The Federal Government, FG, has announced the scrapping of Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS) systems, introducing a compulsory 12-year uninterrupted basic education model.

This move aims to provide students with continuous learning until the age of 16, after which they can pursue higher education.

The new 12-4 education structure replaces the existing 6-3-3-4 system, aligning Nigeria’s education system with global best practices. Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, revealed that the reform seeks to reduce dropout rates by eliminating financial and systemic barriers that prevent students from completing secondary education.

“Extending basic education to 12 years will ensure a standardized curriculum that is uniformly implemented across the nation,” Dr. Alausa said.

“This will also facilitate early exposure to vocational and entrepreneurial skills, preparing students for both higher education and employment”

The Government has also sought approval to set 16 years as the minimum entry age requirement for tertiary institutions.

Dr. Alausa emphasized that the reform will have economic and social impacts, as educated youth contribute significantly to national development.

This reform aims to improve educational standards, enhance student preparedness, and align Nigeria’s education system with international standards.
