Is RNV Still a Subject in Nigerian Schools? What Replaced Religion and National Values

<blockquote style="border-color: currentcolor; border-image: none; border-style: none; border-width: medium; border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;">For the background to the curriculum that originally introduced Religion and National Values, read our earlier explanation of <a href="https://akomst.blogspot.com/2013/11/basic-education-curriculum-revised.html">Nigeria’s revised Basic Education Curriculum</a>.</p></blockquote><h3 data-end="4535" data-section-id="17ral3i" data-start="4514">1. What RNV means</h3>

<p data-end="4245" data-start="4006" style="text-align: left;"><strong data-end="4049" data-start="4006">RNV means Religion and National Values.</strong> It was a composite subject that brought together Christian Religious Studies or Islamic Studies, Social Studies, Civic Education and Security Education under Nigeria’s Basic Education Curriculum.</p>Under the revised curriculum being introduced from the 2025/2026 academic year, RNV is no longer listed as one composite subject. CRS and Islamic Studies are listed separately, while Nigerian History and Social and Citizenship Studies appear as distinct subjects.<h3 data-end="4535" data-section-id="17ral3i" data-start="4514">2. Subjects formerly contained in RNV</h3>
<ul data-end="4759" data-start="4651"><li data-end="4681" data-section-id="rwg2m" data-start="4651">Christian Religious Studies;
</li>
<li data-end="4700" data-section-id="1yctca" data-start="4682">
Islamic Studies;
</li>
<li data-end="4718" data-section-id="1y9m7up" data-start="4701">
Social Studies;
</li>
<li data-end="4737" data-section-id="56h8of" data-start="4719">
Civic Education;
</li>
<li data-end="4759" data-section-id="n63jh6" data-start="4738">
Security Education.
</li>
</ul>
<p data-end="4957" data-start="4761" style="text-align: left;">Christian and Muslim pupils were not expected to study both religions. Schools were required to organise separate Christian Religious Studies and Islamic Studies classes according to the pupils’ religious backgrounds. </p>
<h3 data-end="4988" data-section-id="13px5m0" data-start="4959">3. Why RNV was introduced</h3>
RNV was introduced mainly to reduce subject overload by grouping related religion, citizenship, social and value-oriented subjects under one curriculum heading.<br /><p data-end="5113" data-start="4990" style="text-align: left;">
</p><p data-end="2260" data-start="2083" style="text-align: left;">The arrangement reduced the number of subjects appearing on school timetables, although the different components were still expected to be taught by suitably qualified teachers.</p>
<h3 data-end="5145" data-section-id="73mzz5" data-start="5115">4. Is RNV still a subject?</h3>
<p data-end="5613" data-start="5480" style="text-align: left;"><span data-end="5613" data-start="5480">No. RNV does not appear as a composite subject in the revised Basic Education Curriculum.</span> </p><p data-end="5613" data-start="5480" style="text-align: left;">Its former components have either been separated or reorganised. Religious education is now listed independently, while citizenship and social-learning content is taught through Social and Citizenship Studies.</p>
<p>Therefore, a school implementing the revised curriculum should no longer present Religion and National Values as one combined subject for the affected classes. </p>
<h3 data-end="5640" data-section-id="z4m9rd" data-start="5615">5. What replaced RNV?</h3>

<h3 data-end="6623" data-section-id="1x7c9zt" data-start="6593">7. Implementation timeline</h3>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-end="5190" data-start="5137">The revised curriculum is being introduced in phases.<span aria-hidden="true" class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchor"></span></p><p data-end="5241" data-start="5192">The official implementation strategy begins with:</p><ul data-end="5281" data-start="5243">
<li data-end="5255" data-section-id="chpc7i" data-start="5243">
Primary 1;

JSS 1.
</li>
</ul><p data-end="5592" data-start="5283">It then progresses to the next class levels each year, with full introduction across the basic education classes expected within three years.

</p><p data-end="5793" data-start="5594">Because implementation may differ in practice across states and schools, administrators should also follow directives from their State Ministry of Education and State Universal Basic Education Board.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Conclusion</h3><p data-end="5950" data-start="5810">RNV means Religion and National Values, but it is no longer listed as one composite subject in Nigeria’s revised Basic Education Curriculum.</p><p data-end="6111" data-start="5952">Its major components have been separated or reorganised into Christian Religious Studies, Islamic Studies, Nigerian History and Social and Citizenship Studies.</p><p data-end="5793" data-start="5594">

</p><p data-end="6306" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="" data-start="6113">Schools should therefore update their timetables, lesson plans, report sheets and instructional materials according to the revised curriculum rather than continuing to treat RNV as one subject.</p>
