The Federal Ministry of Education has issued comprehensive guidance to address widespread enquiries from students, parents, school proprietors, and administrators regarding subject selection under the revised Senior Secondary School Curriculum.
This is contained in a statement on Saturday in Abuja by the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education, Mrs Folasade Boriowo.
Boriowo said the clarification followed numerous calls, letters, and public concerns arising from misinterpretations circulating across various platforms.
She quoted the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, as explaining that there was no restriction or exclusion attached to the selection of any approved subject within the Senior Secondary School Curriculum.
Alausa emphasised that all subjects remained fully open for students to choose from, provided such choices were properly guided by the school authority, parents, or a certified school counsellor.
He further noted that a science student might select subjects classified under the social sciences or arts, while students in the arts and social sciences might also choose subjects traditionally grouped under the sciences.
According to him, the curriculum is designed to be flexible, student-centred, and supportive of diverse academic interests and career pathways.
