NOA Urges Re-Introduction Of Civic Education
The National Orientation Agency (NOA), has called for the re-introduction of civic education in schools.
The Director of NOA in Cross River, Mrs Florence Osang, said in Calabar that civic education should be made compulsory in schools.
Osang said when re-introduced, students who fail the subject, should be made to repeat it.
She, however, explained that the Federal Government and the Ministry of Education had accepted to re-introduce it in primary and secondary schools in Nigeria.
“To catch them young, we have insisted that they should go back to civic education in primary and secondary schools.
“We also talk to the youths because they are our inheritance, they have to start being responsive and participatory to government programmes,’’ Osang said.
She said some primary and secondary schools in Cross River had started using civic education text books, adding that it would soon get to the tertiary institutions.
Osang also stressed the need for all stakeholders including Non Governmental Organisations, the Independent National Electoral Commission and health institutions, to embrace it.
“Stakeholders have to key into the civic education programmes, while schools should include it in their scheme of work.
“This is to enable the immediate commencement of the teaching in both primary and secondary schools.
She, however, decried the lack of respect for national symbols, adding that the use of second stanza of the National Anthem as prayers would help to forge unity in the country.
The state director also said that NOA had embarked on enlightenment programmes on the Millennium Development Goals, to sensitise the people of the state on the importance of civic education.
