Despite the ongoing deliberations, Alausa assured that no changes would take effect before the last quarter of 2025.
The federal government has dismissed reports claiming that it has scrapped the Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS) education system, clarifying that discussions on a potential reform are ongoing.
Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, refuted the claims in an interview with THISDAY, stating that while a shift towards a 12-year uninterrupted basic education model is being considered, no final decision has been made.
Alausa’s clarification follows a media report suggesting that the federal government had abolished the current 6-3-3-4 education system in favour of a 12-4 model.
The report alleged that the minister made the announcement at the 2025 extraordinary National Council on Education (NCE) meeting in Abuja.
While acknowledging that several developed nations have adopted similar systems, Alausa stressed that Nigeria is still in the deliberation phase.
“We haven’t even got to the implementation phase. The National Council of Education, the highest decision-making body on education policies, must first approve any change,” he explained.
