The Taraba Government has announced plans to reintroduce history as a subject in the basic education curriculum in schools in the state.<\/p>\n
Governor Agbu Kefas said this when he hosted journalists at a dinner in Jalingo on Sunday.<\/p>\n
History was removed from primary and secondary education curriculums in 2009\/2010 academic session.<\/p>\n
In November 2022, the Federal Government reintroduced history as a stand-alone subject in the basic education curriculum in Nigeria 13 years after its abolition.<\/p>\n
History, he said, has a connection with the development of any society.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo society will truly develop without its inhabitants having a good knowledge of their history.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is why we will introduce history studies in our primary and secondary schools in the state to lay a solid foundation for accelerated development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The governor also said in no distance time, primary school teachers in the state must be first-degree holders while secondary school teachers must have a minimum of Master\u2019s degree to enhance the quality of education in the state.<\/p>\n
He urged journalists to monitor the implementation of the state government\u2019s free education policy in primary and secondary schools to ensure that all the school administrators were doing the right thing.<\/p>\n
While commending journalists for their objective reportage so far, Kefas pledged to renovate the press centre in Jalingo and also provide operational vehicles to the various groups under the Nigeria Union of Journalists.<\/p>\n
Speaking, Mr Danjuma Adamu, the immediate past Taraba Commissioner for Information urged the state government to journalists as partners in progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
