MATTERS ARISING: UNDER-AGED CHILDREN IN UNIVERSITIES.
Academic excellence should be celebrated but are we paying enough attention to the emotional, psychological, social and developmental readiness of children who enter university at very young ages?
This is not about discouraging gifted children. It is about asking the difficult questions now, before tomorrow’s challenges become tomorrow’s crisis.
We need a national conversation involving parents, educators, universities, the Ministry of Education, Ghana Education Service, GTEC, child-protection agencies, health professionals and policymakers.
📌 How do we balance academic acceleration with child protection?
📌 Are our institutions adequately prepared to support very young students?
📌 What safeguards are needed?
Our children deserve opportunities to excel—but they also deserve protection, guidance and holistic development.
Let’s address the issue today, before it becomes a bigger educational challenge tomorrow.
