Education Minister Announces New Secondary School Curriculum by September 2024
The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, revealed during the 2024 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board policy meeting in Abuja that a new curriculum for secondary schools nationwide will be introduced by September 2024.
According to Mamman, the process of developing this new curriculum has been ongoing for the past year, with a stakeholders’ meeting scheduled for August 6, 2024, to finalize the details.
“We are working diligently to ensure that by September, a new curriculum will be rolled out across all secondary schools, both public and private,” Mamman stated, emphasizing the comprehensive nature of the upcoming educational reform.
Recent concerns raised by the National Senior Secondary School Education Commission regarding the state of senior secondary education in Nigeria, including infrastructural deficits, teacher qualifications, outdated curricula, and inadequate facilities like libraries and laboratories, have underscored the urgent need for educational reform at the secondary level.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
