The Federal Government has announced the successful completion of a comprehensive review of curricula across basic, senior secondary, and technical education levels.

Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmad, disclosed this on behalf of the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa. The announcement was contained in a statement released in Abuja on Sunday by Mrs. Folasade Boriowo, Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education.

For Junior Secondary School, students will offer 12–14 subjects; Senior Secondary students will take 8–9 subjects; while technical schools will run 9–11 subjects,” the minister said.

She commended stakeholders for their contributions and assured that the Federal Government will ensure proper monitoring of the implementation process to guarantee a smooth transition and effective adoption nationwide.
