The Nigerian curriculum is very fit for the Nigerian child. Is it old and archaic? I beg to differ. Why? Because it has been able to allow its beneficiaries adapt to the changing world without having any issues. I used to be a proponent of the entire overhaul of the curriculum till I took out time to really examine the curriculum and found out that it really is a well thought out plan.
I think our first question should be what’s a curriculum? Acoording to Rhode Island Department of Education, “Curriculum is a standards-based sequence of planned experiences where students practice and achieve proficiency in content and applied learning skills. Curriculum is the central guide for all educators as to what is essential for teaching and learning, so that every student has access to rigorous academic experiences.” I would like to add that a curriculum and it’s design is solely dependent on the context of the social fabric a child is being raised in.
