Junaidu revealed that the implementation of the developed curricula of the 34 trade Subjects in the Senior Secondary Schools nationwide had been in place for the past eleven (11) years.

He added that the council had initiated the process for the review of the Curriculum and that further consultations were ongoing with stakeholders on the areas that need to be reviewed.

The Executive Secretary of NSSEC, speaking in the same vein said the Federal Government was poised to encourage skills acquisition by students in the nation’s senior secondary schools.

Dr Abakpa reiterated that the Senior Secondary Education curriculum must be appropriately developed to serve the interest of the nation.
