Lagos State Government has reintroduced the teaching of history in schools in Lagos State. This was shared in a directive from the Lagos State Ministry of Education.
LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT
Owners and Heads of Private Schools,
Lagos State.
RE: INTRODUCTION OF HISTORY IN LAGOS STATE SCHOOLS
I have the directive of the DG (OEQA) to inform you that the teaching of History as a stand-alone subject is back to schools.
In line with the directives from the Nigerian Education Research and Development Council (NERDC), the subject has been re-introduced in the National Curriculum and in the current Lagos State Unified Schemes of Work for primary and junior secondary schools.
You are to note that while the subject (History) is compulsory for both primary and junior secondary school classes, it is an elective subject in the senior secondary school.
To this end, I am further directed to inform you that the subject should be taught in primaries 1 and 2 and JSS 1 and 2 classes in the 2022/2023 academic session.
Kindly give this notice the widest publicity it deserves.
Thank you.
Pelemo, E.I (Mrs)
