FG Denies Scrapping JSS, SSS, Speaks On Proposed 12-Year Basic Education

The Federal Government has introduced a proposal for a 12-year basic education model but has clarified that it is not abolishing Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS).

This was confirmed in a statement on Friday by Folashade Boriowo, Director of Press at the Federal Ministry of Education.

Boriowo explained that Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, made the announcement during the Extraordinary National Council on Education (NCE) Meeting in Abuja on Thursday, where he presented the proposal for discussion, rather than announcing an immediate policy change.

“The attention of the Federal Ministry of Education has been drawn to misleading reports suggesting that the Federal Government has scrapped Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS) and replaced them with a new 12-year uninterrupted basic education model. We wish to categorically state that this is not true,” the statement read.

“The proposal seeks to migrate to 12 years of compulsory education while retaining the current 6-3-3 structure,” the ministry said.
