Chinese Language to Be Taught in Nigerian Secondary Schools from 2025/2026 Session
In a major educational development, the Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the inclusion of Chinese Language (Mandarin) in the new curriculum for senior secondary schools.
The decision follows a recent review of the national curriculum and will officially take effect from the 2025/2026 academic session.
According to officials, the move underscores the growing diplomatic, cultural, and economic ties between Nigeria and China. It is also in line with global trends of encouraging multilingual learning to equip students with skills for international opportunities.
To support the rollout, initiatives such as the establishment of Chinese Corners in schools have been introduced, aimed at fostering both cultural and educational exchange.
Education experts say the inclusion of Mandarin will not only broaden Nigerian students’ horizons but also strengthen Nigeria’s capacity to engage in global trade and diplomacy.
