The Federal Government has unveiled a revised national curriculum for junior and senior secondary schools, introducing new subjects such as digital literacy, programming, artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The updated curriculum will take effect from September 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Ministry of Education, digital literacy and basic entrepreneurship will now be compulsory at the junior secondary level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reforms also integrate coding and robotics into foundational courses to expose students early to technology-driven problem-solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For senior secondary students, the curriculum expands further to cover programming, artificial intelligence, data science, and cybersecurity alongside existing core subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
