The National Universities Commission says the implementation of the Core Curriculum Minimum Academic Standards will begin by September 2023.
The CCMAS document which highlights 70 per cent of the curriculum is expected to guide institutions in the design of curricula for their programmes while bringing necessary innovation into the content and delivery of their programmes towards achieving the overall goals of education and training in the country.
The timeline was given by the acting Executive Secretary of NUC, Chris Maiyaki at the stakeholders’ colloquium on CCMAS in Abuja.
On his part, Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman encouraged universities to make optimal use of the 30 per cent university senate’s input.
Mamman advised universities to ensure that learning outcomes, skills as well as soft skills were acquired, irrespective of the core discipline.
