Top Story: Nigeria Secondary Schools to Teach AI, Robotics, and Fact-Checking – Here’s Why It Matters
Nigeria secondary schools are set to have a curriculum that teaches the student’s subjects such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, programming, journalism, fact-checking, and digital entrepreneurship.
The Ministry of Education, unveiling this, said the reforms are aimed at reducing content overload, creating more learning time, and equipping students with skills for the digital economy.
The Ministry noted that junior secondary students will now take 12–14 subjects, senior secondary students 8–9 subjects, and technical schools 9–11 subjects.
“The revised curricula will reduce content overload and create more learning time for students,” Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmad, said.
