He claims that the government will adjust the plans over the next three months to guarantee that the curriculum is completely implemented in both public and private schools beginning in January of the following year.
Among other things, this includes improving infrastructure, creating teacher guides, and training educators.
He clarified that the curriculum was created to give Nigerian students 21st-century skills so they could become employers, become self-sufficient, and make significant contributions to the nation's progress.
He reiterated how out of date the previous curriculum was—it had been in use since 2012. The new curriculum, once implemented, would make graduates from Nigerian institutions globally competitive.
The Minister emphasized that Basic Digital Literacy—which covers robotics and IT—has been added to the list of regular subjects with the recently added disciplines.
"We provide Bakery and Confectioneries together with Event Management and Decoration in the Hospitality and Leisure sector. We also offer interior design, makeup, and hair styling.
GSM repairs, CCTV, intercom installation and maintenance, solar installation and maintenance, and satellite or TV antenna installation are all included in the services sector.
In addition, we have agriculture and processing, garment making, beekeeping, horticulture, sheep and goat farming, chicken and rabbit farming, and crop production. We've added roughly 15 additional trades in total for Basic Education, he said.
According to the Minister, students would learn about all career-related topics in school, but in the end, they would be allowed to select one or two entrepreneurial trades to graduate with.
With an emphasis on skills, the new curriculum aims to blend knowledge, skills, and values. This guarantees that graduates have employable skills that will enable them to contribute to society and lead fulfilling lives.
He mentioned that the purpose of the stakeholders' conference was to work out the details of how the new Basic Education curriculum will be supported, monitored, evaluated, and implemented smoothly.
