The federal government has announced the completion of a comprehensive review of curricula across basic, senior secondary, and technical education.

The government said the review was aimed at reducing overload and enhancing quality learning outcomes.

Announcing the development on behalf of the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, Minister of State for Education, Prof Suwaiba Ahmad, said the review was conducted in collaboration with the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), and other key stakeholders.

In a statement signed by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo, on Sunday in Abuja, she explained that the new framework balances subject offerings with deeper, more practical learning.

Ahmad stressed that the revised curricula are designed to reduce content overload, allow more time for learning, and ensure that education remains relevant to the realities of today’s world.Rwanda has received its first group of seven migrants from the United States as part of a deportation agreement, with three individuals expressing a desire to return to their home countries and four wishing to stay in Rwanda. 

According to media reports, the Rwandan government confirmed it will vet all proposed migrants for resettlement and has agreed to accept up to 250 individuals from the US. 

The arrivals are being accommodated by an international organization and supported by Rwandan social services. 

This arrangement follows a previously scrapped deal with Britain and is part of the US administration’s broader strategy of deporting individuals to third countries, a practice that rights experts have warned could violate international law due to potential risks of abuse. 

Rwanda’s government cited its own history of displacement as a rationale for the agreement.
