Three Weeks After School Resumption, FG To Launch New School Curriculum October

Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, has announced that a new school curriculum will take effect from October 2024.

This move comes three weeks after schools resumed for the 2024/2025 Academic Session.

He disclosed this to State House correspondents after President Bola Tinubu presided over the federal executive council meeting at the presidential Villa recently.

According to him, the revised curriculum, aimed at both primary and secondary schools, is designed to address the ongoing concerns surrounding the behaviour and values of young Nigerians.

Mamman said, “There is a general concern about the behaviour and conduct of our young ones in the country and our social values, and civic education is compulsory in secondary schools. But with all that, we still have some deterioration and serious concerns about our national values.

“So we are rolling out a new curriculum for primary schools and secondary schools in Nigeria from this October, which is supposed to incorporate knowledge, skills and values, especially with a special focus on skills, so that our students, when they graduate, they will have skills that they can connect with the economy.”

Meanwhile, Oasis Magazine gathered that
the subject, Physical and Health Education, PHE, is now a stand alone subject based on the new school curriculum that will take effect from October.
