As a Nigeria or African student who just finished with his/her SSCE examinations, most times, you are told to wait and even read the more will you wait to gain admission into the tertiary institution. This has been a regular routine for most students. Parents are the most particular about just studying before you are admitted into a University, Polytechnic or College of Education.
Some other time, these students themselves don’t want to do anything with their minds and hands. A lot are concerned about the following:
- Social gatherings (Parties)
- Hanging out with friends
- Seeing Movies all day long
- Chatting with friends, etc.
Looking at all the above you will realize that all the activities listed are time consuming. It makes them not to do anything reasonable with their time as they value social actives more than developing themselves. This is where parents should come in because, they should be more concerning about who their wards are becoming rather than being concerned about school. These students should be taught to develop skills which will be to their own advantages later in the future instead of just sitting at home and doing nothing meaningful.
