Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board -SUBEB, says plans have been concluded to commence specialised teachings in primary schools across the state from the 2018/2019 academic session.
This was disclosed by SUBEB Executive Dr Ganiyu Sopeyin to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Lagos.
According to him, teachers in the state-owned primary schools would operate like their secondary school colleagues under the proposed arrangement.
Sopeyin further disclosed that the plan initiated by the Lagos state deputy governor, Dr Idiat Adebule will be first of its kind across the country.
Asked about the state’s preparations ahead of the introduction of history as an independent subject into primary schools by the Nigeria Educational Research and Development Council in September, the SUBEB boss said that the board would ensure that history as a subject would be given its pride of place in the public primary schools in the state.
