An Appraisal of the New Nigerian Senior Secondary School Physics Curriculum
Abstract
The new physics curriculum for secondary schools in Nigeria has some similarities with the one currently in use. The new curriculum will be implemented as from September 2011. It has six themes instead of the five in the one in use. An additional theme has been added to the new curriculum. It is loaded with teacher and student activities. This is a challenge to the teachers in the field as well as prospective teachers whose training in Physics does not match the job they are going to do. Hence, it is necessary to alert the nation of the need to prepare against 2011 which is at our door step. Hence, recommendations put forward include training and retraining of physics teachers and that relevant teaching materials and equipment be made available both at the faculties of education of universities and in the physics laboratories at the secondary schools.
