In Nigeria today, there are many underaged students in schools as today’s parents seems to be in a hurry to see their children graduate from primary school very early, move into secondary school, university and be a graduate in no time.
It has been observed that in most cases children that are not matured enough to be in the university do face emotional and psychological difficulties coupled with little or no native knowledge and wisdom to deal with various decision making exercises humans battle with everyday. Such ones may do well academically but in all something will still be missing in them due to their immaturity. This is why this information is very important for all.
Preparatory class 0-2 years old ( this can be done at home)
Formal Education:
Nursery (though kindergaten in some schools)
Nursery 1 = 2-3 years old
Nursery 2 = 3-4 years old
Kindergarten (though nursery in some schools) KG 1 = 4-5 years old
KG 2 = 5-6 years old
Basic Education:
Lower Basic Class
Basic One = 6-7 years old
Basic Two = 7-8 years old
Basic Three = 8-9 years old
Middle Basic Class
Basic Four = 9-10 years old
Basic Five = 10-11 years old
Basic Six = 11 – 12years old
Upper Basic Class
Basic Seven (Jss 1) = 12 – 13 years old
Basic Eight (Jss 2) = 13 – 14 years old
Basic Nine (Jss 3) = 14 – 15 years old
Secondary School
SS 1 = 15 – 16 years old
SS 2 = 16 – 17 years old
SS 3 = 17 – 18 years old
Transition year

There is a reason why we must follow these age grades because when we rush our children, we must be ready to help them face the psychological stress.
