The Federal Government has directed all basic and secondary schools
across the country to immediately implement the teaching of history as
a standalone subject from the next academic calendar.


The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr. Sonny Echono, made
this known yesterday in Abuja.
The Federal Government on June eighteenth promised to return history
to school curriculum while ensuring that all primary school teachers
are trained to deliver digital literacy.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has declared at the launch of Education
for Justice Programme that government had kick-started implementation
in twelve primary and secondary schools across the six geopolitical
zones and instructional classes have also commenced.


According to Echono, the directive has already been given and it is
automatic that all the schools should implement simultaneously.
