Digital Minimalism for Children: Nurturing Focus in a Hyper-connected World

In today’s world, screens are everywhere. From educational apps to entertainment, children are growing up surrounded by technology. While digital tools offer many benefits, we must also acknowledge the hidden costs of excessive screen time: shortened attention spans, reduced creativity, challenges with emotional regulation, impaired academic performance, and irregular sleep.
This is where digital minimalism comes in. Originally a concept for adults, digital minimalism is about being intentional with technology use – choosing reduced dependence on the internet, your smartphones, computers, and other devices, and regain control over your intentions, focus, and freedom to choose. Applied to children, it means guiding them to use technology in ways that enrich their learning, creativity, and relationships, while protecting them from overexposure and distraction.
Why It Matters
 Attention & Focus – Constant notifications and endless scrolling train the brain for distraction. Children need space to build deep focus for learning and play.
 Emotional Health – Overconsumption of digital media can trigger comparison, anxiety, and mood swings, even in young minds.
 Creativity & Imagination – Children thrive on boredom—it sparks creativity. If every free moment is filled with a screen, imagination struggles to flourish.
Practical Steps for Parents & Educators
• Set Tech Boundaries: Define screen-free zones (like mealtimes or bedrooms) and screen-free hours.
• Model Minimalism: Children learn from what they see. Be intentional about your own digital habits.
• Encourage Active, Not Passive Use: Opt for apps and programs that involve creation (drawing, coding, storytelling…) instead of endless consumption.
• Balance with Offline Activities: Reading, outdoor play, and hands-on hobbies build the skills that screens can’t replace.
• Teach Digital Mindfulness Early: Help children reflect on how they feel after using technology—energized, distracted, or drained. This helps to build self-awareness.
A New Kind of Digital Literacy
Digital minimalism for children is not about rejecting technology—it’s about teaching balance, discernment, and intentional use. As parents, educators, and mentors, we have the responsibility to equip the next generation with not just digital skills, but digital wisdom.
In the end, the goal isn’t to eliminate screens. It’s to ensure that technology serves our children, not the other way around.

Jamb Issues Strict Guidelines for Under Age Applicants

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said it has introduced strict new rules for under-16 candidates seeking admission into universities for the 2025/2026 academic session.

JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, announced the measures during a virtual meeting with vice chancellors, stating that the board will no longer allow psychologically and emotionally unprepared children into universities.

This follows a government policy setting the minimum admission age at 16, with rare exceptions for outstanding candidates.

To qualify, Oloyede said qunderage applicants must Score at least 320 in UTME,Score a minimum of 80% in post-UTME and Obtain 80% in a single sitting of WAEC or NECO

He added that Candidates cannot combine WAEC and NECO results noting that Science students must include Mathematics, and arts students must include English.

Thanks guidelines also stipulated that all under-16 applicants must undergo a separate post-UTME, even if their chosen institution has suspended it for others.

Not only that a 23-member committee chaired by Oloyede will conduct the screening in Abuja, Lagos, and Owerri.

A fourth layer of evaluation affective and psychomotor assessments has also been introduced with a subcommittee led by Prof. Taoheed Adedoja, to design the screening framework.

Out of over 38,000 underage applicants, only 599 scored above 320 and are eligible for possible consideration.

JAMB has removed all underage candidates from its admissions platform (CAPS). Institutions must seek approval before admitting them or risk sanctions.

Four universities, AFIT Kaduna, ATBU Bauchi, University of Jos, and Osun State University have declared they will not accept underage students.

*WASSCE 2025: Only 38.32% pass English, Mathematics with five credits*

The West African Examinations Council revealed a sharp decline in performance compared to the previous year, following the release of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination results for school candidates.

Out of a total of 1,969,313 candidates who sat the examination across 23,554 schools, only 754,545 candidates — representing 38.32 per cent — obtained a minimum of five credits, including English Language and Mathematics. This marks a significant 33.8 per cent drop from the 72.12 per cent recorded in 2024

Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, August 4, 2025, at WAEC’s national headquarters in Yaba, Lagos, the Head of Nigeria National Office, Dr Amos Dangut, attributed the drop in performance to the Council’s new approach of serialising objective test papers in key subjects such as English, Mathematics, Biology, and Economics.

“This approach drastically reduced the incidence of collusion and made examination malpractice more difficult. We observed a dip in the performance of objective papers, but essay papers remained consistent with previous years. It’s a strong signal that candidates must rely on their own preparation,” Dangut said.

The examination was conducted between April 24 and June 20, 2025, while coordination and marking took place from July 3 to 21. WAEC also deployed a real-time digital scoring system to enhance the speed and accuracy of result processing.

Of the total candidates, 1,517,517 (77.06 per cent) had their results fully processed and released, while 451,796 (22.94 per cent) are still being processed due to technical issues, which WAEC assured would be resolved in the coming days.

On examination malpractice, 192,089 results — representing 9.75 per cent — are currently being withheld for offenses including the use of banned mobile phones and collusion. This is a slight improvement from the 11.92 per cent withheld in 2024.

"These unscrupulous elements have become a thorn in the Council’s flesh. Some even use our name to distribute fake messages. We’ve apprehended some of them, and appropriate sanctions will be applied,” Dangut stated.

He also noted that states owing WAEC would not be able to access the results of their sponsored candidates until outstanding debts are cleared.

Meanwhile, 12,178 candidates with special needs registered for the 2025 WASSCE. Of these, 112 were visually impaired, 615 had hearing challenges, 52 were mentally challenged, and 37 had physical disabilities. WAEC confirmed that all were provided with the necessary support.

On gender distribution, 976,787 candidates (49.60%) were male, while 992,526 (50.40%) were female.

Of the 754,545 who passed with five credits including English and Maths, females outperformed males — accounting for 53.99 per cent (407,353) of the successful candidates, while males made up 46.01 per cent (347,192).

This year’s exam also marked a significant milestone as WAEC allowed candidates to choose between the traditional paper-and-pencil format and a computer-based test (CBT) option — part of the Council’s move toward full digitisation by 2026.

“This year’s exam placed us as a foremost examining body to have conducted an achievement test using a computer-based format,” Dangut said.

The results were officially released on Monday via WAEC’s X handle. Candidates have been directed to access their results by visiting

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), wishes to inform candidates, stakeholders and the general public that there is now a time limit for them to challenge the decisions of the Nigeria Examinations Committee (NEC) on examination malpractice cases. This is because NEC, which is the Council's....

Minimum Age for Admission Remains 16
Anyone younger than 16 is not eligible for admission — regardless of their JAMB score.
Medical Courses Still Most Competitive
Over 570,000 candidates applied for Medical Sciences.
Only about 115,000 can be admitted.
That’s less than 1 in 5 applicants — make sure your backup plans are solid!
*Final Words for Students and Parents:*
The game has changed.
Your child scoring 300+ is great — but if they rank 200,000th, it might not mean much.
Focus on rank, stay alert, and act fast on every admission offer.
