But there's still a separate course for arabic studies right? why?

Chikelue2000:
I don't understand dis.... OK let's say dis is true what about the Arabic studies

kpaofame:


So which classroom will they be having the lecture Because it is one subject (IRS and CRK + National value), explain how you will draw a timetable for it...will they have separate class where Christian students will go for their lectures and another class where Muslims will go for their lecture?? Considering the state of public schools in the country....

The merger do not make sense...

We don't know what to believe this days from APC government

Please don't mind those miscreant, they should keep wailing.

CAN and igbo christian should go and drown in the lagoon with their islamaphobia syndrome.

bolanto24:
But this is somehow not okay. So pupils will be taught Islamic and Christian Topics all together since the subjects are now joined.

clemsajayi07:

Not true. CRS is being taught in schools that don't offer Islamic studies. We have been teaching RVN in my school in Benin without Islamic studies. we offer French instead of Arabic. it is optional, you choose what u want to do. We have been offering RNV, PvS, CcA, BST, Business studies, Edo language, French, Maths and English for three years now without Islamic studies.
No body is trying to islamized Nigeria with this, I'm a living testimony to this new subjects, because we are offering the aforementioned subjects in the school I teach.
My only concern is that it's making students to be lazy because they now offer few subjects, unlike before were they offer 14-15 subjects. This new curriculum is geared towards having practically inclined students. Merci

No. Each Pupil/Student Is Given The Choice To Attend Classes In Line With Their Belief

Negative thinker. In the university I studied a GST course with the title Communication in Arabic/French

It is one course but 1 offer either Arabic or French despite having the same course code and title.

kpaofame:

NairalandHowTo:

The truth is, if Arabic was just a language then Muslims wouldn't be defending it this much.

chesterlee:
She doesn't know what she's saying.


Arabic studies is on its own!!!

DVC1:
But what has the Arabic got to do with Nigeria's education system? Has Arabic also been declared as official language? Excluding Islamic studies and introducing Arabic makes no different, I hope you will be ready to introduce Latin also. Don't pretend you don't know where this is heading to

enigma2007:


In the South West, there had always been a balance. CRK people would go for their classes while IRK do the same. Classes happen at the same time and most govt schs have the teachers for both.

I schooled in Lagos though and left Sec sch scenes like 15+ years ago.

kpaofame:


talking from experience of 15+ years ago...It is well ooo.. actually when/where i served 2 years ago, there were issues like students been out of class during IRS and CRK classes saying they dont offer it...

The thing is that if IRS teacher is in class all CRK students will go to the back or go outside...CRK teacher cant teach them cause there is no class for them to use and vice versa...but for some classes that have more than one arms...All offering IRS can move to one class and others move to another class and they are taught simultaneously which is the idea situation but not obtaining in the two public schools around me then...

Robbin7:
How can you merge these 4 unrelated subject into one, who taught you to think like that?

udumosam23:
The problem is not in the merging of subjects into civil and national values. schools can determine which religion to teach in place of the other.

The problem lies with the seventh subject. Either Arabic or French. Now the question is why Arabic? Why not any other foreign language.

There are more important languages than Arabic which as far as I'm concerned is not different from Islam.

Students will be left with no option than to sturdy Arabic in place of French because of the limited number of French teachers across the country as compared to Arabic that every Muslim can teach.

The solution is, if you must bring in Arabic, then increase the number of optional languages to balance the odd. It won't be wrong bringing in Hebrew, Greek or Latin to correspond the slide.
