Nigeria's Minister of Education plans to review and potentially set the minimum age for tertiary education at 18 years.
Nigeria's Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, plans to review and potentially set the minimum age for entry into tertiary institutions at 18 years. The minister is concerned that some students are too young and not mature enough to handle university life. He advises parents to avoid pressuring their children into tertiary education at a young age. The 18-year benchmark would align with the 6-3-3-4 education system.
