On the economy-related caveat, the experts contend that it is obvious that the economic challenges are much more severe than initially anticipated. The education sector is not an exception. Teachers need to be paid, parents also need additional help to keep children busy, while they return to work and a myriad of other economic realities.
This story is swirling to a happy ending. As I noted earlier, the Federal Ministry of Education, in league with stakeholders, released on July 13, a very comprehensive set of guidelines which will address the concerns of medical experts, anxious parents and school proprietors. Under no circumstance should government permit students to plunge into any external examination, especially WAEC SSCE, without at least six weeks of revision when back in school.
I am convinced that Mallam Adamu Adamu, the honourable minister of Education, does not want to experiment with the lives of Nigerian children and end up being blamed by the same parents who want their children to rush to the WAEC SSCE examination hall on August 4.
