 About JSS2 Scheme of Work
In Nigeria, the second year of junior secondary education, known as JSS2, signifies a
stage of academic progression. Generally, students at this level are approximately
between the ages of 12 and 14. During this stage, students explore various topics in
greater detail, expanding upon the basics covered in JSS1. Also, the curriculum in-
corporates extracurricular activities to promote comprehensive growth.

The Junior Secondary School 2 (JSS2) Unified Scheme of Work in Nigeria serves as a
comprehensive guideline for educators to plan and execute teaching activities
throughout the academic year. The new scheme is driven by technology and has
equally enhanced the active participation of learners, improving standards in
schools across the state and tilting the students to internationally acceptable learn-
ing standards.

In 2023, the state governments unveiled the reviewed unified scheme of work, mo-
bile learning devices, and e-books for secondary school students, designed to make
learning more engaging and student-centred. The scheme of work is aimed at help-
ing the teachers develop lesson plans and notes that will reflect 21st-century learn-
ing, enabling students to study and research on their own. It is also aimed at en-
hancing the quality of education and ensuring consistency in teaching and learning
across schools in the state.

The unified scheme of work contains syllabi of various subjects required for the Ba-
sic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). It also contains lesson plans, assess-
ment methods, and teaching methodologies which are strategic for effective teach-
ing and learning.
 Introduction

Basic Technology for Junior Secondary Schools 2 is a foundational subject that in-

troduces students to essential technological concepts, skills, and knowledge. It pro-

vides students with a fundamental understanding of principles in technology aiming
to equip them with practical skills relevant to daily life and future career prospects.

The Basic technology scheme of work covers various areas such as simple ma-

chines, woodworking, metalworking, and introductory computer skills. By carrying

out theoretical learning and practical activities, students develop problem-solving

abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills essential for navigating the complexi-

ties of the modern world.

The study of basic technology in JSS2 serves as a stepping stone for further special-
ization in technology-related disciplines as students advance in their academic pur-
suits.
