For the general elections scheduled to begin on February 25, the Independent National Electoral Commission will deploy 707,384 presiding officers.<\/p>\n

The commission added that because electoral education was crucial, it needed to be incorporated into Nigeria’s primary schools’ National Values Curriculum.<\/p>\n

Festus Okoye, National Commissioner of INEC and Chairman of its Information and Voter Education Committee, made these remarks at the public unveiling of the primary school Electoral Education Curriculum and Teachers’ Guide.<\/p>\n

The curriculum<\/a> was created in collaboration with the Nigeria Educational Research and Development Council, INEC (through the Voter Education Department), National Orientation Agency, Civil Society Action Coalition on Education for All, and the Sustaining Electoral Engagement for Democracy project, which was funded by USAID and FCDO and implemented by the National Democratic Institute and IFES.<\/p>\n

Okoye said, \u201cWe believe that electoral education is important in the goals of our nation. Electoral education is a specialized area and that is why we have this curriculum being infused into the National Values Curriculum in our primary schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, for the 2023 general elections in Nigeria, the commission will deploy a total of 707, 384 presiding officers and assistant presiding officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese presiding officers will be drawn from the crop of young men and women doing their National Youth Service Corps, while the assistant presiding officers will be drawn from students from federal tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is therefore important for us to understand the importance of electoral education in the development of our democracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cA national civic education curriculum and teachers\u2019 guide with a specific focus on electoral education will prepare our children for the challenges ahead and also prepare them on how to respect other people\u2019s races and also prepare them to assume leadership in future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President of IFES, Anthony Banbury, said its contribution to the project was to strengthen Nigeria\u2019s electoral process through effective teaching and learning of civic education in primary schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo catch them young, the revised curriculum is a hallmark innovation that will introduce children and youth very early to the concept, processes, ethics, and values of democratic systems and governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be essential for the young people\u2019s orientation to initiate a shift from the existing norms. In the long term, it will increase civic participation and knowledge of democratic systems and values, as the children of today become the adults and the voters of tomorrow,\u201d Banbury said.<\/p>\n

The Executive Secretary of NERDC, Prof. Ismail Junaidu, said the aim was to strengthen the fabric of the nation\u2019s democracy for sustainable growth and development.<\/p>\n

According to him, since the return of democracy in 1999, citizens\u2019 participation in elections and the electoral process had remained an issue of concern.<\/p>\n

He also said that a known reason for this was the lack of adequate electoral knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cHence, promoting democratic electoral culture and developing civic skills are therefore necessary for well-informed and responsible participation in elections and in the electoral process,\u201d Junaidu said.<\/p>\n

He said that the above informed the initiative of the NERDC in collaboration with IFES to develop the Electoral Education Curriculum for primary schools in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

According to him, the curriculum, generally, is developed to expose young learners to the rudiments of democracy and inculcate in them the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for active citizens\u2019 participation in the democratic process.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecifically, the curriculum is designed to achieve five key objectives, which are to: equip learners with basic knowledge of the concept of democracy, the role of elections in democracy and good governance.<\/p>\n

He said the choice of primary school learners was hinged on the core principle of using education as an instrument of socialisation for the young to assume adult roles for the good of society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThus, the teaching of electoral education at this level will ensure that when children reach voting age, they would have already understood the fundamentals of active participation in the political and electoral process,\u201d Junaidu said.<\/p>\n

While commending the management of NERDC for the initiative, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, represented by his Senior Technical Assistant, Dr Claris Ujam, said the curriculum had become a dynamic process for sustainable national development.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cEvery time, there are changes or developments<\/a> happening around the world, the school curricula are affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, the inclusion of concepts and contents of electoral education under Civic Education is in line with the drive under the Ministry\u2019s Education for Change: A Ministerial Strategic Plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is to enable the acquisition of citizenship values and skills through quality education. The electoral education curricular contents constitute a remarkable step to create positive change in the election landscape and political development.\u201d<\/p>\n
