CAMPUS REPORTS
JSS & SSS Scrapping: The rumors are false – FG

The Federal Ministry of Education has issued a statement to correct misleading reports that Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS) have been scrapped (JSS & SSS Scrapping).
According to the Ministry, the reports are entirely false.
“At the Extraordinary National Council on Education (NCE) Meeting held on February 6, 2025, in Abuja, the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, presented a proposal for discussion—not an immediate policy change,” the Ministry stated.
The proposal seeks to migrate to 12 years of compulsory education while retaining the current 6-3-3 structure. “A key aspect of this proposal is to eliminate the examination barrier between JSS and SSS, allowing for a seamless transition of students without the hurdles of an external assessment at that stage,” the Ministry explained.
However, the Ministry emphasized that this proposal is still a subject of consultation and deliberation. “To ensure a well-informed decision, the Ministry will undertake extensive stakeholder engagements over the next eight months, consulting widely with education policymakers, state governments, teachers, parents, and other key players,” the Ministry stated.
The final decision on whether to adopt this reform will be made at the October 2025 National Council on Education Meeting. The Ministry urges the public to disregard the false claim that JSS and SSS have been scrapped.
“The Federal Government remains committed to policies that enhance access to quality education while aligning with global best practices,” said Boriowo Folasade, Director of Press & Public Relations.
In a statement, Folasade added, “We wish to categorically state that the reports suggesting that the Federal Government has scrapped Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS) and replaced them with a new 12-year uninterrupted basic education model are not true.”
The Ministry’s clarification comes as a relief to parents, teachers, and students who were concerned about the reported changes to the education system.
