Christian And Islamic Studies Merged By Ministry Of Education, Nigerians React by stephenduru: 10:45am On Apr 19, 2016
The Federal Ministry of Education has announced that in order to reduce the workload of primary and junior secondary pupils, they will be cutting down subjects from 20 to a maximum of ten subjects under the nine-year basic educational curriculum in order to align with International standards.
To achieve this, the ministry of Education will be partnering with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC). However, subjects like Christian Religious Studies (CRS) and Islamic Religious Studies (IRS), 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.
A few Nigerians have reacted to the announcement and here is what they have to say(see reactions above)

What do you think?

The Islamaisation of Nigeria is on course.

This plan will fail in core northern states because no teacher will dare teach an almajiri about jesus christ that will not have his head on a pike the next day



It will faill in SS/SE because No teacher there will be able to teach students Qur'anic education because they don't even know it and will NEVER learn it.



It will be a success in the SW because of religious tolerance that they espouse grin so the xtian and muslim should gear up and seize control on who will come out top there

Brilliant development.
Just make sure the new curriculum also reflects the teachings of African Traditional Religion (ATR).

You're very very correct .. Nice analysis.

If the Minister had an iota of common sense, he would've employed you.

So all this hue and cry is actually for nothing? angry

There I was thinking that the Ministry of Education had finally settled for a modern and fit-for-purpose curriculum, without realising that
some silly blogger had simply offered his own erroneous interpretation of events...

I support a total scrapping as well, also fine arts & music if they can't totally remove both, reduce them to "options" not even either, or!!

Some skills are innate, they should stop trying to beat "skills" into people, it is counterproductive!

I don't know how many times I've had need for demi semi quaver or how a drawing of African talking drum is proving not to have been a waste of valuable time!! sad

I can't draw to save my life..

I remember how many hours I spent starting & cleaning a drum that looked more like a mortar!!

Odd move


Modified: cc Mods.


[size=18pt]I think that once again Nigerians are being lied to. Someone is crying wolf.
[/size]
Below is the link to the National E-Curriculum.

[size=20pt]Christian and Islamic Religious Studies......ARE STILL SEPARATE.

There is no such thing as ONE CLASS Religious and National Values.
[/size]

1.Under Primary school curriculum....here

[size=15pt]Listed components will serve as themes in the Religion and National Values Curriculum
Contents are planned for all children to take Social Studies, Civic Education and Security Education themes
Separate classes should be run for CRS theme and IS theme
Consumer Education, Disaster Risk Reduction Education and Peace and Conflict Resolution curricula are infused into the Civic Education, Social Studies and Security Education Themes.
Create enabling environment for the subject in all schools
[/size]

2Under JSS 1-3 and Pry 4-6.....IT IS THE SAME AS ONE ABOVE.

3.Under SSS 1-3......SS1: CRS

You know.....I wonder why Nairaland is being used to promote discord between religious and ethnic groups.

I may consider resigning my membership if this continues.

So Buhari, you and your devilish cohorts have finally shifted your evil eye towards my course and profession.
Sorry evil minister, you will indeed fail big time.
Crs and islam can never and will never be merged. What does light have to do with darkness?
