FG determined to strengthen quality secondary education — NSSEC boss

THE acting executive secretary, of the National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC), Mr Ibraheem Abdulkareem, has expressed the determination of the Federal Government to strengthen secondary education in Nigeria to enhance quality teaching and learning.

He said this was one of the reasons why the commission in collaboration with other relevant stakeholders undertook a review of the Zero Draft Minimum Standard earlier produced in the year 2022.

Abdulkareem spoke at the NSSEC stakeholders meeting held in collaboration with the Adolescent Girls Initiative Learning Empowerment (AGILE) and other key stakeholders in Keffi, Nasarawa State.

He noted that the purpose of the stakeholders meeting among others was to scrutinise the draft and strategise on ways to enforce the minimum standards in schools so as to curtail the ills at the level of education.

Abdulkareem, who doubles as the director of Quality Assurance Department of NSSEC, said that the draft document would further be presented to the national bodies for ratification before implementation.

The chairman, Board of the National Senior Secondary Education Commission (NSSEC), Mr Nimota Akanbi, on her part, lamented multiple challenges confronting secondary education in Nigeria, appealing to stakeholders to join forces with the commission to improve the quality of teaching and learning at that level of education.
