Description

Christian Religious Studies and National Values for Junior Secondary Schools is a three-book series purposefully packaged to conform with the new Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) curriculum for the last three years of the 9-year Basic Education Programme.

Completely new, each book is divided into two sections: Christian Religious Studies and National Values. Section 1 exposes the students to Christian teachings which help to shape their ways of life in the areas of moral growth. Section 2, which comprises Civic Education, Social Studies and Security Education, carefully treats concepts and topics that relate to societal and behavioural issues in our national life; discusses a variety of ideas and information that will enable students understand and help to develop their immediate community and the nation as a whole; and informs on current security issues and precautionary measures.

The contents of the books are structured to build spiritually, morally sound and upright citizens who would ensure the promotion of the political and socio-economic development of Nigeria. The books are designed to be used by both teachers and students due to their participatory structure. Each text is accompanied by a Workbook and a volume of Teachers’ Guide for the upper basic level. The authors are experienced teachers in the field and have been drawn to reflect the diverse cultures and experiences of Nigeria.
