So Arabic teachers plenty pass French. Make una kontinu. French was almost like compulsory all Tru my sec sch....and I know it's same for many others. It's now Arabic was introduced that French teachers are now scarce. Ok na

nwamehn:


French was never compulsory during my school days, it was always optional. Even at that, nobody should be compelled to offer it if the person doesn't want, just because the school lacks the teachers. Same should go with Arabic. In that curriculum, they said it's minimum of 9 subjects but maximum of 10 subjects but there ar only 10 subjects there meaning that students would be found in a situation where they ar to choose between French and Arabic after they must have selected the other more important eight subjects. This puts them in a situation where they would have to choose between French and Arabic. English, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and even Arabic teachers abound everywhere. There ar so many graduates that studied these courses and can teach the students to any level even up to SSCE level, an average imam can teach Arabic so well to any level, so Arabic teachers also abound, but we can't say same for French. French secondary school teachers ar very scarce, even during our school days, we used to have only one teacher for the whole junior classes in the school that offer French.
See the solution, let the ministry of education bring back CRK and IRS as separate subjects and still maintain National Values or Civic education as a separate subject, thereby bringing the total number of subjects for JSS level for instance to 12. Then let them still make it that students can offer minimum of 9 subjects. U will see that non-muslim students will have CRK to select and avoid French and Arabic, and Muslim students who school in places that there ar no Arabic but only IRS teachers can easily select IRS and complete their nine subjects without being compelled to offer French.

So there are more graduates in Arabic and other languages than French in Nigeria? Lol
Be lying to yourself.
In b/w u can never know how to speak or write French or Arabic fluently by just the preambles tot in sec schs so what's the fuss about if I may ask?

Thanks to the House of Reps for thwarting the subtle islamization of Nigeria

Yoruba Muslim. Na so the thing pain you reach?

Your islamization plans have failed.

linearity:


The legislators are vested with the constitutional powers to give the executive guidelines and even make new laws that restricts or limits or directs what the executives does.

If as it may, the executive had a broad powers in this arena, the legislators can pass new laws to limit those powers.

linearity:


This is one childish post from you and if you are mature enough, I believe you know it...

Part II, Section 5.1(a) & (b) of the Nigeria Constitution states:

"5.1 Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the Executive powers of the federation:

(a) shall be vested in the President and may subject as aforesaid and to the provisions of any law made by the National Assembly, be exercised by him either directly or through the Vice-President and Ministers of the Government of the Federation or officers in the public service of the federation; and

(b) shall extend to the execution and maintenance of this Constitution, all laws made by the National Assembly and to all matters with respect to which the National Assembly has, for the time being, power to make laws.

From the above, it is clear to any one with common sense that, the Legislators made laws that the Executive must follow/execute and they can amend those laws thereafter to either expand, limit, restrict, modify, etc what the executive must then follow/execute.

LUGBE:
Good development

Vanguard should stop misleading people in the name of business or whatever that pushes them to do this.

This policy was made under Jonathan in 2014 and Buhari has not even touched it at all.

I pity people playing politics of religion and ethnicity. Nothing destroys places like wildfire like religion and ethnicity politics.

When it starts, even the facilitators wont be able to quench it. Boko Haram, Al qeada, Al shubab, Biafra, etc are good examples. Even Ojukwu ran away when the problem got to the crescendo.

VISTIN:
They did that in their best interest. It doesn't call for jubilation. Jesus Christ rules the world. The Nigerian government and their so-called president would have ended up fighting God.

Nobody will want to see the result.

In 1st Samuel 2:25, Eli told his son, "if a man offends his fellow man, he can run to God for safety. But if a man offends God, where will he run to"?

Clueless reps, what I expected was the expunging of both CRK and Arabic
Studies.
If those subjects were effective in teaching morals, we won't have a national assembly filled
with looters.

Time is ticking while our reps are partying.

Skubidude:


Lol. He does not want to be seen as a bigot. If na u nko
But seriously that's the diff btw Christianity and Islam, we don't fight for our religious right wen there is a clear case of injustice and oppression. We simply invite God to fight for Himself, and he just did. Light does not need to struggle with darkness, when it shines, darkness must bow. Simple.

UnchangeableGod:
With due respect sir, I don't think you made any sense. You can as well ask that English Language and Mathematics be expunged since most English graduates cannot speak correct English grammar and some Mathematics graduates cannot solve simple arithmetic.

ivolt:


Survival instinct is no conscience, every human has it and politician
have more of it.
In my world view when something don't serve any useful purpose
it must be discarded, you can't justify a policy based on the imaginary
consequence of not having it.

ivolt:


I don't expect you to understand, my post was directed at those who
can see beyond their nose.

The aim of teaching english has been achieved when the student can understand
basic english with mathematics, even the dullest student apply its principles
to their daily financial transactions.
It is unfortunate that you think mathematics is about solving arithmetic
while english is just about correct grammar.

UnchangeableGod:
Following your logic, the aim of religious studies is to make people knowledgeable about God and His ways which people can choose to research on for knowledge sake. It is not meant to stop sin and corruption, only Christ in man can. So it doesn't need expunging due to increase in societal vices.

OgaBuhari:
where did you fetch all these trash from?

How does the knowledge improve the lives of the students ?
Why are religious bodies fighting for what doesn't make one a christian ?
What are the functions of sunday schools ?
Why waste money on a fruitless subject ?

All I see are lazy parents outsourcing their duties to government.

Until we concentrate on getting results and discarding sentimental
but useless project we will keep going round in a circle.

Iamzik:


Needless policy change in the first place.
What us wrong with the previous curriculum where you simply choose between CRK and IRK?

This is what you get when you attempt to complicate things unnecessarily.

So if IRK and CRK is under civic education as one subject then who will teach that subject? Christian or Moslem teacher? How will the exam be set? Will a Muslim be asked to answer CRK question? Who will mark it? Will a Christian teacher mark IRK exam?
What does he know about Islam? Religion is beyond academic exercise. It's a believe, a conviction.

The house did the right thing. No need to complicate things.
