- The practice of hurrying children through education, known as hurried child syndrome, is a significant social issue in Nigeria, particularly in Ebonyi State, affecting children's development and well-being.
- Factors contributing to this syndrome include weak educational policies, a rise in private schools, and the busy lifestyles of parents who want to prepare their children quickly for the future.
- The study highlights that hurried children often face serious psychological issues like depression and anxiety due to high parental expectations, suggesting a need for public awareness and policy reform to mitigate these negative effects.
