About JSS3 Igbo Scheme of Work
In Junior Secondary School 3 (JSS3) 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 preparation for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), studying Igbo enhances students’ proficiency in the Igbo language, vital for effective communication and preserving cultural heritage in Igbo-speaking regions. By engaging with Igbo literature, traditions, and history, students develop a strong sense of identity and cultural pride.
Studying Igbo in junior secondary schools 3 (JSS3) not only aids in achieving academic success in the BECE but also fosters linguistic diversity and cultural understanding.
Assessment Guide
The crowning event for Jss3 and the Junior Secondary school as a whole is the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) which is taken mid-third term. The assessment methods for Igbo include written examinations, which may consist of multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions, and essay-type questions. These exams are conducted in a controlled environment to ensure fairness and integrity.
Furthermore, continuous assessment, which involves periodic tests, assignments, and projects conducted throughout the academic session, also contributes to the overall BECE assessment. This allows for an all-around evaluation of students’ performance and progress over time.
