The Federal Government has approved the inclusion of Mandarin as one of the international languages to be taught in senior secondary schools across Nigeria.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by Dr Danlami Hayyo, Secretary of Education for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), during the commissioning of the 14th Chinese Corner at Government Secondary School, Tudun Wada, Abuja.
Hayyo noted that the FCT had shown foresight by introducing Mandarin through the Chinese Corners initiative, adding that the newly inaugurated centre forms part of broader cultural and educational exchanges.
The Chinese Corner project, sponsored by China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation as part of its corporate social responsibility, has now reached 14 schools in the FCT.
