The Osun State Government has announced a ban on graduation ceremonies for nursery and kindergarten pupils across both public and private schools in the state. This decision was made to address concerns over the financial strain on parents and the loss of instructional time caused by such elaborate events.
The government noted that the practice of organizing elaborate graduation ceremonies for Nursery and Kindergarten pupils has become increasingly commercialized, placing unnecessary burdens on families.
The celebrations were also found to be causing a loss of instructional time, which is crucial for the academic development of pupils.Graduation ceremonies and parties will now be restricted to Primary 6 pupils completing their primary education and Senior Secondary School 3 students finishing their secondary education.
The ban on graduation ceremonies for Nursery and Kindergarten pupils is effective immediately, as stated in the circular signed by the Permanent Secretary, M. A. K. Jimoh.
The ban is expected to alleviate the financial burden on parents, who would otherwise be required to spend large sums of money on graduation ceremonies.
The ban will also help to improve instructional time, allowing pupils to focus on their academic development without unnecessary interruptions.
By implementing this policy, the Osun State Government aims to promote a more focused and cost-effective approach to education, prioritizing the academic development of pupils over elaborate ceremonies.
