FG reviews school curricula, introduces new subject limits

The Federal Government has unveiled revised curricula for basic, senior secondary, and technical education, setting new subject limits to ease content overload and improve learning outcomes.

Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Sai’d Ahmad, who announced the development on behalf of the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, said the review was undertaken in collaboration with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), UBEC, NSSEC, NBTE, and other key stakeholders.

The new framework, which takes effect from the 2025/2026 academic session, seeks to strike a balance between subject offerings and practical learning. Under the plan, pupils in Primary 1–3 will take 9–10 subjects, those in Primary 4–6 will offer 10–12, Junior Secondary School students will study 12–14, Senior Secondary students will take 8–9, while technical school students will be limited to 9–11 subjects.

According to Ahmad, the revised curricula are tailored to reduce pressure on learners, create more time for in-depth study, and align education with present-day realities.

The ministry, in a statement signed by its Director of Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo, commended the contributions of stakeholders and assured that implementation will be strictly monitored to ensure a smooth transition across schools nationwide.
