Security Education is designed to provide students with the necessary knowledge and abilities to comprehend various aspects of security, safety, and personal protection within their communities and beyond. It includes topics such as emergency response, crime prevention, cyber security, and the functions of law enforcement agencies.
Security Education in JSS3 helps to shape students into informed and proactive citizens, ready to contribute to the security and well-being of their communities.
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 Security Education 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.
