In a bid to reposition Senior Secondary School Education , the Federal Government has assured Nigerians that the National Minimum Standard and Draft Strategic Plan will help restructure the sector as the document will serve as a guide in promoting and monitoring globally accepted standard.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman at a stakeholder meeting in Abuja.
He added that this will ensure that Senior Secondary Schools no longer operate without a regulatory intervention agency.
The absence of an intervention agency according to him had negative implications for the sub-sector of the education system like lack of infrastructural development in Senior Secondary Schools.
The 2021 decision by the Federal Government to set up the National Senior Secondary Education Commission as a regulatory and intervention agency for all aspect of senior education changed the narrative.
The commission proposes the National Minimum Standards to set benchmarks for the establishment of operations of Senior Secondary Education in the country if implemented.
The meeting between the Ministry of Education and relevant stakeholders in the Education sector is aimed at sharing insight and perspectives that will contribute to the education sector.
The group is optimistic that the meeting will yield positive results in developing the quality of secondary school education in Nigeria.
