Have you ever wondered why is it that there are fewer official learning hours at the higher institutions of learning as compared to being in a primary or secondary school, or in a Junior college? Why is it we have longer hours for the younger students?
Why does it suddenly change at the higher levels? If you argue it is because the older students have a lot of other work to do outside their lectures and tutorials, so do the younger ones. They have tons of homework and revision to do. Help me anyone?
So if the official hours of learning can be reduced drastically at the higher levels, why can’t this be done at the lower levels? Would anyone care to explain what in my view is a very strange but widespread phenomena? Obviously, the curriculum is heavier it seems at the lower levels. But why?
