FG Launches New Curriculum to Enhance Student Skills and Reduce Workload

Minister of Education, Maruf Tunji Alausa, praised the Federal Government's launch of a new curriculum aimed at reducing student workload and enhancing skills. The curriculum overhaul includes a focus on digital literacy and trade skills to modernize education and shift from rote memorization to practical learning.

The reform aims to make learning more functional and effective, allowing children to explore meaningful education. The new system will reduce the number of subjects students study, with a focus on core subjects and elective options.

This initiative is seen as a significant step towards improving the quality of education in Nigeria and preparing students for a rapidly evolving job market.
