Nigerian Govt Set To Abolish JSS–SSS Split In Secondary Schools Due To Its Alleged Failure

Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, has announced that the Federal Government of Nigeria will phase out the policy separating Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) from Senior Secondary Schools (SSS).







Alausa who spoke in Abuja on Tuesday June30, 2026 said the policy has failed, and noted that many schools have overcrowded JSS classes while SSS classrooms remain underused because they are managed separately.
He also revealed that over 20 million pupils drop out before reaching senior secondary school, adding that the government is committed to fixing the problem by creating more opportunities for students to continue their education.

The minister also said a new UBEC committee has been set up to ensure that smart schools and other education projects are completed, handed over to states, and put into use.

  3. Creating opportunities for children to continue their education is the only valid point for me here. As for the abolishment of the Ss and Jss , I do not support.

    1. He did not say they will abolish JSS and SSS. He is referring to abolishing the use of separate facilities or premises for them.

    If he alleged that over 20 million pupils drop out before reaching senior secondary school, what's the assurance that merging it will make them stay?

    1. If people know they won't obtain a certificate until SS 3, a higher fraction will stay on so as not to enter the job market with only pry 6 certificate.
