Why was it scrapped in the first place. I weep for my country, law makers law breakers in the govt

kayjay007:
The Nigeria Education Research and Development Council (NERDC) is set to reintroduce History as a subject, beginning from the 2018/2019 academic session.
The NERDC Executive Secretary, Ismail Junaidu, told the News agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Tuesday that the curriculum is ready.
He said that the subject would now be a standalone curriculum and would be taught
from primary one to JSS III.
NAN reports that the National Council on Education had approved the reintroduction
of the subject in July.
The executive secretary said that the NERDC
had forwarded a sample of the new curriculum for History to the states to give them ample time to plan ahead of its implementation.
“All states are expected to be sensitised and teachers trained on how to use the curriculum before the implementation can begin.
“We need to give the states ample time to put their house in order before we start implementing the curriculum,” he told NAN.
According to him, History is already in the senior secondary school curriculum.
He said the implementation would only start after the curriculum had been distributed to states.
“We have begun work on the curriculum because the NCE has given the directive, it will soon get to schools.
“The implementation will commence in the next academic session,’’ he assured.
Mr. Junaidu added that the NCE had approved that all efforts should be made to ensure the commencement of History in schools and it will be accomplished.
“By the next academic session (2018/2019),
everything will be in place,’ the executive secretary said. (NAN)

That's Good. History is Beautiful.

It was wrong in the first instance to have removed it.

Very highly inconsistent set of leaders. Tomorrow again, they will remove it.

Why did they scrap it earlier

Simple, People who get to power by crooked means through nepotism, quota system, etc will always goof. The greatest goof yet in the history of Nigeria is the removal of History from the curriculum for whatever reason be it self serving political etc. Let heads be visible seen to roll for this unwholesome shenanigan. This country has been misruled, mislead, misdirected and mismanaged by unpatriotic element and parasites(like Atiku, Saraki, Omishore, Kashamu, Fayoshe, Donald duke, Okorocha, kwakwanso etc) and yet some more parasites are waiting on the wings for cheap appointment into power by naïve nonchalant Nigerians who did not do their home work on potential leaders that lack credibility in all ramifications, and how to vote these out of power.

It is because of lack of history being thought, that is why any rascal can come out and sell lies to a people on our common history as a nation.

Operation python would not have been necessary if people had an informed view of what happened in the 60s.

Go to Ruwanda, there is museum for the gernocide that took place there in the 90s. The essence of sharing your dark past, is to teach the coming generation the importance of tolerance as well as for them to picture the unexpected consequences of being hateful towards one another.

Thank God the government just realized this lacuna and sort to correct it.

I don't see anything to be proud of in our history that we now have to make it compulsory. They forget that some of these history teachers may want to take sides because of their current biased understanding.

I can imagine what an Igbo history teacher will teach his students, or the northern or Western teachers. What about the Asaba history? It's well o

Confused people

The internet is there already.
Our children will still learn about the greatest mistake ever made in 1914 by the whites


We will never forget

Greatest mistake? Did you think you'd get any better without the colonial masters? Go and ask Ethiopia how far. They'd give you a 1001 reason why a country needs colonialism.

sKy007:
Hope they are not going to teach the kids that Mungo Park discovered River Niger

my point exactly.

That's a good move. But, to make it worthwhile they must remove any European accounts as history. Example; like someone said, the notion Mungo Park discovered the river Niger must be pulled off the history books, cause that's a lie. In fact, the entire curriculum should be Africa centered perspective of history only, and if they need help I can assist as I've been collaborating with someone in US who created an independent curriculum to study African history.

We also won't forget how you left your brain in the toilet when writing this trash...

Proffdada:
Will they include islamic extremist like Usman Dan Fodio?

You're the extremist not fodio

Proffwhyhurry12:
You're the extremist not fodio

you don't know your history

A country that doesn't know where it's coming from will definitely not know where it's heading talk of strategising on how to get there. History and local language should be taken serious. I don't know of any developed country that takes foreign language more important than its own language. Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo language in conjunction with Mathematics and English should be passed before getting admission also.

They should include nnamdi kanu in nig history..as man who nearly cause an0ther civil war

oh

Better o, before another kanu raise up to turn history upside down because he knows his average followers struggled to finish primary school

kay29000:
This is definitely a good move. Too many people online are trying to rewrite history, and most people believe anything they read online. With this, at least the kids will get to know the real unbiased history of their country.

So true! So happy about this development

It was 1939 when things really went down. Hope such never happens again

Yea

kay29000:


Yea

Just hope they focus more on African history, especially Nigerian

good move , most of us don't know our history that's why they are supporting people like Kano
. smh

lovelygurl:

Yep. I hope so too.

iamawara:
lol. Historians and Edu History students hit like. ;

Are you an historian

History in which kids will be brainwash that all northern leaders are honest,patriots n heroes e.g murtala,shagari,babangida,abacha,yaradua,abdulsalam,buhari etc while southern leaders are corrupt n unpatriotic e.g aguiyi,obasanjo,Johnathan, shonekan.

Why did they scrap it earlier?
History Subject is indispensable in the school's curriculum as it makes the student acquainted with the past and history of Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
The children need to be taught how Ojukwu Deceived the igbos which led to their massacre during the civil war of 1967

Trust someone to bring in the ethnic colouration to the topic!
