The Federal Government has launched a National Textbook Ranking System for primary, junior, and senior secondary schools across the country. The initiative is aimed at improving quality assurance and standardisation in the education sector. Dr Tunji Alausa, Minister of Education, announced the development in a statement issued by Folasade Boriowo, Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education. The system will assess textbooks based on content accuracy, curriculum alignment, and pedagogical suitability. Specific criteria and implementation timelines were not disclosed in the statement. The Ministry said the ranking framework would support teachers, parents, and schools in selecting approved learning materials. No pilot phase or participating publishers were named. The announcement did not include details on how the rankings will be conducted or who will oversee the evaluation process. There was no mention of involvement from state governments or private school associations. The Ministry emphasized the importance of standardised educational content in enhancing learning outcomes. Further updates on the rollout are expected in the coming weeks.
