The National Universities Commission says the implementation of the Core Curriculum Minimum Academic Standards will begin by September 2023.
The CCMAS document is expected to guide institutions in the design of curricula for their programmes.
It also aims at bringing necessary innovations into the content and delivery of its programmes towards achieving the overall goals of education and training in the country.
Speaking at the Stakeholders’ Colloquium on CCMAS in Abuja on Wednesday, the acting Executive Secretary of NUC, Chris Maiyaki, said the document would reposition Nigerian universities to be among the best-rated in Africa.
Maiyaki said that CCMAS would make up 70 per cent of the curriculum while the university decides what to include in the remaining 30 per cent.
According to him, the implementation will help sharpen the future of the education sector.
”The role and development of the CCMAS is to ensure commitment in advancing our education and our great nation.
