Spread the wordThe Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) has distanced itself from a fake document circulating in the public requesting financial support for the production, printing and nationwide distribution of the Revised Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) for the 2026/2027 academic session. “The Management of NERDC hereby strongly and unequivocally disclaims any document or correspondence, under any guise or arrangement, requesting support from any institution for the production, printing and distribution of the Revised Basic Education Curriculum (BEC),” the statement read in part. The Council explained that adequate plans had already been put in place for the effective production, printing, dissemination and distribution of the revised curriculum through the appropriate federal and state authorities, agencies and departments in the education sector. Shehu, therefore, called on government agencies, educational institutions, stakeholders and the general public to ignore any correspondence purportedly issued by NERDC requesting financial support for the exercise. The Council reiterated that all legitimate information regarding the Revised Basic Education Curriculum would be communicated through its official channels.
