Islamic scholars warn parents, schools against skipping Primary 6

Islamic scholars have criticised parents and school owners for allowing their children to skip Basic Six and promoting them directly to Junior Secondary School One (JSS1), describing it as a violation of Nigeria’s 6-3-3-4 academic system.

The condemnation came during the tenth-year graduation ceremony of Al-Azeemant School and Ibtidaiyah. The Chief Imam of Daaru Na’im Central Mosque, Sheikh Imran Abdulmajeed Eleha, emphasised the importance of adhering to educational standards in faith-based institutions.

“In Islamic faith, our standard is based on understanding the Quran, and it is crucial that faith-based schools set the right educational standards for their students,” he stated.

Sheikh Eleha cautioned parents against allowing their children to skip Basic Six, citing its negative impact on their academic performance. He urged Nigerians and educators to align with the government’s educational policies.

Professor Abdulrazaq Abdulmajeed Alaro from the Faculty of Law, University of Ilorin (Unilorin), noted that non-compliance with the 6-3-3-4 education system has led to underage admissions in the country.

“As a nation, our adopted policy is the 6-3-3-4 system. However, many parents believe it unnecessary for their children to complete the sixth year, which contradicts our educational policies,” he said.
