The Federal Ministry of Education in partnership with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), is seeking to reduce the amount of work assigned to primary and junior secondary pupils from 20 to a maximum of ten subjects under the nine-year basic educational curriculum in order to align with International standards.
Under this intended new scheme Christian and Islamic Religious Studies, which are separately taught, will now be merged under a compulsory subject known as Religion and National Values (RNV). Other subjects brought under the RNV include Civic Education, Social Studies, and Security Education.
