In line with Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s vision in the education sector, Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board, ASUBEB has enunciated and completed the project work on curriculum content delivery.
As a result, the Anambra State Unified Teaching Module For Primary Schools was launched during the ASUBEB Annual Retreat for Head teachers, Officers in Charge and Directors in Awka.
The unified teaching module was completed after months of hard work by concatenating all current National curriculum from National Educational Research and Development Council, NERDC.
This aims at improving and increasing the literacy and numeracy percentages of the learners at the primary school level, eliminate the use of outdated curriculum contents and ensure strict adherence to the approved uniform content and curriculum guide.

Before now, Primary Schools in the state did not engage a uniform curriculum to teach learners which has impacted negatively in the learning outcome of the learners especially those in the core public schools.
Thus, the action of the board by instituting a curriculum content delivery committee to work with subject teachers with track records (including both serving and retired teachers as well as those co-opted to work for Lagos, Edo and FCT) in the primary school teaching methodology is a welcome development
By implication, the curriculum was broken into scheme of work, providing sample lesson plan for all the subjects taught in the primary schools and Early Childhood Care and Development Education, ECCDE, targeted at simplifying the contents for the teachers to teach effectively and efficiently for the learners to benefit maximally.
The Anambra State Teaching Modules on all the subjects will serve as a guide to the teachers to ultimately enhance learners outcome with ease; of course, this is in addition to the Montessori methods that helps to develop creativity in the learners to make them functional members of the society on graduation from primary schools, in line with meeting the educational needs of the 21st century learners.
No doubt, the Anambra state unified teaching module for primary schools has solved the concern raised by primary school teachers teaching all subjects including those outside their specialty.
