Science and Technology in the Nigerian Curriculum

Science subjects follow a careful progression in the Nigerian curriculum. Learners meet integrated Basic Science and Technology in the junior years, then move into the specialist senior secondary sciences of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

Basic Science and Technology is the integrated starting point, covering science, technology, and engineering ideas before learners specialise.

Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are the core senior secondary sciences, each with its own sequence of topics and practical work that supports examination readiness.

Further Mathematics extends the Mathematics curriculum for learners who need a deeper foundation, and Agricultural Science connects scientific principles to food production and farming.
