FG Reduces Subject Load in Nigerian Schools — New Curriculum Implementation Begins September

For years now, Nigerian schools have quietly overloaded children with 18, 20… even 25 subjects across different classes. Children are stretched, and teachers are racing against time just to “cover syllabus.”

Now, a new direction has come.

From September, the new NERDC curriculum is expected to begin implementation across Nigerian schools, and one thing is clear already — subject load is being streamlined.

At the Primary level, children will now focus on a more structured set of subjects, with clear limits:

Primary 1–3: about 9 to 10 subjects

Primary 4–6: about 11 to 13 subjects

JSS 1-3: about 13-14 subjects

No unnecessary overload. More focus. Better learning depth.

At the Senior Secondary level, subjects are now grouped properly into:

Core subjects

Science, Humanities, and Business tracks

Plus one compulsory trade subject

And students are to take about 9 or 10 in all.

This means students are not just reading to pass exams, but also learning practical skills like fashion design, solar installation, agriculture, and more.

Now, over to the real conversation

👉 Will schools actually follow this, or still pile up subjects to impress parents?

👉 Will “more subjects” finally stop being mistaken for “better education” by parents?

👉 And how prepared are schools for this shift?

Do you think reducing subjects will improve learning, or make things worse?

Controversial Nursery Textbook Sparks Outrage as Lagos Government Confirms It Was Not Approved

A viral video has sparked serious concern among parents after a nursery school English textbook containing disturbing and questionable content surfaced online.

The passage, which has been widely circulated, has raised multiple questions around suitability, safety, and quality of learning materials being used for young children.

In response, the Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education has issued an official statement confirming that the textbook in question was not approved, reviewed, or recommended for use in any public or approved private school in the state.

According to the Ministry, investigations have already commenced following directives from the Honourable Commissioner for Education. Preliminary findings indicate that the school involved is located in Ojo Local Government Area.

The Ministry also reiterated its position clearly:
Only government-approved textbooks are permitted for use in schools, and all learning materials must meet standards of age-appropriateness, moral soundness, and educational quality.

This development has again brought attention to a critical issue many parents and educators quietly worry about — what exactly are children being taught, and who is verifying these materials?

The controversial passage has triggered conversations around:
– appropriateness of content for nursery pupils
– grammatical accuracy
– exposure to violence and harmful ideas at an early age
– accountability of schools and publishers

The school and publisher involved have reportedly been identified, and further action is expected as investigations continue.

Important Note for Schools and Parents:

This situation is a strong reminder.

Schools must be deliberate about the materials they introduce into their classrooms.
Parents also need to pay closer attention to the books their children bring home.

Not every printed textbook is safe.
Not every “educational” material is truly educational.

Eggheads School students have performed strongly in the just concluded 2026 UTME.

All the SS3 students presented by the school scored above 220, with no student falling below that mark.

This result reflects the steady academic work the school has been known for, especially at the secondary level.

Eggheads may not be loud, but they have been consistently delivering results. Earlier this year, the school also emerged 1st position in the South-South in a national science competition.

Eggheads School runs both day and boarding secondary education and is located around Rumuodara.

Congratulations to the entire SS3 class, their teachers, and parents.

If you are considering a day or boarding secondary school for your child, you may want to look them up and learn more about what they offer.

FG Moves to Control School Textbooks — Only Top-Ranked Books Will Be Allowed

The Federal Government has announced a new system that will change the textbooks used in Nigerian schools.

Going forward, textbooks will not just be approved… they will be ranked nationally, and only a limited number of top-ranked books will be allowed for each subject.

This means:
– Some textbooks currently in use may no longer be permitted
– Only selected, high-quality books will make the final list
– Schools will have fewer but more standardized options

The policy will be implemented from September 2026, after proper evaluation and stakeholder engagement.
Now this is important for schools and parents.

Schools should be careful about rushing to purchase textbooks for the next session.

There is a high chance that some of those books may not make the approved ranking list.

It may be wise to wait for the official list before making bulk decisions.

The goal of this policy is to improve quality, reduce confusion, and ensure students learn from the best materials available.

St. Maria Goretti School has released its 2026 UTME results, and the performance is worth noting.

According to the school, the entire cohort scored above 200.
About 65% of the students scored above 250, while 20% scored above 300.

Consistent results like this don’t happen by chance. It reflects structure, teaching, and preparation over time.

St. Maria Gorretti School is a day and boarding secondary school located along East-West Road, around Rumuodara.

Admissions into the 2027 academic session are ongoing.

Congratulations to the school, its students, and parents on this performance.



PS: We are still receiving verified UTME results from schools across Port Harcourt.

Port Harcourt, it’s your turn.

This is a room designed for school owners, administrators, and decision-makers who are tired of running their schools on guesswork and are ready to lead with structure, intention, and results.

The School Leadership Masterclass is coming live to Port Harcourt, and it’s built around one powerful idea:
You don’t build a great school by chance.
You build it by design.

For two full days, you will step out of daily pressure and into clear thinking. You will see what is working, what is broken, and what needs to be rebuilt in your systems, your leadership, and your growth strategy.
Because the truth is simple.

Many schools are working hard.
But not many are working right.

And that difference shows in enrollment, staff performance, parent satisfaction, and long-term growth.

With Tope Adenuga leading this experience, you are not just getting theory. You are getting practical, tested frameworks that have helped schools move from survival to structure and from structure to scale.

So if you’ve been waiting for the “right time”…
If you’ve been feeling like your school has more potential than results…
If you know deep down that something needs to change…
This is your moment.

Port Harcourt, it’s your turn to lead differently.
