The Federal Government has released the full list of subjects under the newly introduced school curriculum for Junior and Senior Secondary Schools, set to take effect from the 2025/2026 academic session.

The development was brought to public attention on Wednesday after the Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, shared details via his X handle.

In the post, Olusegun displayed an image though unsigned and unmarked that outlined the subjects to be offered at both levels.

“The new curriculum for Nigerian schools which will commence from the next session in September 2025 has been released,” he wrote.

Unveiled by the Federal Government on Sunday, the curriculum marks a major shift in Nigeria’s secondary education system. It introduces compulsory digital literacy and basic entrepreneurship at the Junior Secondary School (JSS) level, while programming, artificial intelligence (AI), and additional language options feature prominently at the Senior Secondary School (SSS) stage.
