Why Nigeria should revisit its school curriculum — Ex-UNESCO ambassador

Former Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of Nigeria to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), Professor Michael Omolewa, has emphasised need to reduce the educational imbalance among States and regions in the country.

Omolewa said it is time for the leadership of the country to reflect on the arrangement of a system which fails to encourage merit and competence in determining admission to higher institutions.

He stated this recently while delivering a keynote address at the National Conference of Federal College of Education (FCE), Osiele, Abeokuta, with theme ‘Pedagogies And Policies Amidst Global Educational Challenges’.

 He urged government to consider alternative strategies in addressing the imbalance, by expanding access to less-developed areas or increasing enrolment by building more institutions and providing staff and facilities.
