Minister Of Education Debunks News Of Prohibiting Under 18 Admission | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE

The Federal Ministry of Education has debunked the trending rumors of it disapproving University admissions to under 18 students.

Daily Report Nigeria recalls that an information had earlier been spread about the Ministry of Education not allowing students less than 18 seat for the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the National Examinations Council (NECO) exams.

While speaking to newsmen on Friday, September 6, at the 2024 International Literacy Day, the State minister of education, Dr Yusuf Sununu said that the public misconception is false, and disappointing.

The statement that the minister was actually speaking on the 18 years of entry age into the tertiary institutions as was practiced in the 6:3:3:4 system of education.

 

“We have agreed that we are going to consider it as a work-in-progress. The National Assembly is working and we are also working. It was shocking to say that a university in this country gave admission to children at ages 10, 11 and 12 years. This is totally wrong. 

We are not saying that there are no exceptions, we know we can have talented students that have the IQ of an adult even at age 6 and 7, but these are very few.

There must be a rule, and the ministry is looking at developing a guideline on how to identify a talented child, so that parents don’t say we are blocking their children’s chances.

Nobody said no child will write WAEC, NECO or any other examination unless at age 18. This is a misconception and misrepresentation of what we have said” he said
