Ban  Secondary School Students From Writing External Exams ----- Expert.

The Director, Al-Iman Islamic Schools, Dr. Muhammad Sani-Idris, has advised the Nasarawa State Government to ban secondary school students from writing external examinations while not qualified to do so.He said, “Some students write external examinations, like SSCE organised by WAEC and NECO, while in junior classes; these examinations are meant for those in SS3.”

Sani-Idris, whose organisation has schools in all states of the federation, spoke shortly after visiting the Al-Iman Islamic School in the Nasarawa State capital on Wednesday.Sani-Idris described the “impromptu” sitting of SSCE and other examinations by students yet to complete the necessary education calendar as unhealthy.

He said, “The trend of parents and guardians often rushing their wards to write such examinations when they should be left to patiently learn and complete their education is very unhealthy and detrimental to the educational growth of the children.
