Earlier, a senior special adviser to the president had shared excerpts from what was believed to be the
then-unreleased curriculum document.

The excerpt showed mostly core subjects broken down into
specific modules, including artificial intelligence, journalism, fact-checking,
cybersecurity, and programming.

However, the NERDC has asked the public to disregard all
other versions of the new curriculum circulating online

In a communique signed by its executive secretary, Salisu
Shehu, it said that publishing the officially approved version became necessary
to disprove what it described as “unauthentic versions.”

The council said a nationwide sensitisation and teacher
capacity building has been scheduled for effective implementation.

It said implementation would commence at the beginning of
each three-year education circle (Primary 1, Primary 4, JSS1 and SS1) as the
revised curricula are unveiled.
