FG to introduce new secondary school curriculum in September

The Federal Government is set to introduce a new curriculum for all secondary schools across the country by September 2024.

The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, who disclosed this to journalists, said the ministry is working hard to ensure that a new curriculum is introduced for secondary schools when the new academic session starts.

Mamman noted that the exercise has been on in the past year, and a stakeholders’ meeting on the new curriculum would be held on August 6.

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

Recently, the National Senior Secondary School Education Commission (NSSSEC) decried the deplorable state of secondary schools in the country, and called for collaboration to overcome some of the challenges confronting the sub-sector.

The commission listed some of the challenges confronting the sector, to include infrastructural deficit, unqualified teachers, obsolete curriculum, and deplorable libraries and laboratories.
