History Reintroduced Into Curriculum Of Nigerian Schools

The National Council on Education (NCE) has approved the reintroduction of History into the basic education curriculum of Nigerian schools.

This was according to Professor Josiah Ajiboye, Chief Executive of the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN), who made the disclosure on Thursday.

Professor Ajiboye said the agreement was reached at a meeting held by the NCE in Kano State.

“We were aware of the issues regarding Religious Studies in the present curriculum, which were recently resolved. But, as the government said, the decision to join the religious subjects was reached during the previous administration.

“The NCE held a meeting last week in Kano State where it also agreed that History should be re-introduced into the curriculum,” he said.
