Nigeria's New Curriculum Faces Hurdles Due to Shortage of Skilled Teachers
Nigeria's new national curriculum aims to introduce coding, Python, robotics, AI, and digital literacy in secondary schools by September 2025. However, a shortage of skilled teachers capable of delivering these courses poses a significant challenge, especially in rural areas.
The curriculum includes Python programming, Scratch, robotics, internet research, artificial intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity. The government views this as a historic move to modernize education.
