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!

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.

You are here demonizing your own mother tongue. SMH for your hopeless case. FYI. I can post this comment all over again in Hausa and Yoruba.

I am a proud African. I am nobody's slave.

This is hilarious. Na their money dem dey spend ni? Or are the parents complaining?

Aproko? Or madness? Or they re out of ideas?

Perhaps, they should trim down the number of subjects pupils and students offer.

It'd be awesome if apart from English language and Mathematics, other subjects in which any student isn't good in should be taken off his/her number of subjects in a calender year.

This idea is still subject to scrutiny though.

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.

It's only Nigeria that you'll hear funny stories that turns real.
Imagine, Lagos To Ban Unintelligent Students From Public Schools.
If you ban them, who will teach them to be intelligent? Talking about Banning unintelligent students, is like saying sick people shouldn't go to the hospital for treatment.
GROW UP NAIJA!

theoctopus:

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! So you want jobless masses to produce tax clearance certificates? So you want people living on less than a dollar a day to produce their tax clearance certificates? Olodo! Is it not you folks that go around shouting that Nigerians are all living in abject poverty? So why are you improverishing them more with your anti masses, elitist policies.

Is primary and secondary education not the basic right of every child! Have you ever heard of UN standards for education for children. Have you ever heard of UBE? Olodo!

This is the only state where students pay 250k schools fees per session for a dilapidated helll hole, pubic university. And you still want FG to fund the school. What happened to the exorbitant school fees being paid? Oh, I forgot, it is going straight to okpolo eyes, Tinubu's pockets as part of the concessioning of Lagos state to Tinubu's family and cronies. Hve you installed an Iyaloja for LASU yet? Criminals and evil people. Awon Ole!

wales4real: This is grossly wrong. No child is uninteligent. That word is so offensive. We all have the right to be educated. Vocational studies should be made lucrative by our govt. This is to cater for those who lacked proper early education. Count yourself lucky if u have parents that could afford u proper early education. Some people out there u call 'unintelligent' are better than you but did not have that grace. Peace.

wogor@paradise:
we all hv our callin, prominent persons like albert einstain n others were a failure, but do u knw wut he became before his death? Man of the century for his work on the theory of relativity n others, yet there was a time in his life wen he was a no good

ngozievergreen:

Einstein was never an agbero

macjive01: Thank God!
Thats all we have bern praying for. Level playing ground and let the best win .

Let the olodos, ugly daft Inbreeds to turn to their natural calling, agbero. Omo ni le. Area boys.

Time for the people who has been marginalised and denied opportunities to show their true potential.

There is going to be a MANESFESTATION.

obayaya: misplaced priority!!! what is the essence of school if not to turn the unintelligent students to intelligent or average students.

infolekan:

I don't want you to have a feeling you're unlucky cos I picked out your comment of all the hundreds before you and made it a template for my reply....
Yes, there's something like unintelligent and it's used for people who are not intelligent.
The op probably created the thread with mischief as his sole purpose.
Putting up a pass mark for a pupil is both right morally and educationally.....it stirs the student to read more.
The decadent in the educational sector is not a source of concern to many and it's when policies that will encourage the student to read more comes up that the so called retro progressive people now starts comparing Nigeria to China and the USA and even Ghana.
We all know Nigeria is still a long way off and while the development might not follow that of China or Korea......Lagos is the only state that things seems to be moving at least and the best people do with any progressive information is to compare it to the country with the best standard
