Overview

The document is the Implementation Guidelines for the National Policy on Science and Technology Education, published by the Federal Ministry of Education in Nigeria in November 2019. It provides a framework for executing the policy, which aims to drive national growth through science and technical education. The guidelines cover goals and objectives, thematic areas (including curriculum, teacher training, infrastructure, and funding), human resource development, stakeholder roles (government, private sector, educational institutions), funding mechanisms, management plans, infrastructure requirements, and standardization/quality assurance. The foreword by Minister of Education Adamu Adamu highlights the historical lack of a specific national policy for science and technical education since 1842, attributing this gap to poverty and underdevelopment. It emphasizes the policy's role in empowering citizens, reducing poverty and social vices, and building a self-reliant nation.
