Does this award make sense? Excellence award, rewarding the tallest in a class

[Augusta]

A Nigerian mum was taken aback when she attended an award/prize giving day in a school recently and a plaque was given to one of the students for being the ‘’Tallest female student'' in her class.



Bewildered by the category for the Award, the woman made a video to vent while questioning the reason for such an award.

‘’Does this award make sense? Excellence award, rewarding the tallest in a class! Does it even make sense? Who are the regulators of the Education system in Nigeria? I think you have to start probing all these educational awards that private schools are releasing because I do not understand what is going on.

What's your thoughts on this?

Honestly, the award doesn't make sense. In fact, i have to remove mu child or wards from the school because it shows that the school management is fill of dullards who can't think beyond their nose! What a shame!

That is ridiculous as though the winner has worked hard over it The prize should go to the one who excels in studies and that is what is normal in any school

I find it quite odd that there is such an award at the school. It seems unusual to me, as I have never encountered that kind of award in the school I attended.

If it's a school, the awards given needs to be based on educational grades and notting else. Unfortunately the Nigerian school system has come up with even award for most handsome and so on in school.
