The Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu made this known on Wednesday, October 25 at the flag-off ceremony for the review of the civic education curriculum for senior secondary schools.

The new subjects are designed to teach students about how electoral malpractices and hate speech affect individuals, groups and communities.

Represented by Director Education Planning and Research Development, Dr Chioma Nwade, Adamu said the curriculum will help to confront socio-political injustice.

He said, “the issues of corruption, fraud, election malpractice, human rights abuse, hate speech, intolerance and other forms of socio-political injustices will be confronted using the curriculum as an instrument.”
