The Ministry of Education on Friday debunked media reports that the federal government has scrapped Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary Schools in the country, stating that it was merely a proposal.

The ministry noted that the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, merely proposed the introduction of a 12-year basic education system.
Several media outlets, had suggested that a new policy aimed at scrapping the Junior and Senior Secondary School system was already in effect.

A statement by Director of Press at the Federal Ministry of Education, Folasade Boriowo said that the National Council on Education would review the proposal before any final decision is made.

The ministry stated that reports of an immediate policy change on the matter were untrue.

“At the Extraordinary National Council on Education Meeting held on 6 February 2025 in Abuja, the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Maruf Olatunji Alausa, presented a proposal for discussion — not an immediate policy change. The proposal seeks to transition to 12 years of compulsory education while retaining the current 6-3-3 structure.

“A key aspect of this proposal is to eliminate the examination barrier between JSS and SSS, allowing students to progress seamlessly without external assessments at that stage. However, this remains subject to further consultation and deliberation.

“To ensure a well-informed decision, the ministry will undertake extensive stakeholder engagements over the next eight months, consulting education policymakers, state governments, teachers, parents, and other key players. The final decision on whether to adopt this reform will be made at the National Council on Education meeting in October 2025.

“The ministry urges the public to disregard false claims that JSS and SSS have been scrapped. The Federal Government remains committed to policies that enhance access to quality education while aligning with global best practices.”
