Christ Nursery and Primary School, Garriki

OUR DEAR PARENTS

*Primary school education used to be 7 years, Then 6years. At a point in time, due to peer and parental influence it became 5 years* against government's policies.

These days parents will be struggling for the child to be in primary 1 by 4 years old. By 8 years the child would have completed primary 4 expecting to proceed to primary 5 . *This same parent will now try to dodge primary 5*.

Some will even insist on double promotion from primary 3 to primary 5 thereby cutting a year off. *Not caring about the mental growth of the child*. The parent will *insist that the child proceed to Jss1*.

*At this point the teachers must perform magic* so that the years missed will not affect the child *otherwise the game of changing schools begins*. Forgetting that the *child has not gone through the proper stages* of development intellectually.
Then this child will be influenced through college too.

*When this child gets to JSS 2 at 10 years old the parent will insist the child sits for BECE* or junior NECO. By 11 or 12 he will be in SS 1.

*When he gets to SS 2 he will be made to sit for WAEC, NECO and JAMB*. By this time the poor *child is either 12 or 13* .At worst 14.
The child will sit for these exams and *probably pass by influence too*.

He will *get into the University at age 14 or less*. When he gets there, we would have succeeded in influencing the speed of his education by cutting corners, *but have we succeeded in influencing his mental and psychological growth?*

NO.

This poor kid is now an under- graduate, surrounded by worldly wisdom and people from different walks of life. He is thrown into a life he is not ready for. He thinks he is an adult. He becomes a prey to those who want to take advantage of his naivety.

*Most of the time he will find himself lieing about his age so that he can belong*.

He starts keeping secrets from parents. *The parents will think he is still the little boy they assume he is*.

Celebration continues!!!!
