 About JSS2 Scheme of Work
In Nigeria, the second year of junior secondary education, known as JSS2, signifies a
stage of academic progression. Generally, students at this level are approximately
between the ages of 12 and 14. During this stage, students explore various topics in
greater detail, expanding upon the basics covered in JSS1. Also, the curriculum in-
corporates extracurricular activities to promote comprehensive growth.

The Junior Secondary School 2 (JSS2) Unified Scheme of Work in Nigeria serves as a
comprehensive guideline for educators to plan and execute teaching activities
throughout the academic year. The new scheme is driven by technology and has
equally enhanced the active participation of learners, improving standards in
schools across the state and tilting the students to internationally acceptable learn-
ing standards.

In 2023, the state governments unveiled the reviewed unified scheme of work, mo-
bile learning devices, and e-books for secondary school students, designed to make
learning more engaging and student-centred. The scheme of work is aimed at help-
ing the teachers develop lesson plans and notes that will reflect 21st-century learn-
ing, enabling students to study and research on their own. It is also aimed at en-
hancing the quality of education and ensuring consistency in teaching and learning
across schools in the state.

The unified scheme of work contains syllabi of various subjects required for the Ba-
sic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). It also contains lesson plans, assess-
ment methods, and teaching methodologies which are strategic for effective teach-
ing and learning.
 Introduction

The Cultural and Creative Arts (CCA) is an integration of Music, Visual Arts, Drama,

and Dance in which a student is expected to grow alongside the cultural heritage of

his people.

In junior secondary schools, cultural and creative arts education helps students ex-

plore their creativity and learn about different types of art, like music, painting, act-

ing, and dancing. It is a way for them to express themselves and discover their cul-

tural heritage.

Through these activities, students not only develop important skills but also get to
understand more about themselves and the world they live in. They also learn and

appreciate the many ways people express themselves through art.
