The new curriculum encourages rebellion, CAN insists

The new curriculum encourages rebellion, CAN insists

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Wednesday, took its displeasure to the Senate over the controversial introduction of National Values/Civic Education in the school curriculum, Punch reports.

The controversial curriculum seeks to make Islamic Religious Knowledge and Christian Religious Knowledge compulsory subjects, irrespective of pupils’ religious beliefs.

CAN delegates who visited the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, in his office, criticised the new nine-year Basic Education Curriculum as unfair to Christian pupils.

The leader of the delegation, Charles Adisa, who represented the National President of CAN, called for the intervention of the National Assembly to ensure genuine respect for the constitution and the abolition of obnoxious laws that infringe on freedom of worship.

Adisa said: “There is a portion in the curriculum that encourages the children to disobey the parents if they are opposed to an issue. When an educational programme encourages rebellion in the home, what will be the implication?”

“It is our position of CAN that IRK and CRK should be offered separately, while Social Studies and Civic Education should be merged”.

Saraki in his response urged stakeholders in the education sector to remain calm on the matter to enable the National Assembly look into the various issues involved.

He assured the delegation that the Senate Committee on Basic Education would investigate the complaints of CAN against the new curriculum, with a view to making it acceptable and satisfactory to all religions.
