Home » JSS3 Scheme of Work

In Nigeria, the third year of junior secondary education, known as JSS3, signifies the final stage of junior secondary school and ushers students into senior secondary school. During this stage, students explore various topics in greater detail, expanding upon the topics covered in JSS2.  Also, this scheme is carefully designed to provide the requirements of students for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

This scheme of work helps J.S.S.3 students in Nigeria at a very important time in getting ready for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). The Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is an examination given to students in their last year of Junior Secondary School. It’s a way for them to move from JSS3 to Senior Secondary School. Passing the BECE gives students a certificate that replaces their primary school certificate as their first official school leaving certificate. 

When students are in JSS3, they’re getting ready to move on to higher levels of school. So, it’s super important to make sure they have all the right knowledge and skills to do well not just now, but in the future too. This scheme of work is like a map for teachers, helping them teach different subjects in a way that matches what students need to learn according to the Nigerian educational rules.

The unified scheme of work contains syllabi of various subjects required for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). It also contains lesson plans, assessment methods, and teaching methodologies which are strategic for effective teaching and learning.
