Go to unilag and see the huge number of babies in that place. Little children that should still be under their parents already at the mercy of the world. I agree age isn't maturity but the pressure society is putting on these kids is too much. My last son will be 3 in May but hasn't started proper school but attends day care. He spends more time at home than the other kids and I observed that his sense of reasoning is at par with his peers who have already started goiing to school and waking up 6:30 am and returning 5pm.. Many of us try to replace parental tutelage with teachers instructions which aren't same. That's why many kids trust and respect their teachers more than their biological parents. 7 Likes |

RenaissanceGuy: Someone's making some good sense here...11/12 is just fine. Anything less, in my opinion, doesn't cut it. Argue all you want, but save exceptions (which prove s the rule by the way), cognitive skills needed for secondary education comes at the Level 4 (Formal Operational Stage; age 11-12) strata of the continuum. 1 Like |

Some Children are naturally gifted and should not be held back.. People should not be punished for high IQs This is a crazy idea. Some children are capable of scoring above 300 in JAMB at age 15. Some can do PhD level mathematics Some children are geniuses that is a fact of life So such a child should sit in JSS3 doing what exactly? Pele was at the World Cup at 17 ditto Mbappe should the have been held back? If a 13 year old can run 100metres under 10 seconds should he be held back Everyone has their own gift https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-27923258 Messi joined Barcelona as a kid that was his gift We are in a democracy, was there any consultation or debate? People just wake up one day an announce a stupid policy with immediate effect. I'd that how to make policy? 4 Likes |

Thia idea is outdated.kids mature faster nowadays.besides there is no point In slowing down a kids life for some archaic beliefs. Going through school faster affords someone many years to work and make something for oneself I not that u graduate and in little time u are old .not going through school is what makes some people still look for children's school fees even after retirement 1 Like |

yers6:. I concur with your submission, its a pertinent fact that high rate of suicide in these foreign countries has to do with same problems listed above, because by they reach 30 to 40 & those flat boobs don't sell or no parental support then suicide is the next option. Google the average age of suicide in South Korea and compare it with these children age in Nigeria, hence you have your answer. 1 Like |

The truth is, we are having too little kids passing into adult stages too quickly, and it comes with its own side effects. A mature mind tends to handle life situations better 2 Likes |

This is a lazy approach. Children develop at different rates. You cannot hinder a child just because other children are not as quick to learn. The problem of underaged underperforming students is solely the fault of the schools who promote them regardless of their performances. This is counterintuitive. There are so many gifted children in Lagos nowadays. They grasp concepts quickly and are able to hold intelligent conversations with adults. A blanket solution is not the way to go. What they should concentrate on is the foundation. Every little child must be taught how to learn. Don’t just teach a syllabus. Well, I’m just here typing grammar on NL. When I become a father, if I still reside in Lagos and that policy is still in place I will make so much noise and drag them till they give my kid an exemption from such a backward lazy policy. 1 Like |

Doesn't make sense. We are in a digital age and age doesn't equal maturity. So you force Lagos based kids to become 18 before leaving secondary schools when in other climes, by 18 you have a degree... |

DarkJeddi: What concern of yours is it? Children mature differently, and receive different levels of education. Why should the exceptional be held back? Why do Nigerians hate the exceptional? Imagine one clown above wailing about Babcock and Covenant students as if these same young kids don't come out and outshine many of their 'elders' in job interviews. |

Pious101:it's better.this one that there's influx of under aged children in the university will reduce You will be seeing 14 years old in university because parents want them to graduate at 18. If Lagos state government doesn't curb admission of underage children in the university, small time you will start seeing 10 years old saying he too is an undergraduate Anyway I'm not surprised.this days anything goes.children will be birthing children.you will see an adult with the characteristics of a child having children in the university.theres no difference between them and their children in terms of iq The only thing required for you to have a child in the university now is for you to have been sexually active as an adolescent 3 Likes 1 Share |
