Availability And Utilization Of Instructional Materials For Teaching Biology In Senior Secondary Schools In Aba Education Zone, Abia State
ABSTRACT
Nigeria
as a signatory to the Millennium Development Goal (MDG), and Education For All
(EFA) initiative, adopted the National Economic Empowerment Development
Strategy (NEEDS) as a reform measure in 2004 (Chukwu, n.d.). This prompted
among others, the adoption of a new curriculum for the implementation of the
9-year Basic and Senior Secondary Education programmes; and restructuring of
the existing subject profile for lower basic, upper basic and Senior Secondary
Schools. With the demand of this initiative, the content of the existing
curricula could neither meet the need of the school leavers in terms of
academic standards, civic, ethical and moral responsibilities,
entrepreneurship, nor make them fit for global competitiveness. In line
with this development, the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Educational
Research and Development Council (NERDC), Obioma (2012), on the achievement of
the council, noted that the restructuring of the Senior Secondary Curriculum
resulted in the development of 42 subjects and 34 vocational
trades/entrepreneurship curricula for Senior Secondary Education (Eze, 2011).
