Nigerians React Over The Merging Of CRK And IRS Into One Subject By The Ministry Of Education

This changes has attracted mixed reactions from Nigerians. While some see it as a welcomed development, others see it a move in the wrong direction. 

Following the efforts of the Federal Ministry of Education in reducing the workload for primary and junior secondary pupils, it was learnt that subjects like Christian Religious Studies (CRS) and Islamic Religious Studies (IRS),Civic Education, Social Studies, and Security Education will now be merged into one compulsory subject known as Religion and National Values (RNV).

Report from one commenter, "This plan will fail in core Northern States because no teacher will dare teach an Almajiri about Jesus Christ that will not have his head on a pike the next day."

"This will fail in SS/SE because No teacher there will be able to teach students Qur'anic education because they don't even know it and will NEVER learn it."

"It will be a success in the SW because of religious tolerance that they espouse."
