Education Ministry Unveils Modernised Technical Curriculum Aligned with Industry Needs.

The Federal Ministry of Education has published the full list of twenty-six trade areas approved under its revised technical-education curriculum.

According to a statement signed 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.

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.

The reform also introduces Citizenship and Heritage Studies alongside core science and language subjects.
