The Federal Ministry of Education has confirmed that the minimum age for admission into Junior Secondary School 1 (JSS1) remains 10 years and has not been raised to 12.
This response followed a report online suggesting that the entry age had been increased.
The clarification was contained in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja by the Ministry’s Director of Press, Mrs. Folasade Boriowo, as reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
