Nigeria to teach civic education in primary schools

The chairman of the National Technical Committee on Civic Education in Nigeria has announced that civic education would be re-introduced in primary schools in September. Lanre Adebayo said the re-introduction is aimed at instilling discipline and promoting core Nigerian values in children. The committee was formed in 2006 to promote the government campaign PRIDE, an acronym for Patriotism, Resourcefulness, Integrity, Diligence and Enterprise. Adebayo said the committee would collaborate with publishers to produce books and educational materials, and teachers would be trained in the curriculum. Read the article at allAfrica.com.
