About JSS2 Igbo Scheme of Work
In Junior Secondary School 2 (JSS2) in Nigeria, students learn about the language and culture of the Igbo people. Igbo is one of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria. It is a big part of Nigeria’s southeastern culture, spoken by millions of people.
In class, they study how to speak, read, and write Igbo, as well as learn about Igbo traditions and stories. By studying Igbo, students not only learn a language but also learn about the history and customs of the Igbo people, which helps them appreciate Nigeria’s diverse cultures and strengthens their sense of identity.
Assessment Guide
In junior secondary schools, how students are assessed in Igbo can differ from school to school. However, typically, they are evaluated through tests or oral quizzes (Continuous Assessment Tests) and end-of-term exams.
Grading usually follows a scale from A to F, with A representing excellent performance, typically scoring around 70% or 80%, and F indicating failure, usually below 45%.
