- The minister should find solutions for children who are out of school instead of stifling children who can get into school before they are 18 years old.

Bar Frank Tietie, well done for the great analysis.
I totally agree with this lawyer. Maturity has nothing to do with age. I've seen a lot of immature middle adults. Like he said, underaged girls can get married, but under 18 is too immature for university. May God help us in this country.
You should tell us what better barometer you want the country to use to determine adulthood if maturity has nothing to do with age. In northern Nigeria, girls under the age of 18 are allowed to get married for (Sharia) religious reasons, but it comes at the cost of high rate of maternal deaths and disability. My heart bleeds when I read about those girls, because, as a fellow Nigerian, those girls are my people and I am not happy to hear sad news about them.
@@Ojay_BabsYou totally misunderstood my comment. I do not in any way support marrying off under aged girls. It was a point raised by the lawyer to show the absurdity of this new law. Kindly watch the video again, and then reread my comments.
Bar. Frank is not a teacher, and so does not appreciate the terrible situation of what teachers go through because of endemic underage syndrome. I agree 100 percent with Dr Bukola.
Most private schools are part of miracle centers
@@Ojay_BabsWho says you have to be an adult to attend University. If under the Civil Service you can work unrestricted at 16, why then should be deemed to be too young to study in University at 16? If we are going to determine maturity by chronological age, then the Minister himself is too old to be in office.
Mr Frank on point thanks i don't just understand FG with all sort of policy
Why has this become the hill upon which the government has chosen to die upon? Is this what Nigeria requires? 🤔😡☹️😤😱
What a brilliant submission! My brother and friend, Barr. Frank Tietie
Kudos 👍
Just to thank Frank for clap back on the lady. I remember the gifted Imafidone children being celebrated in the UK! And minister who is supposed to be fighting to ensure that out of school children is minimised is actually wanting to stop those eager to learn!
Can we band together and sue the minister to court?
This Government doesn't know what the need of the country really is.
Wow!!!
Frank Tie Tie 👏 👏 👏
God bless you Frank what a law! That a child must be 18 to write WAEC, how come? Technology makes our children learn faster. The age of admission was 16 for so long why change it now? We should improve regulation and governance and stop punishing children!
Thank you sir. May God bless you
Some times I wonder what the priorities of the Ministers are this country. Mr Tahir is just there in Abuja with no knowledge of the primary and secondary school school system. I can tell you categorically that 85% of students in ss3 are less than 16 years of age especially in private schools. It is funny how jamb and the minister are thinking, it is a true fact that majority of students that perform best in jamb are under 16. My brother did 312 in just concluded jamb at 15 and someone wants to deny such a young chap the opportunity to finish school early. These people have their children abroad or in various private universities. The policy is against the common man
FIX REGULATIONS, THE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND INFRASTRUCTURE!! OMG!!! we are already at a disadvantage when we compete globally, why stop folks from access to education?! why are we so backward thinking?? We go overseas and we are the OLDEST in the classes, in the workforce!
Intelligent analysis, Frank 🎉
To achieve the 18 years you have to start the age restrictions from the nursery schools. All the backlog can be dealt with by creating a special program for them until they get to 18yrs.
They should start now, set up monitoring team.
Exactly
What are you monitoring. What are you setting up. I entered university at 16 and graduated one of the best in my class and have gone agead to be a tax professional in this same nigeria. My close friend got in at 15 and was overall best student in 100l with cgpa of 4. 98 out of 5. He is currently in medical surgeon in the US. So what exactly are you talking about
@@abiriolanike4035 what is ur problem please? Where on earth do government restrict her citizens of education but no age restriction in power and child marriage? Nawa o
@@bridgetikeh2526 Start now? Is it an emergency?It should apply only to those who are going to enrol in Basic 1 otherwise Millions of students are about to be made redundant and consequently criminally minded. Fire Brigade approach will backfire. Proper and extensive planning is needed and the Minister appears to be in such a hurry that we are beginning to suspect there is more to his hurried implementation.
Give it up to my learnered colleague 🎉, pure truth told
I love tjhis lawyer speaiks my mind, May God save us from tyrant
A child should not be punished for being ahead of his years. Such a child should rather be encouraged. The purpose of education is to enlighten the mind but we have administrators that believe it's all about issuing certificates.
I don't understand what the argument is about. My daughter entered the university @ 16 and got her first degree @ 20. She got her PHD. at 25, and she's a professor at a prestigious university in the US.
She's exceptional! The argument here is that even the dullards are in our Universities! How on earth would universities in those days pegged 120 out of 400 as cut-off to get into the university? School certs results are no longer sweated to earn but pay for grades in miracle centres!!! In summary, only brilliant children under 18 should be exempted from this provision!
@ckolins You have no point.so brilliant students should be debar from gaining admission into the university because of some who are dullard ..The gov. needs to have a special program for those ones and moreover most of the so called dullard are not.. They are mostly affected by our environment.
No sir. Believe it or not, having a PhD at 25 is not what we mean by "gifted and talented" or exceptional. It only seems so because of the enormous problem with our education system. PhD at 16, 20? Yes, that's the exceptional!!!
So, even though the argument that many children are 'forced' in too early is very true, a blanket policy that denies the hundreds of thousands of Nigerian students who are ready and fully qualified for this process is short-sighted and betrays the research-driven actions you would expect from a ministry of education. In saner climes, this sort of policy would be backed by researches and deliberations with experts and stakeholders that will then be made public for us to understand. So neither camp should be discussing this issue based on personal sentiments and preferences. Sadly, that's what the Minister is doing. Facts over sentiments please.
She would have done better. Intelligence is more than that. No wonder a lecturer starts crying when students react badly. No Emotional Intelligence. We have doctors that would have done better if they were a bit mature.
@@ckolins So the dream.of those who are exceptional should be thrown in the trash because of a moribund dumb policy that will do more harm.than good?
God bless you Frank Tietie
God bless this man
That's rubbish, they are pushing Nigeria backwards.when it comes to marriage they go for under age, education has to limit some are born genius
@@okosisimopol The mental health of the children is at risk. Many of them are very demoralized by this bad news. This Minister of Education is 70, graduated at about 30 years old and appears to be desperately against youth development.
Thank you frank!
Very silly policy. You can restrict Uni minimum age to 18 not WAEC. Even at that, some are smarter than others and should not be restricted.
If the Minister says 16 is too young and immature then he needs to get the log off his own eye first because he is equally too old to be a Minister at 70.
In foreign Universities you can get enrolled before 18 and they don't write GCSE at 18. The Minister is totally not being true to himself. If they write UTME and SSCE at 18, then they don't get enrolled at 18 but at 19 and above which is absurd considering that some of them have to write these exams multiple times before they pass. If the Ministry approved 10 years as minimum entry age into Secondary, the same Ministry can also not come and say they cannot write Examinations going on 16. That's a contradiction.
The average age of finishing high school is about 16 years. What should be done for the two years??? Should NYSC be shifted to after high school? Should education be made free and compulsory for all Nigerians up to high school level and then followed by the NYSC training which should also include skill acquisition training and training for easy recruitment into the military?
The government is just trying to avoid its responsibilities.. so what guarantees a child will spend the mandatory 4years for a four years course and not spending 6-7years due to strikes and all? The trainee jobs set age limit at 23years. writing WAEC and NECO shouldn't be limited to 18YEARS as other countries are speeding learning with use of technology.
God bless Frank TieTie
Jumping of classes or poor performance of students is not a function of age... Poor system of teaching and lackadaisical attitudes of most Nigerian schools
Well said! I'm also of the opinion that schools should bring back Basic 6 and 7 to ensure a complete Basic education 👋🏽
Please sir my God distroy all my enemies in Jesus Christ name Amen
Wonderful 😂 so there are all this steps & I was forced to cram and pour it out.
10:03 Thank you Mr Tie Tie!
They are trying to hinder geniuses.
Mrs Dosumu is on point.
How can someone be on point without research and statistical data?
Watching your videos always fills me with the drive to achieve great things.
You can ask that kids should start Primary 1 at 5 years old as long as they are 5yrs at 31 August. Not restricting the exams because there are kids geniuses that can cope and skip. I skipped and did fine. There are geniuses in the US and UK that skip too, mostly home-schooled ones.
Every child should be allowed to develop at their own pace. Having said that, jumping classes and double promotion shouldn't be encouraged either. The psychological and mental wellbeing of the child should be prioritized at every stage of development. Age restriction shouldn't be placed on any child who's ahead of the pack, there should be special considerations for such children.
@@IgnatiusOmenai The Ministry approved 10 years as minimum entry age. So a child who will be 16 in SS3 has done nothing out of the Ministry's directive. They got enrolled in Secondary on that premise. The children cannot be stopped from writing the Examinations. The Minister's dirty policy has to be stopped.
God bless you barr.Frank tietie.
They should go and work on out-of-school children instead of forcing already schooling pupils to almajery
God bless that lawyer for standing up for Nigeria students and there future. I don't know why Nigeria government always like to suppress its citizens. Can these people tell us the major cause of insecurity in the north if not lack of education.
@@Onyedikachi-gy4ll Trust me. Anyone in support of this trash policy does not have a child who is affected by it including the Minister himself. If the Minister cannot show us proof that ALL his children wrote those Examinations at 18, then he is a hypocrite and Nigerians must vehemently kick against this bedevilled political policy aimed at turning millions of children into redundant street youth.
I will blame those journalist that invite Frank tietie to put "mouth" on a matter he has no professional qualification to talk on. This is not law but education matter. It's only in Nigeria Radio and television house think they must always bring in a lawyer to every issue even when they have no professional pedigree to discuss the matter. The woman has demonstrated professionally and even by systematic school calendar while the age issue should not be barrier.
Love her. She gave her professional opinion without being overly emotional. The lawyer came just as a lawyer.

So which age should a child stars school. Obviously those kicking this: usually they refused let their child to finish Primary Six,and SS3.
@@abdullahisuleiman4307 So what if a child is exceptionally gifted and ahead of their peers? you want to stifle that child's growth bcos your own child is dull?
Not at all...she's the head of the private schools union...what do you expect her to say, do u want "them" to shut down her school....?
@@e.u7778 Then should not honour the invitation and stay at home na
@abdullahisuleiman4307 : The "they" in your comment signifys jealousy. Blowing off your neighbour's candle will never make your burn brighter.
The minister should be preoccupied with out of school children, ASUU & other unions and improvement of academic environment in the schools.
How many universities has he visited to inspect the facilities? What of the Schools built by GEJ for out of school children? The minister clearly chose to remive the speck in his neighbour's eyes, while ignoring the glaucoma threatening his eye sight.
I belive primary 1 should be 6yrs, I don't know where 5yrs come from.
That been said, the age is not the problem but poor regulation making sure that there gifted ones are not restricted.
This lawyer stops me from watching this program further . It is not about English and aggression , it is about being calm and being experienced. It is good that he said he is emotional about this
He is not an educationist. He is arguing blindly with no emotional Intelligence cause. If only he was trained
Dr Bukola was very correct, back in the days, there are children genius, and there are series of test done to evaluate their excellence and proper promotions are granted to them. Mr Frank was just mixing issues. We know government fail in the educational and other services but that is not part of what this discussion is about
@@jamesolawale1911 She was very wrong. Nothing correct came out of her mouth.
She just convinced me of the policy.
In my own opinion, those who designed our education system do not mean well for our cooperate growth and development as a country.
I will suggest that, we must redesign our education system to best suite our current realities as a country. And for the record, I don't see age as a necessary parameter that determine intellectual usefulness.
And some wait for 3-4yrs before getting admission to University
We need to start from pry school which is the entry age...axing from the top
My question is, what developmental program did the minister initiated for our kids who might be in SS3 at the moment and would be staying back because of his myopic policy? or is he expecting parents to keep their kids at home without doing anything for a year or repeat their SS2 while they pay school fee for additional year?
@@mosesewa3220 He wants them to lose the zeal for studies, get dejected and demoralized because he is yet to tell us his actual aim.
Is the lawyer qualified to speak on this subject? He is out of line.
@@charlesukwu5671 Many so called "qualified experts" are parading forged certificates and earning Government salaries. So don't be fooled.
The minister didn't talk about the years that will be spend in the university plus and minus the Nigerian strikes. As usual.
Dr Dosunmu makes me wonder if she understands what child development is. Mrs Administor (Dr Dosunmu) what are the child developmental parameters?
Parameters for child development include
A family,
Access to Education
Access to health
proper feeding and safe space/environment.
child right awareness and supervision/ mentoring.
If she didnot do her due diligence before the interview she should not speak on the matter on national TV.
I'm 14 and I wrote JAMB and WAEC, I passed, would I then not enter school
It's about mental, social and physical ability and development.
What curriculum is being implemented to ensure they have all these developed properly?
People in positions of authority take decisions, that keep passing the buck, showing their incompetence.
It seems the issue is just to increase the stay in schools and guaranteed revenue generated.
If they really cared about the mental, Social and physical development of children, they will revamp the curriculum and put all the activities, as well as periodic reviews and exams, to test their social, physical and mental capabilities.
With expectuons given to those physically unable to.
But all they focus first on, is to disenfranchise people with above average ability.
The lawyer was arguing out of point. Though there are issues of out of school children, the case here is not that. I am a teacher and I know what we face when parents pressurise us to make their children skip some classes, even though the children in question may not be intellectually sound. But because the practice is so common nowadays many do not see it as a problem. Just like the Dr said, there could be exceptional children but these are few.
@@dateparkeduservices1682 What is that percentage of parents? So because of that minute percentage in your own school all students including the actual intelligent ones should suffer and enroll in University at 25 years? Are you certain you are a qualified teacher because I am not seeing any trait of mental alertness in your analogy.
Pls remember strikes when they get into university at 18 add at least 2yrs extra for strikes and madam the way I see some federal universities rush curriculum cos of months wasted on strikes you guys can look into that misplaced priority
This federal government policy will affect the students from this current primary 2 all the way to this current ss3.
And that means it has many years of negative effects.
In developed countries basic 1 to high school is free meaning you can't dictate foe or to the schools. Despite this, these countries don't waste kids that are geniuses.
The issue is relevant, yet the solution given is wrong. Being underage in Nigerian universities is risky.
They should create special programs for underage university students , whereby they would bare the cost of having a parental guardian.
Intelligence and maturity are not the same thing. It does not matter if a minor is an expert in operating a vehicle. There are decisions only a matured mind can take on the road. Otherwise, we should be consulting minor doctors and engineers.
The past and present presido are matured and we found ourselves there
The biggest problem of Nigerian education especially at the secondary school level is examination malpractice. Schools without science laboratories still register students and get values from other sources and give to students during examinations in subjects where practicals was meant to be done. It is well with our country Nigeria
Frank does not know everything. Must he comment on every issues. The solution is what the government is embarking upon. Arise, stop bringing Frank to speak on every issues.
I respect him but on this issue Dr Dosumu is the learned one here. Honestly. Both gifted and average students are affected under this sandwich system, especially the less average. Minister should start enforcement now from primary school ( entry age 6,years or 5+ whose birthday comes after new school calendar year). Don't know where they are rushing to. This practice should no be a norm.
@@bridgetikeh2526Frank is simply re-echoing Professor Afebabalola's position on this subject. Maybe your bias against Frank is blurring his argument but if you listen to Prof on this subject, you will get a clearer picture.
@@bridgetikeh2526 Doctor Dosunmu is blabbing gibberish. She is far from learned IMO.
Are we going backwards or forward in this era?
The woman is not honest at all. What are corrupt country.
U have to be 18 before u go to tertiary institution n u must not be 30yrs to go for nysc n u must not serve more than 35yrs before retiring n must not be more than 60yrs before retiring. But to be a minister or a politician has no age limit n the qualifications are not more than a secondary school certificates
Is this not menace? The government wouldn't clamp on their wings but they will clamp on the wings of their people. How do you explain this?
Goodness me!
That is what I am saying. Restrictions must be on the common man everywhere. When U see some adverts for job the age limit is 25 because they know at that age U can give your best. They just want to limit the destiny of people U can be a politician at age 100 and fight to be a president but U can't progress when U are still able. What a country.
Just yesterday, my older brother called me with so much excitement that his 13-year-old son passed his Waec after he had invested so much on the young boy by paying private tutor to take the young lad.

Trust me there thousand of brilliant once like Kolade in our misdt now the govt want to keep them aground.
Age has nothing to do with vices in the universities.People at the very top were/ have been accused of fake certificates and no primary and secondary school antecedsents.LJust guess who is talking. Nonsense.
It is wrong to throw children into the free-for-all world of adults in tertiary institutions. Age is the legal means by which the world determines adulthood. Nigerians need to start showing respect for the law and avoid always finding excuses to break the law. The country will continue to flounder until we all embrace the rule of law and allow sanctions for law breaking.
Nigeria minister of education who brought this up must be sick, their children are competing in the western world they want to set limits upon the children of the common man. I was on America got talent and saw a boy of two years solving maths of secondary school students without stress. U can't compare the brain of yesteryears with the brain of the children we have now. Do U train a boy of 2/3 how to operate a phone. I know a boy of 11 that can drive he learnt it thru his computer game. Don't set limits on our children if that is what U people arrive at in your coven or cult
@@Ojay_Babs There is no law broken. I am sure you are not a stakeholder in this that's why you are happy to contribute negatively. That is how hypocrites behave.
THIS IS A CRUCIAL ISSUE
I, as an Educational Psychologist believed that series of RESEARCHES should have been conducted at different stages/areas and made public before POLICY of this magnitude is made.
I know very well that the part of the brain known as PREFRONTAL CORTEX fully developed at 20s of age, and that depends on some FACTORS too.
We may have early or late maturity. Exceptional Children are not equated with biological or chronological age sometimes.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD SUPPORT AUTHENTIC RESEARCHES FOR EDUCATIONAL POLICIES
Cognitive Domain, Afective Domain and Psychomotor Domain
Maturity is not about age oooo. Minister after your own children have gone to school within that age category now you want to deny others with useless policy or analysis.
They mind them there kids are abroad,most good jobs prefer those under 25yrs
@@Anunimorigba01 God bless you. His own children are not affected so he doesn't care. Let him come show proof that his own children wrote UTME and SSCE at 18, otherwise he is a hypocrite who lacks the fear of God.
A child starting formal Ed. at 1 year-old. 6yrs primary + 6yrs secondary + miscellaneous (2-3) >= 15 yrs old. What we need to make compulsory is 12 years of primary and secondary school.
@@oluwasegunayokunlesomefun8523 That is unnecessary and if it has to be done it has to be at Elementary level. Approved Entry Level into Secondary School is 10. So a child who will be 16 in SS3 is in accordance with this provision. The same Ministry who made this provision despite the 6-3-3-4 system which is just a guide and not a law cannot become a clog in that child's wheel because the child followed due process. The Minister needs tutoring.
@@FolaA-u5b I think we are saying close to the same thing though. Many parents/schools are in the practice of skipping the 6-3-3=12.
I don't see how that is a clog if 6+3+3 is duly followed. No need for age cap. If even a 13-year-old meets 6+3+3 then ill-defined laws should not discourage or limit them. Just make sure students/teachers/parents can't manipulate elementary level classes, where they skip multiple classes, even happens in some private secondary schools.
@@oluwasegunayokunlesomefun8523 The Federal and State Governments set Secondary School Entry Age minimum at 10. So how has a child who is 10 in JSS1 done anything outside of Government's directive?
The Minister should tackle Examination Malpractice first and everything else will fall into place. He cannot render millions of students redundant. It makes no sense and makes him appear ignorant.
A Minister Of Education should be more focused on having more children in school than out of school. This moribund policy is going to do the latter which is highly detrimental.
This is a good way for Education to go. When this happens we won't have organizations asking for employees to be 20yrs old and 22yrs old. Too many underaged children in the University...
If you think that is how Nigeria works then you are not smart. You will graduate at 27 and yet won’t have a job
Are you in Nigeria? Are your own children affected?
YOU GUYS SHOULD GO AND FACE THE 18 MILLION CHILDREN OUT OF SCHOOL IN THE NORTH. LEAVE THE SOUTHERN KIDS ALONE PLS!!!!!!
The lawyer is really mixing up issues. What is he even talking about? I agree totally with the woman. There are exceptions of course but that's what they are, exceptions. It can't be a norm.
So question is how do we handle the exceptions? Like Ngozi (the Arise TV Anchor) just put it - she wasn't 16yrs when she gained admission yet her colleague who was exceptionally brilliant had to stay back one year (by the way, that's okay if her parents chose to hold back).
I like the way she ended it with the metaphor of Nigerian experience: do you stop the good ones from moving forward because of the bad ones?
Shouldn't we rather focus our energy on getting rid of the bad ones?
Exactly. Adults are already struggling with the university environment, talk less a minor. It makes no sense.
There are things that are forbidden in schools that are tolerated in universities. Imagine where the oversight would be on the child.
This lady needs to differentiate between the words ‘some’ and ‘most’. MOST NIGERIANS ARE NOT GOING TO THE UK TO STUDY ☹️
Let us allow children to enjoy their childhood and slowly ease them into adulthood. Yes, there would be occasional exceptions of genius children, but they are usually a rarity.
Just say you no sabi book
Well Im in touch with this age limit restriction because if we say 18 is the maturity age for a child, why are we living a 16 year old child to the university, to live away from the parents and expose them to things they are not yet of age to give consent to. With proper planning down from the nursery, primary and reform of the university syllabus, and also Increasing the retirement age to 65 and working years to 40years instead of 35 years

So what happens when they go to boarding schools. Should boarding schools close down
@@ikennaamaechi2054 My brother, I have already addressed the issue. I suggest a boarding school programme should be developed in universities for underage students until they turn 18 years old. Imagine an underage student in a hostel with adults. A boarding school has restrictions that are not there is universities. I know in a lot universities in South Africa, United Kingdom and United States, a student would have to specify that they are below 18 years, so the school knows how to plan for them with a guardian. You know some of the things that happen in Nigeria do not happen in those countries. In Nigeria you can go your whole life without an identity card and only have a birth certificate. How would you restrict the child from doing what only those 18 years and above are doing.
From 17 , 18 actually
@@ikennaamaechi2054you cannot use the life of a secondary boarder to compare the life of a child in university, they enjoy different freedoms. It's totally different
There is nothing wrong with children under 18years to be admitted into the University
Let's go back to the best JAMB candidates there where 16years.
University education does not need only brilliance; it also needs maturity. This view is backed by my several years of experience as a lecturer. Parents who cannot abide by the age regulation should try institutions that offer programmed curricular or home studies. They should desist from trying to use their powers or positions in the society to destroy the country's well-thought education policy.
I have noticed that no one liked your comment before mine. Indeed the university is not for kids, there shouldn't be a hurry to go there. Tietie is not the best candidate for this debate.
@@emmaonah2208 We don't need to step on brilliant children in order to give way to dullards. 16 years is the approved age across all University Boards because they as Boards know that these children cope well mentally and emotionally.
Being a Lecturer sir, is there already any research work that proof all 18yrs person's and above maturity??? Respectively ask sir
I am honestly appalled by the level of reasoning of these adults. Now I understand how Nigeria got to this stage. Are adults not in those "Miracle Centers" writing Examinations too. Does every child who excels attend a "Miracle Center". Rather than tackling Examination Malpractice. Mr. Minister who graduated at 30, is attacking intelligence. What a Country.
@@Equity4keeps There are children living under bridges abandoned by their parents and in vulnerable situations who are out of school and roaming the streets. Is under the bridge for kids? What has the Minister of Education done about this category of kids? Why is he so concerned about the ones who are under their parents tutelage and ready to advance with their education with their parents approval and guidance? Some of you just make senseless comments. You need to go back to school because you lack basic knowledge and analytical skills. Explains your disdain for intelligence.
Some Lecturers who copy the Theses of others and teach nonsense to our children because they entered through the backdoor are talking gibberish.
Has anyone ever wonderd why most Nigerian children whose parent relocated abroad have to drop class in their new school as against where they are coming from?.
Mr lawyer you only understand laws you can't anti speak to the woman who is in the system over years and bringing logical reasons why this age limit should stand
Everything this woman said in support of the rubbish policy is a failure of the educational system and its regulators. Why can't the schools be equipped to build up students both in academics and in character. Why pass your failures to the children and their parents. We always display incompetence in this country.
She is not being sincere and I doubt her own children wrote SSCE and UTME at 18. It's the hypocrisy for me. Very appalling.
For once, Franc Tietie is not making sense...
That man is me. 😊😠🥰
The lawyer was too emotional. Could have articulated his points better
Thanks Frank tietie, you nailed it, but their children will be under age and will go to the universities abroad. E not go better for una at all 😂😂😂😂😂
I do not understand this noise about age of entrance to university. This is not a new policy as I can remember vividly when we were applying to enter university in the mid 80s through JAMB. We used to have the Brochure then (I am not sure if they still have it either in paper or digital). It was clearly stated that applicant must be above 17 years before being considered for admissions. Even by the education policy of 6-3-3-4, you will definitely have to meet up the age requirement assuming you begins full primary school at age 5 or 6. As for those talking about Genius, Genius are generally an exception and not the rule. We are talking of the rules. Moreover genius don't need a rigid or structure curriculum.
@@bolasalak7360 that's not true. Entry requirement age in Nigerian Universities is 16. Go and verify.
When professionals talk you know. Many that are against upholding this policy really don't get the real issue. We must uphold this policy but how do we manage the Backlog. A popular adage says it's never too late to change your path when you realize you are on the wrong path.
Parents paranoia and Private sector profit is what is the problem. That speaker is just getting himself worked up it's clear he has no understanding of education.
Please bring an educationist to discuss these issues and not highly ignorant people. A lawyer for this discussion is of point.
Speaking from both sides of her mouth...probably a school owner, so careful not to have her school sanctioned.....This has always been the case whenever Nigeria has a minister of education from the North, laws without any sense ....Let the children excel if the have the capacity.
Every part of the world children enter University at 18 but in Nigeria parents rush
Who is this woman speaking in your studio
Is she the face of Mr Minister hiding under Doctor. Too many "doctors" wey no get sense. What's in it for her because she sounds very desperate to hack people's children down by every means.
So most folks with good academic achievements are over 18 right? Very retrogressive policy.
ASUU strike keeps the student at home for years
@@uchennaduruji2702 The Minister seems happy about that. He graduated at about 30 years so we understand his pain at seeing successful young graduates thrive. It appears to be a long standing pain for him such that his level of disgusting desperation at making these children suffer his own kind of fate is alarming.
Apc and their clueless policy turn 5&6. Nigeria is interested in entering age of students, but less concerned about the finished years of their academic at University. 4yrs program turned 6,7, yrs and above, bcs of ASUU strike not concerned them.
Its only in APC govt that we wake up in the new day with the new policy and decision at our door step without proper consultations. I wish my damsel little girl didn't born in this "Animal Farm" called Nigeria.
Truly, AWONLOKAN
Madam channel ur energy to out of school children not wat u r doing ma,ur ministry is running anti clock wise
The youngest person in my school is 13 years and he is brilliant. The problem is that he can't handle the social side of the university well. The villain frat boys almost con him into joining their club. That is what needs to be addressed not age.
Exactly .
Actually if student follow the ladder, there wouldn't be any age issue.
This education minister probably entered school in his twenties. Now see his level of thinking....very retrogressive. He should resign for this rubbish directive.
Check the man's profile online. He finished University at about 30 years. He seems desperate to foist his unfortunate fate on our children. Otherwise why the haste and fire Brigade approach? Why is he in such a haste to render millions of Nigerian children redundant? Is there more to it?
Nigeria has other pressing issue compared to the age of Nigerians writing waec. Maturity is one thing while foundation is another. My daughter is 13 in has 3 and by 16 she maybe writing waec and she is one of the best in her level. What about talking about qualifications of teachers and their competence. Nigeria why?
That woman is red scarf is funny. Have you also wondered that many northerners children are not of school. We should encourage brilliant children to excel and effort should be concentrated more on 18 million Nigerian children who are out of school
You are Wong my brother.
This is not the issue of northerner. Are you a teacher? She speaks as a professional teacher. Most of those people saying all these skipped some classes for their children. What yardstick do you measure intelligence. Because a child is intelligent doesn't necessarily overule experience. You can't compare a child who complete 12 years and nursery class without skipping steps to a child who is jumped not attend Primary Six and SS3. Besides the national policy of education in 2013 signed by a minister from Niger Delta-Nyesom Wike puts.
Pre-primary education-3-6
Primary-6-12
Secondary-6-18
So this is y 18 years is the minimum age. This is applicable in UK and US. So a child skipped classes and is called genius.
Why are we being diverted from supposed policies that will put food on the common man's table in this country
Under 18s should not be allowed to enter any university because they are not adults, period. We have to adopt what is good for the generality of the population. Very good move to end this nonsense in Nigeria.
@@elani6507 University Boards set the age at 16. I believe they know the children are mentally and emotionally sound at 16. It is not a requirement to be an adult before enrolling in University. The world is evolving and the Minister himself does not live in a cave and uses smart phones and technology. Why is he not living his life like he was 42 years ago without technology?
Supporting the move anyway..... Cos if only you do teach this children,u Will know they are truly not matured to be exposed to the four corners of the university.... Talking about education, the 2 years mostly that they end up having as spare before eighteen can be used to gain other form of knowledge...... How many people de even get job after school.
Oga na lie you dey lie.
We are strictly talking about age .
Frank doesn't need to abuse the other analysts to drive home his point. I will not subscribe to 18 but 17. Frank is a very bad analyst and very partial.
The Barrister is very apt. The Ministry Of Education set 10 years as minimum age to enrol in Secondary Schools. So University entry age should be 16 not 18. They must be 16 at the time of enrollment not at the time of writing the Examinations. The Minister is of age. He needs to be very sure about the Ministry's policies before coming out publicly to feed us with contradictory assertions making the Ministry appear confused.
