Nigeria’s Federal Government is shaking things up in the education sector! Minister of Education, Prof Tahir Mamman, just announced that every student must graduate with at least two skills under the new curriculum for Basic and Senior Secondary Education. This change is designed to equip students with skills that align with the economy, ensuring they lead productive lives ¹.
The new curriculum will focus on knowledge, skills, and values, with a special emphasis on skills to keep up with technology’s rapid disruption of industries, including education. Prof Mamman highlighted the importance of a well-designed curriculum in determining sustainable development, quality, and relevance in education.
But that’s not all – the Education Ministry is also implementing the Education Transformation Agenda, aimed at overhauling the education sector to ensure quality learning, skill development, access, and equity. The government is committed to protecting and ensuring inclusive, equitable quality education for all
learners, adhering to international protocols and conventions.
This move is part of Nigeria’s broader efforts to transform its education system. The country recognizes the transformative power of education in shaping individuals and driving national development ². With initiatives like the Education Sector Support Programme, Nigeria is working to improve basic education services, addressing challenges and promoting demand for better education services
