Following the efforts of the Federal Ministry of Education in
reducing the workload of primary and junior secondary pupils, it was
learnt that subjects like Christian Religious Studies (CRS) and
Islamic Religious Studies (IRS),Civic Education, Social Studies, and
Security Education will now be merged into one compulsory subject
known as Religion and National Values (RNV).
This move has attracted mixed reactions from Nigerians. While some
see it as a welcomed development, others see it a move in the wrong
direction.
According to one commenter, "this plan will fail in core northern
states because no teacher will dare teach an Almajiri about Jesus
Christ that will not have his head on a pike the next day."
"It will faill in SS/SE because No teacher there will be able to teach
students Qur'anic education because they don't even know it and will
NEVER learn it."
"It will be a success in the SW because of religious tolerance that
they espouse."
Whats your take on this?
