FG Approves 26 Trades For Technical Schools Under Revised Curriculum
The Federal Ministry of Education has published the full list of 26 trade areas approved under its revised technical-education curriculum.
According to a statement signed on Wednesday by the Ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Bon Folasade, the revised curriculum will convert all Federal Science and Technical Colleges to Federal Technical Colleges from the 2025/2026 academic year.
Announced by the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, and Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad, the overhaul requires each college to offer a minimum of six and a maximum of ten trade courses.
The reform also introduces Citizenship and Heritage Studies alongside core science and language subjects.
Students are required to take between nine and ten subjects (one core trade, five to six general subjects, two to three trade-related subjects, and one elective).
The ministry said the streamlining and modernisation of these trades responds to current industry demand across construction, energy, agriculture, automotive, creative media, and digital services sectors.
