The Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Colleges of Education, Prof. Bappa-Aliyu Muhammadu, has recommended that children should start their primary one at the age of five or six.

He premised his recommendation on the fact that there were some faculties that had to be developed for the children to reason, appreciate and get orientation about themselves and their surroundings.

Muhammadu stated this in an interview with The PUNCH in Abuja after the conferment of an award on him by a non-governmental organisation.“This is an opportunity for children that are starters to have a year or two before being enrolled into primary one. Personally, I will like children to start their primary one when they are five or six years old because there are some faculties that have to be developed for them to reason, appreciate and get orientation about themselves and their surroundings.

“In child development or psychology, it is expected that the reasoning ability of a child should relate to his physical and mental development. “Some people enrol their child at less than even five years and they make it. But we are saying for a balanced child development as a strategy, six years is a very good period for that child to enrol in primary one so that he or she will spend nine years in basic education.

“By the time he is going to Senior Secondary School, he is around 15 years and that is very good; have four years of university education and the child will be around 19 or 20 years depending on strikes and other maladjustments.”All rights reserved.

Age 5 should be in Primary 1.

And graduate 40

The man is right, as he said age 5/6 years should be in primary one. And that's what the basics learning has been doing. So by age 11yrs you are out of primary school to secondary. Read the content don't judge by the heading

When children at that age in Japan are playing with electrical/electronic panel board. Uselessness of useless leaders

Obviously these fools don't learn anything when they visit developed countries

Why is it that everything in Nigeria is backwardness ?this is not our grandfather's days where they will tell you if your hand can't touch your ear you can't start school Nigeria grow up for once una shame dey shame me

When age 5/6 in anoda country has been placed in his/her field of profession already

Which kind mumu country be this wey my parents come from na? 🥲🥲😭

Too early, they should start at 18

So that by the time they graduate they won't meet up with job opportunities asking for 26years graduates with four years experience. Set awon oniranu

E go still graduate at 20 and waka upandan de find job.

I concur ....here na we de 1st go school and yet come out not learning anything but in abroad an 18 year old is still in high school

See me see mum pple

Then when will he or she graduate and gain 10 years experience and still be 20 years

Good later they will be asking for graduate at 18 with 5 years experience,this country l,God please come and take me away from this place,to a better place where the government care about it's citizens.

EndSARS watch this video Most corrupt politicians in Nigeria👉🏽 and don't forget to subscribe to the YouTube channel

With companies asking for 5 years experience with age range from 22_25 years old

Are we going back to the days where your hand has to go over your head to touch your ear?

Maybe advisable for those that are rich nd certain about private universities or foreign studies but those that are still planning on using Jamb to enter public schools and pass through Asuu should please start the journey of their uncertain steps very early

And when they graduate, employment requirement is minimum 24 years. This is one of the most heartbreaking thing in 9ja employment, same reason why people find it hard to switch discipline or too scared of an extra semester. I wonder what our legislators do

They want us to have school age in this country again

That is why we have a NANS president whose age is 43years.

Start school at 5 in a government that only offers jobs to age 25 with 6 years working experience after spending 6 years in school for 3 years cause do to strike

What do you expect from a boss with questionable qualifications.. bunch of idiots advertising shame

NCCE Boss no well for head, so that age limitation will catch up with them during job search, with all the unnecessary strike in Nigerian Eduction

See crazy idea !!!!,

The rest of the world start at 3

Looking for a particular e-book? Say no more! Let me be you e-book plug for a token. Books ranging from personal development, religion, finance/business, science/fiction, romance, etc..I could get them for you in PDF, FB2, MOBI, and EPUB formats..dm with the book title and author

So they can graduate at 32 years abi?

Yeah, and they should have 5 years job experience 25 Plus, most job positions should be for people below 26 years.

Okay 5 years right For primary school 8 years Secondary 6 years University 4 to 7 because of ASUUNGR strike Like graduating for 25 years Now one student firm will say applicant should be at most 24 years with 2 years experience We are all mad and crazy

Said by a fool

Yes if the system is good and no strikes in the university stage. This is actually the right age even abroa. But parents are scared of delays that’s why they rush kids into school

10yrs+ is preferable...awon eleribu
