Religion and National Values for Primary Schools: Civic Education (with Security Education) is a six-book series, purposely packaged to conform with the new Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) curriculum and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for the 9-Year Basic Education Programme in civic education and security education.
Books 1-3 are written to surpass the requirements of the curriculum for Lower Basic Education, while Books 4-6 are tailored to exceed the requirements of the curriculum for Middle Basic Education.
Completely new and thus putting the recommendations of the NERDC and the desire to attain the MDGs content within a reasonable time in perspective, the contents of the books are treated in a holistic manner to build morally sound and upright citizens who would ensure the promotion of the political and socio-economic development of Nigeria. Each book in the series is accompanied by a Workbook and Teacher's Guide for the lower and middle basic levels.
The authors are experienced teachers in the field and have been drawn to reflect the diverse cultures and experiences of Nigeria.
