The federal government has banned underage children from participating in the National Common Entrance Examination for admission into Unity Schools across the
After monitoring the exercise at the Federal Government Girls College, Bwari and Government Day Secondary School, Bwari Abuja, he expressed unhappiness with the underage persons taking the examination.
“This year, I have advice for parents and I beg you, take this advice to any single home you know. We are killing our children by allowing underage children to write the Common Entrance Examination. “I beg parents, let these children do the exams when they should. We don’t get value by pushing your child too far. Most of the times if a child starts too early, he or she will have problems later in life.
“We are getting to a stage where education is what can you use your knowledge to do for the society. You put a small child to go through all the rigours, by the time he finishes secondary, getting to university becomes a problem. I had that experience with a friend. Till date that friend has not got into a university, simply because he was put into school earlier than the age he was supposed to be put in.
