FG scraps JSS, SSS secondary education system amidst rise in out of school children

The federal government has announced plans to phase out the policy separating the administration of Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) from Senior Secondary Schools (SSS).

The government described it as a failed reform that has contributed to millions of students dropping out before completing secondary education.

Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, disclosed this on Tuesday in Abuja during the inauguration of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) Ministerial Implementation and Monitoring Committee for Smart Schools, Bilingual Schools and Alternative Schools.
