FG reveals plan to introduce new curriculum for secondary schools

By Abdullahi Yusuf

The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, announced on Thursday that a new curriculum for secondary schools across Nigeria will be implemented by September 2024.

This announcement was made during the 2024 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) policy meeting in Abuja.

“We are working hard to ensure that a new curriculum is introduced for secondary schools by September,” stated Mamman. He explained that the curriculum development has been ongoing for the past year, with a stakeholders meeting scheduled for August 6, 2024, to finalize the details.

“It is our plan that by September, this programme will be implemented in all schools, public and private,” Mamman added.

The initiative is part of broader efforts to address the significant challenges facing secondary education in Nigeria. The National Senior Secondary School Education Commission has highlighted several issues, including infrastructural deficits, unqualified teachers, obsolete curriculums, and inadequate libraries and laboratories.

By introducing a new curriculum, the Federal Government aims to modernize and improve the quality of education, ensuring that students receive an up-to-date and comprehensive education that prepares them for higher education and the workforce.
