The Federal Ministry of Education has announced that in order to
reduce the workload of primary and junior secondary pupils, they will be
cutting down subjects from 20 to a maximum of ten subjects under the
nine-year basic educational curriculum in order to align with
International standards.
To achieve this, the ministry of Education will be partnering with the
Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC). However,
subjects like Christian Religious Studies (CRS) and Islamic Religious
Studies (IRS), which are separately taught, will now be merged under a
compulsory subject known as Religion and National Values (RNV). Other
subjects brought under the RNV include Civic Education, Social Studies,
and Security Education.
A few Nigerians have reacted to the announcement and here is what they have to say(see reactions above)
