<guid>https://flashupdates.com.ng/Policy-sparks-backlash-as-stakeholders-warn-of-potential-setbacks-in-Nigerias-education-sector.</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Federal Government&#039;s decision to set 18 as the minimum age for taking the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations (SSCE) has sparked widespread criticism from key stakeholders in Nigeria&#039;s education sector. They argue that the policy could hinder educational progress, stifle gifted students, and fail to adapt to modern societal changes.

The new age policy, set to take effect in 2025, aims to ensure students are emotionally mature before entering tertiary institutions. However, educators, parents, and academic unions fear the move will leave younger students idle and unchallenged, potentially dragging the education sector backward. The policy has already prompted threats of legal action and calls for broader consultation and legislative review. ]]></description>
