The federal government says a new secondary school
curriculum will be introduced in September 2024.
Tahir Mamman, the minister of education, spoke on Thursday
at the 2024 policy meeting of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB).
He said the plan is to implement the curriculum by September
2024.
The minister said a stakeholders meeting will be held on
August 6 to discuss the matter before implementation commences.
“By September, this
programme will be implemented in all schools, public and private,” the minister
said.
Education stakeholders have repeatedly called for
comprehensive curriculum reform for primary and secondary schools.
Many have voiced concerns that the materials being taught
have not been updated to reflect the advancements in technology, science, and
global perspectives.
At a recently held education conference in Abuja, hundreds
of stakeholders from over 30 countries in Africa asked governments on the
continent to work out standards for the integration of technology into school
curriculum.
They recommended that governments diversify learning
pathways for out-of-school youth by developing flexible technology-enabled
alternatives for learning, accredited certification, and re-entry to the formal
education system.
Also recommended was the need to lower access barriers to
education technology through strategic private-public partnerships that support
responsive, evidence-based policy, and affordable solutions for all.
