Abstract

Curriculum management in Nigerian Secondary schools is pivotal for advancing sustainable development goals (SDGs). Effective curriculum management encompasses the design, implementation, and periodic review of educational programmes to ensure they meet current and future needs. Despite significant efforts, numerous challenges persist, including inadequate infrastructure, insufficient teacher training, and outdated educational policies. Addressing these issues presents opportunities for reform, such as integrating modern pedagogical approaches and aligning curricula with global sustainability standards. By focusing on these areas, Nigerian secondary schools can enhance educational quality and better contribute to sustainable development. This theoretical explores the complexities of curriculum management in the context of Nigerian secondary education, highlighting both the obstacles and potential solutions for fostering a more Robust and responsive educational system.
