When the Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, announced the new policy, stakeholders from various tertiary institutions reacted strongly, causing a disruption.
According to Daily Trust, their vocal objections compelled the Minister to halt his speech temporarily until order was restored.
Responding to complaints from the participants, he emphasised that the law mandates children to be in school by the age of 18, following six years of primary education, three years of junior secondary, and three years of senior secondary schooling.
