FG flags off disarticulation policy on History

Federal Government has reintroduced disarticulation of History content in primary and secondary schools curricula.

Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu, flagging off the programme in Abuja Thursday, said the move would enable children gather in-depth knowledge of their past.

While calling on experts to develop curricula objectives and contents that would lead to positive learning outcomes,he urged stakeholders to key into the development and ensure proper implementation of the history curriculum when it was finally developed.

The minister stressed the need for continuous inclusion and reinforcement of history in the curriculum, to enable learners become well enlightened citizens with respect for diversity and strive for attainment of unity of Nigeria.

Adamu said: “It will inculcate positive values of service, morality, discipline, courage, nationalism, and patriotism as shown by the history of our heroes.

It will enable children in the earliest stage to appreciate our past, have knowledge of our civilisations, cultures and political attainment as a nation.

“The flag-off is a good beginning of the execution of one of the strategic goals of the Education ministry,” he added. Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council, NERDC, Prof. Ismaila Junaidu, said the decision to separate History contents from Social Studies curriculum was in line with curriculum best practices as it was informed by policy decisions, needs assessment and popular demand.

Junaidu stressed that the implementation of history in the curriculum would commence fully next academic session.

The suicide bomber himself was a child aged between 12 and 14, President Recep Tayyip One woman lost four children in the attack, Emine Arhan, said yesterday: “If it wasn’t for my only surviving child, I would have killed myself.” Another victim was a nine-year-old girl who had stayed on at the party to see the bride after her parents had left, according to reports.

IMMUNITY BILL: A MISPLACED PRIORITY

Certainly, it is not a matter of conjecture to say that the undue interference and unpalatably flagrant disregard to separation of power by the executive tier of government has raised more questions than answers on the integrity of this government and the commitment of the leadership to truly push for the genuine change in line with democratic norms all over the world. Fatunde Bamidele Samuel (VEGA) writes from lagos. Recently, the society was encapsulated with shocking news of pension bill for the National Assembly members. However, the bill was dead on arrival. This is nothing but another heinous attempt to permanently ground the country that is already suffering from the bloodsucking bedbugs (NASS) and former governors pensions. These are almost sucking the finances of this country dry; if and only if we could act fast to salvage it then we can only hope the existence of Nigeria will not be history. The recent exploit of the National Assembly is evi...

Trump ’s operation after the firing of his original campaign manager, handed in his resignation on Friday, signifying the latest tumult to engulf the candidate, whose standing in the polls has steadily dropped since the Republican Party ’s convention in July. Mr. Manafort left nearly a week after a New York Times report about problems within the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign helped precipitate a leadership shake-up.

Mr. Manafort was also dogged by reports about secretive efforts he made to help the former pro-Russian government in Ukraine, where he has worked on and off over several years. Those news reports were blotting out much of the press coverage of th...
