Civic Education

This term’s curriculum introduces students to key concepts that shape democratic participation and social harmony. It begins with an in-depth study of pressure groups, exploring their merits and demerits—how they influence government policies and represent specific interests in society. The course then shifts focus to values that promote peace, such as tolerance, respect, and cooperation, emphasizing their importance in building a stable society.

Following this, students examine the issue of social injustice, discussing its causes, effects, and various forms such as discrimination, inequality, and oppression. The aim is to sensitize students to the realities of injustice and empower them to advocate for fairness. The term concludes by identifying examples of pressure groups in Nigeria, allowing students to relate the concept to real-life civic engagement within their country.
