Teachers across the country have expressed deep concern over the increasing trend of parents and school owners bypassing primary six in the educational system. They argue that this practice is in direct violation of the country’s 6-3-3-4 academic structure.
The criticism was leveled at a recent event marking the 10th anniversary of Al-Azeemah Schools in Magodo, Lagos. Professor Abdulrazaq Alaro, a guest speaker and scholar from the University of Ilorin, highlighted the issue of underage admissions resulting from non-compliance with the 6-3-3-4 system.

“The policy that we have adopted as a nation is 6-3-3-4,but the irony of this issue is that many parents think a child doesn’t have to remain until the end of the sixth year, which itself is a violation of our educational policy,” Alaro stated. He urged parents to prioritize the effectiveness of their children’s education over rushing them through the system.
Echoing similar sentiments,Sheikh Imran Abdulmajeed Eleha, Chief Imam of Daaru Na’im Central Mosque, cautioned parents against allowing their children to skip primary six. He stressed the importance of upholding educational standards, particularly in faith-based institutions.

"Parents are not wiser than the government that set the 6-3-3-4 academic system. The failure to allow children to complete basic education is affecting their performance at the tertiary level,” Sheikh Eleha warned.
