV: Some of you, we just come online and be writing rubbish. Is it d APC that establish 6 3 3 4 and do you know what the law say. Have u ever see any European going against the law. Each country has their law and if u want 5 years to be in university then you amend the law. |

LegendHero: I finished secondary school those days when education was top notch in Nigeria before I turned 16 - but I made a lot of terrible decisions with my life for a while because I lacked the maturity of the academic level I found myself - all these madness we see in universities these days is because kids lacking maturity were admitted into school before they can figure out what life is all about - IF I have my way, nobody will be admitted into any university in Nigeria without having a vocational skill and proof of earning with that skill for at least 1 year pre-admission. 1 Like |

Unbiased1:Smart Nations like Japan and China are not ....Every child must develop skills am not talking about the rote system of writing examinations here am talking about problem solving skills ....if you're are graduating at 10yrs old and can't apply what you know to solve problems it's of no use ...what can a 10yrs know about soft skills like communication Hunan relations he or she has to develop to full adult in certain situations to cope with the realities of Life |

ogbonti: If u had finished at 18 you would still have made the same mistakes. Uni days are heady for every one young or old. I met people in their 20s in school and I graduated and left them, and most left without a degree. It's not the age that makes or breaks u. It's the grit in u that builds or destroys u 1 Like |

My son who scored 330 in JAMB couldn't gain admission last year because he was 15 years 11 months and 3 weeks and considered under age and below 16 years. He wrote JAMB again this year and got 345 and intends to study medicine. Please who can arrange better thunder for me and send it to this Olodo person calling himself minister of education. 1 Like |

They didn't bow to any pressure.. Thier target was 16years but they know from the get go that there will be resistance so they opt for 18 years first and then reduce it to thier target to make you guys happy... |

ogbonti:We have 60-80 year Olds who run this country and lack any sort of emotional intelligence. Let the books smart kids go to school at 16 if they meet the requirements. There's a place for trades in every society, it doesn't mean every kid should learn a trade. 1 Like 1 Share |

Any child that finishes his or her secondary school early, should go and learn a skill within that year before they turn 18. |

ogbonti: Well you are right about that maturity. When I entered Uni, I was so small and I think one of the youngest in the whole faculty. It usually affect self esteem at some point but I blended well in the second semester coz I know a lot of people, I sabi book then with first class GPA in first semester (So people dey famz me), and I was an artist who roll with people that sing on campus. I will not say entering at a young age affected my life wrongly. This thing about life is that, even for same circumstance, we might get different result coz life is just like a dice. I like the bolded too. Vacational skills should be preached. 1 Like |

samsard: and who told you vocational education is not education ? what is education to you ? cramming and regurgitating dense texts in a book for exam purposes? this is the problem with Nigeria - we do not see the picture and even when we do- we have this penchant to ignore it. Come to the US and other developed societies, with you Bsc and Msc - your Boss on that job is just a GED or WAEC (equivalent holder) He becomes your Boss because he has on the job experience that you do not have and he is a team player - no big emphasis is placed on degrees or certificates which they see as just a receipt that you payed to attend a class to cram dense text to regurgitate for 4 years - you get it? |

ogbonti:Oh. Why don't you tell me GED holders are the major ones innovating in Fortune 500 companies and also holding top management positions? You think we're all village people with no exposure, abi? And where did I say vocational education is not education. Hope you're not comparing the almost disorganised vocational training we have here with structured systems in the west? |
