THE EFFECT OF HISTORY EDUCATION REMOVAL FROM THE OSUN STATE CURRICULUM

ABSTRACT

This study investigates the repercussions of the removal of history education from the curriculum in Osun State, Nigeria. The decision to eliminate history education from the formal education system raises concerns about its potential impact on the understanding of cultural heritage, national identity, and civic consciousness among students. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research assesses the consequences of this curriculum change on students’ historical knowledge, critical thinking skills, and their connection to the rich cultural tapestry of Osun State.

The study engages both qualitative and quantitative methods, including surveys, interviews, and content analysis of educational materials. By examining the perspectives of educators, students, and other stakeholders, the research aims to uncover the implications of this educational policy shift on the broader community. Additionally, an analysis of academic performance data and students’ attitudes towards history before and after the removal will provide valuable insights into the short-term and potential long-term effects.

This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the role of history education in shaping informed citizens and preserving cultural heritage. The findings will inform educational policymakers, curriculum developers, and educators about the consequences of such decisions on the holistic development of students and the preservation of historical consciousness in Osun State. Ultimately, the study advocates for a comprehensive understanding of the impact of curriculum changes on the educational landscape and the broader socio-cultural fabric of the region.
