CREATING AN ENDURING NATIONAL SECURITY PLATFORM IN NIGERIA THROUGH CURRICULUM REPACKAGING FOR SCHOOLS.

Abstract

This paper principally seeks to address the question of national security creation through curriculum repackaging. Every individual in Nigeria wants to be educated and to this end the curriculum has to be repackaged to suit all aspects of educational system in order to enlighten and create more awareness in the security areas to make learning more solution oriented. This paper further examined the problems of poor funding, admission challenges and examination malpractices as inhibiting factors with facts and figures to the benefits of education. Admission challenges can distort plans of individuals leading to involvement of youths in armed robbery, terrorism, bombing, advanced free fraud and examination malpractice amongst the vices. In view of such discussions, some recommendations were made amongst such are uprightness in delivering educational services in a professional manner by academic and administrative staff of schools, expansion of school structure to accommodate the needs of the growing students’ population, introduction of peace education or conflict resolution education and civics beyond the secondary level, the repackaging of vocational and technological courses, science, moral and value education and the linkage between schools, industries and establishment to meet the challenges of the society at large.
