I have not seen anyone posting the press release on the issue of removal of CRK from the curriculum which is just a speculation and big lie.
The Nigerian Educational Research and
Development Council has debunked a rumour
making the rounds in the educational sector
that Christian Religious Knowledge has been
removed from schools’ curriculum .
The NERDC said in a statement late on
Tuesday that CRK was never removed from
the curriculum, adding that the council never
introduced the Islamic Arabic Studies/French
combination, as being rumoured in some
quarters .
The NERDC Executive Secretary, Prof . Ismail
Junaidu, said the Basic Education Curriculum
which includes the Christian Religious
Knowledge and the Islamic Studies was
approved in 2013 by the National Council on
Education .
Junaidu added that the National Council on
Education , as the apex policy making body in
education in Nigeria, is made up of all the 36
states’ Commissioners of Education and
chaired by the Minister of Education .
He said, “ For the avoidance of doubt, the last
review of the curriculum was approved in
2013 and implementation commenced in
September 2014 .
“ In both instances, neither the Christian
Religious Knowledge nor Islamic Studies was
removed from the curriculum.
“ In fact, at the commencement of the present
administration, the minister of education
sought and obtained the approval of the
National Council on Education to make
Christian Religious Knowledge compulsory
for all Christian students and Islamic Studies
compulsory for their Muslim counterparts.
“ The claims peddled on social media
platforms and a national daily are
speculative, false and unfounded, specifically
as regards the Religion and National Values
Curriculum.
“ The Management of NERDC hereby
reiterates categorically that the subject
offerings ( Civic Education , Social Studies,
Christian Religious Knowledge, Islamic
Studies and Security Education ) under the
Religion and National Values Curriculum are
distinct and taught separately on the time
table .
“ In this Curriculum, no child should be
coerced or compelled to learn or be taught in
school any religious studies relating to the
belief system professed by the child and his /
her parents .
“ CRK is still taught in schools ; as a separate
distinct subject with the accompanying
Teachers’ Guide. There is no subject in the
Nigerian School Curriculum called Islamic
Arabic Studies nor anywhere in the world as
being speculated
