Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Education has clarified that the Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS) systems have not been scrapped.
This clarification comes due to misleading reports suggesting that the government had replaced both with a new 12-year uninterrupted basic education model.
However, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, emphasized that this was merely a proposal for discussion and not an immediate change.
The proposal aims to transition to 12 years of compulsory education while retaining the current 6-3-3 structure. It also suggests eliminating the examination barrier between JSS and SSS to allow for a seamless transition of students. The final decision will be made after extensive engagements and consultations over the next eight months.

He just made a proposition. But the media made it sensational ðððĪŠ
ReplyDeleteThis is a good one as it will curb Jss3 drop outs. It's still the same 6-3-3-4.
