President Muhammadu Buhari through 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.
