Taraba government reintroduces History in primary schools
The Taraba government has announced plans to reintroduce history as a subject in the basic education curriculum in schools.
Governor Agbu Kefas said this when he hosted journalists to a dinner in Jalingo on Sunday.
History was removed from primary and secondary education curricula in the 2009/2010 academic session.
In November 2022, the federal government reintroduced History as a stand-alone subject in the basic education curriculum in Nigeria 13 years after its removal.
“No society will truly develop without its inhabitants having a good knowledge of their history. That is why we will introduce history studies in our primary and secondary schools in the state to lay a solid foundation for accelerated development,” he said.
The governor also said in no distance time, primary school teachers must be first degree holders while secondary school teachers must have a minimum of master’s degree to enhance the quality of education in Taraba.
Zainab Jalingo, the information commissioner called for continued partnership with journalists to serve Taraba people better.
