Meaning of Security Education (WK 1)
Origin of Security Education
The subject came into being when President Jonathan's administration organized the stakeholders
conference in 2010.
The conference was directed by the Nigeria Educational Research Development Council (NERDC). The
conference was organized to change the national educational curriculum in line with the millennium
development goals and national education policy.
At the stakeholders conference, it was agreed that the number of subjects done at the Junior School
level should be reduced. For this reason, religion and national values was introduced as a subject
comprising the following:
a. Civic Education
b. Social Studies
c. IRS/ CRS

* Note that today IRS/CRS has now been separated from national values.
