The Federal Government of Nigeria has Introduced National Textbook Ranking System to Improve Quality Standardization in Schools .
The Federal Government has introduced a National Textbook Ranking System for Primary, Junior and Senior Secondary Schools to strengthen quality assurance and standardisation in Nigeria’s education sector.
The initiative aims to address the proliferation of textbooks and ensure that only high-quality, curriculum-compliant materials are approved for classroom use.
The Honourable Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, alongside the Honourable Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Sai’d Ahmad, stated that the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) will retain its statutory role of approving textbooks. However, approved textbooks will now undergo a structured national ranking process to identify the most suitable options for each subject and level.
NERDC will establish Standing Subject Committees comprising experts to conduct rigorous evaluations based on defined academic and pedagogical standards. Only a limited number of top-ranked textbooks will be approved, ensuring improved quality control and consistency nationwide.
Under the policy, any textbook not ranked will not be permitted for use, regardless of prior licensing status.
Implementation will commence from September 2026 following stakeholder engagement and completion of the evaluation framework.
The Federal Government reaffirmed its commitment to improving learning outcomes and ensuring access to high-quality educational resources.
