THE CHILDREN IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS
Children in primary schools are categorized according to their capabilities, and abilities to learn. The following should be considered when categorising the children in primary schools;
1. Slow learners
2. Average learners
3. Fast learners
* slow learners are the learners that do not understand lessons quickly in the classroom, such learners are observed right from the time they started their primary school, when ever a teacher observe a slow leaner in his or her classroom an extra care should be given to such learners, if possible an extra lesson should be given to them.
* average learners: these are the learners that are in between the slow learners and fast learners, they neither learn fast nor slow, this type of learners can some times change to fast learners if they are forced to. When ever I teacher discover such pupils, he or she should give them extra care and motivation, so as to create a way to change them to become fast learners.
* Fast learners; these are the types of learners that understand lessons immediately from the beginning, they are very easy to teach and reduce work for teachers, when ever such children are discovered in primary school, they should be mixed with the other members of the class, so as to create competition among the children, that may promote the will to learn for the children.
In northern Nigeria most a times some teachers find it difficult to identify the exceptional children that learn faster and can easily remember because of the problem of the technical know how. And finally at the end of basic Education the children failed to proceed with the education because of the life challenges, the male enter the labour market for struggling to survive, while the female stay at home to wait for husband. This is sometimes as a result of affordability from the parent.
