The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced a major change in Nigeria’s education system. It has removed Junior and Senior Secondary School and introduced a new 12-year basic education system. This means that students will now go through continuous schooling for 12 years before moving on to a university or any other higher institution.
The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, made this announcement at a meeting in Abuja. He also stated that the minimum age for students to enter a university or any higher institution will now be 16 years. This new policy aims to make sure students are more mature and better prepared for higher education.
According to the government, this change is meant to reduce the number of students dropping out of school. It will also make education more affordable for parents and help students gain practical skills that will prepare them for jobs and business opportunities. The government believes that this new system will improve the quality of education in Nigeria and make it similar to global standards.
To make this system work, the government plans to introduce new education policies, build more schools, and improve school facilities. Teachers will also be trained to handle the new system, and the school curriculum will be updated to focus more on practical skills.
With this new system, the government hopes to create a better learning experience for students and prepare them for the future.
