The Federal Government has introduced a new curriculum for primary and secondary schools in Nigeria to reduce academic overload and enhance skill acquisition. The revised curriculum includes new subjects such as Digital Technologies and Business Studies, aimed at aligning the nation's education system with global standards.

Primary pupils will now study subjects like Basic Digital Literacy Studies and have the option to take French. Secondary students will have the opportunity to study Digital Technologies and Business Studies as compulsory subjects, with trade options available.

This curriculum reform follows extensive consultations with education stakeholders and is intended to equip Nigerian students with relevant skills for the future job market.
