DESIGNING CURRICULUM TO MEET PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS OF NIGERIAN NOMADS: IMPLICATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH EDUCATION
Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Government’s effort in commissioning nomadic education in Nigeria has not yielded much success especially in meeting nomads’ intellectual, physical, economic and psychosocial concerns. With the existing curricular contents of the NERDC literacy rate is still low.To a large extent, the low rate of literacy can be traced to obvious challenges of curricular flaws. The paper, therefore, examined many of the flaws in evidence-based psychosocial challenges including among others unsuitable curriculum, flood-ridden schools, poor medium of instruction, psychophysiological, socio-cultural, and marginalization and deprivation. While recognising the relevance of the existing NERDC curriculum for the diverse needs of the domicile Nigerian learners, and the need to respond to the SDGs global call for universal literacy and poverty eradication of all citizenry, the paper advanced a platform in the form of a curriculum which will not only cover some of those needs but incorporate the broader and complex psychosocial issues of the SDGs that bear on Nigerian nomads in five chronological steps.
