What is tax exemption? You people are wicked and criminal. You collect taxes from jobless and homeless people and come here to post trash! Awon Ole! You people are very heartless and ungodly! You treat the poor like dirt. You talk nonsense about people going back to their villages as if Lagos indigenes are not part of the victims of this your elitist and corrupt policies, geared at extracting money from the public for Tinubu and his cronies! Continue to stuff your pockets with stolen money and if you like, concession everything to Tinubu's family. One day na one day! Ole buruku!

I thought we could have an educated debate but you result to this? wow!!! If Tinubu is your problem, deal with him! That has nothing to do with being a responsible citizen. You were quick to mention Japan in your earlier post. Is it possible to live in Japan and not file you taxes as at when due even as a foreigner? In US (Including "legal foreigners" with no SSN) the poorest of the poor living on food stamps must file taxes to the IRS before April or they risk jail or fine. I REPEAT "IF YOU ARE JOBLESS AND HOMELESS, YOU WILL ONLY BE REQUIRED TO FILL AND SIGN SOME PAPERS. YOU WILL NOT PAY A KOBO, IF YOU ARE ASKED TO PAY, REPORT TO THE AUTHORITIES".

Paying/ Filing taxes is your civic responsibility. Nothing is "Ungodly" or "heartless" here. Even Jesus said you should pay 10%!

baby_123:

There are neighboring states and private schools with lower standards. If your child doesnt make the cutoff, find alternatives. It will make the parents sit up and pay attention to what their kids are doing in school. And if the kid needs technical education as opposed to classroom education. Almost free schooling for a state in Nigeria should be a priviledge and not for everyone. As it is the only state that does this free stuff. If i am paying tax for a bunch of kids to go to school, they better be using the opportunity well and turning out smart kids.
U don't get the gist of what shymexx's saying...its d ryt of every child to get basic education and put in its ryt perspective is not about grades atall...its about values, social conformance and adaptability, basic numerical and communication skills and development of latent skills and interests...subjecting a child's mental and social development to a stereotyped teaching and grading system is seriosly flawed...like shymexx infered, it shld be about discovering the child's potential early and harnessing it (this can be part of the solution to our educational woes if the govt and society can build systems that promote it) and not telling them if you don't score 50% + in maths, english, yoruba and science...u will not b promoted and will have to leave school...moreover, your suggestion of parents sending their children to other states with "lower standards" is not realistic, a child's development is hinged on three pillars namely the parents, the school and the society...why take away 1 pillar by sending the child away and far from parental care. U shld have a holistic rethink of your stand...

Tax clearance no be issue. I have a woman who is a petty trader,her husband is irresponsible. She approached me and told me about the issue of tax clearance. I gave her a photocopy of my tax clearance and a passport to stand for her kids in school as their guardian. Abegi,tax clearance no be issue,if u get you can help ur neighbour wey no get.

Education is our fundamental right, and no body is dull or unteachable......denying or giving up on pupils because they fail doesn't help a developing nation like ours...cos if government wouldnot help her own pple , who will?
Everybody deserves a right to quality education.....And dis is why so many educationists are against testing and examination administration as a mean of passing value judgement...but there is no other plausible means.......many fellow nairalanders complained abt bad english......but, in sincerity, things are still better in Nigeria,try to go to other developing countries that were colonised by England...........Government is always our last hope,if they turn away...then where do we go to take succour....according to stastictical value obtain on a survey done by an indian proffesor of Harvard... There are over 250million indian children wth no access to quality education , and their govt is working tireless to make provision for them......this is because they know those children deserve to be well equiped....
And I think it is time our government paid attention to our technical schools......china used that to increase production and empower their pple....here we clamour for quality education and still consume (import) virtually everything..............we need more technocrats in our Government...........if this follows thru is forsee anarchy

Misleading title. What the government has said here is, if you do not score up to 60%, then you cannot be placed in it's model and special colleges.

What is unusual about that?

In the past, the cut off mark for the 6 Model colleges was 85%. With a 90%, you were not even assured a place in Model College Kankon which we saw as the best. With a 70%, you find yourself in Government College Keri - Epe which was still a very good school.

But all that changed along the line, the standards were lowered and these schools lost their value.

It is nothing different from what obtains elsewhere. Can you get into a top college with a poor A' Level result?

JECBOSS: In as much as I understand what the Lagos state govt. is trying to convey, I think Nairaland should replicate this. I'm of the opinion that poor command of English language as usually observed on Nairaland is symptomatic of our falling standards in education.

English Language master. British slave.

Do they speak English in Russia, China, India, Japan, Germany, SPain, France, UAE?

No. These are world power. These are people that matters. They are world best in terms of Economy, Science and Technology, Military.

They do not speak English. They teach chemistry in Chinese. They teach Physics in arabic.

Your type just make me think, our race and generation has no future and hope.

People like just put this fear in my mind. Are we born slave?

God gave you your own language just the way he gave germans, yet you just choose to be loyal slave of your master.

They made you believe you are a slave, they programmed your mind as a slave, they shackled your mentality to be loyal to your colonial master.

When is Africa going to be free?

If English language depicts success, then their should be no poor man in America/US.

I hope you will sit down and stop fooling yourself and your children.

Latinos in America speak their Language freely and most of them refuse to learn English. Most white americans wish they have a mother tongue.

Stop lying. Public schools in Lagos are not free. You people are too full of lies. You cannot even get admitted without showing your tax clearance. Even poor jobless widows had to pay a minimum of 5k to get so called tax clearance for their wards. LASG is a big fraud as ever! Thieves! Ole!
When has paying tax become a crime? It is just to ensure that people pay there tax. At least it's tax payers money they use in running the school.

Whao!!! Can people read Lagos would not ban unintelligent students from its schools, it can not do that. However, the govt has said it would ban students that fail to score above 60% from enrolling in its model schools and some other select schools. Way to go!!!!! Children need to learn the rewards of hard-work at early age!

Good aspiration to set a standard in education sector at least we must start from somewhere and one day we shall get it right but at the same time is an attempt to infringe on a right to education of a child. Like what Aristotle said that every individual possess knowledge but we need someone to help us bring it out. That is why he equated himself to a midwife that helped people delivered their pregnancies. In other words, it is the duty of teachers to help students perform well. For lagos state to justify their action proper things in area of primary education should be done. Also government should not forget background of each student Since it play a vital role in the level of their intelligence

ba7man: The World is now a global village. English is still the most widely spoken Language in the world.

With what you're proposing, a man will watch CNN and won't be able to understand a Word......but when he watches the "Yoruba" news, he'll suddenly come alive.

How will he now be in tune with the World??

Ask China, Russia, France,Japan, Norway and every single country with their own spoken language (some of which have far less speakers than many Nigerian languages). Language is power, and throwing it away is like throwing away food from your feet while you're starving.

English or any other language for that matter, can be learnt as a 2nd language. It's pitful to watch a country such as Nigeria subjugate to this ridiculous wave of English eletism and status bearing.

What is English? Abeg make am go away smiley

Calm down dude.... Paying 3 or 5k tax per annum is fair enough for "the poor" in exchange for tuition-free education. A bricklayer that earns 1k and above for a day's job shouldn't pay tax? Is that your ideal society? A tax-free society?

theoctopus: What is so stup1d about this position is that they dont even know how backward it sounds. In 2013, to think that education is still all about getting 60% is so sad! Please they should send some people to Japan and learn how a modern education system should run. It is about training and preparing kids for their future, not awarding scores and grading students. So daft, this LASG! angry
so what is formal education about?lagos state govt has shown that its not compulsory to attain formal education.they have set up numerous technical schools and vocational centers.but whoever decides to get formal education for his ward has to encourage his ward to study to meet up the standard.

As for those assuming it can't be enforced,its already been enforced.infact many students who had hitherto been promoted as at last session were returned to their previous class for failing either maths or english.I wonder how we expect to develop our formal education sector if we don't have standards.will students miraculously pass maths and english in WAEC?

The law isn't harsh.rather,its timely and necessary moreso alternatives exist in technical and vocational schools

Public schools in Lagos are free save for PTA dues which is less than 500 naira per term or is it session?

This means the government is spending its money on these kids so they have a right to turn down pupils who are don't meet up to a certain standard. In other words NA THEIR MONEY THEM DEY SPEND
