The Federal Government has stated that the success of the new education curriculum is a result of extensive engagement with stakeholders in the country’s education sector. A recent statement by the Federal Ministry of Education stated that the rollout of the curricula followed extensive nationwide consultations that brought every critical stakeholder to the table.
The statement was signed and made available to newsmen by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Education, Folasade Boriowo. Boriowo said the review was led by the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council under the supervision of the Ministry. According to her, the review adopted both competency and outcome-based approaches to strengthen the curriculum.
“The reform was not a rushed exercise but a step-by-step and participatory process designed to guarantee inclusivity, national ownership, and international relevance. The journey began with a nationwide needs assessment in 12 states to identify gaps in the system. It was followed by dialogues across the six geopolitical zones, where learners, teachers, parents, civil society groups, employers, religious and traditional leaders, policymakers, and development partners all contributed their perspectives,” she said.
