A new curriculum for Secondary education was yesterday launched by the federal government.

Billed to commence in September when a new academic session commences, it is tagged Secondary School Education Curriculum (SSEC).

The curriculum is designed to produce graduates who are well prepared for higher education with relevant functional trade and entrepreneurial skill needed for poverty eradication, job creation and wealth generation.

Executive Secretary of Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) Professor Godswill Obioma whose council developed the document, explained that graduates from the SSEC are expected to have been equipped for higher education. They will also possess the relevant technical, vocational and entrepreneurship skills.

He said the new curriculum was planned to build on the gains of the nine-year Basic Education Curriculum and to connect logically to the learning experiences in the tertiary education.

Obioma said the first public examinations based on the SSEC would be conducted by the West African Examination Council (WAEC), National Examination Council (NECO) and the National Board for Technical and Business Education (NBTE) in 2014.

“The new SSEC is planned to commence in September 2011 beginning with year one of the Senior Secondary School and the first batch of the Basic Education Certificate holders. This implementation process will be systematic through year 2 to year 3 until the old SSEC is gradually phased out. The first batch will graduate by June 2014”.

He said candidates must offer five compulsory cross-cutting subjects which include English language, General Mathematics, Computer Studies/ICT and one trade/ entrepreneurship subject to be selected from the list of 34 approved trade/entrepreneurship subjects. He said four distinct fields of studies such as Science and Mathematics (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Further Mathematics) among others can be added to the earlier five selecte
