The National Council on Education has approved the reintroduction of History into the curriculum for primary and secondary schools nationwide.
The Chief Executive of the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, Prof. Josiah Ajiboye, who announced the NCE’s decision in a briefing in Abuja, noted that the re-introduction of History was agreed on at a meeting in Kano State.
The NCE held a meeting last week in Kano State where it also agreed that History should be re-introduced into the curriculum.
The TRCN boss lamented that there was still a shortage of qualified teachers for the country’s 170m population.
