Sure! Let’s rewrite this blog post in a way that is simple and easy to understand for everyone, keeping the HTML tags intact:
The people at the 2024 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) meeting were surprised when the Minister of Education, Prof Mamman Tahir, said that students must be 18 years old or older to get into higher institutions.
As soon as the Minister said this, the crowd shouted, “no, no, no.” But Tahir said it is already a rule because the government thinks students are more mature at 18 years old.
He also said that if anyone is unhappy with this rule, they can ask the National Assembly to change it.
The JAMB policy meeting happens every year. People from different colleges and universities come together to decide the cut-off marks for admissions for the year.
Before this, Mamman had talked about how younger students in higher institutions might get into trouble because they are not mature enough.
More information will come later…
There you go! This version is simple and direct, so even young readers can understand it.
