Nigerian Government Affirms Compulsory Subjects for O’Level Candidates

The Federal Government of Nigeria has clarified that Mathematics and English Language are mandatory for all O’Level candidates, emphasizing the importance of these subjects for communication and reasoning skills. The clarification follows misconceptions about the newly introduced O’Level admission framework, ensuring that students are not denied access to higher education due to deficiencies in these core subjects.

The reform aims to promote flexibility and inclusivity in tertiary education admissions, aligning with global best practices.
