 About 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, expand-

ing upon the topics covered in JSS2. Also, this scheme is carefully designed to pro-

vide 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 Edu-

cation 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 Se-

nior 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 Ba-

sic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). It also contains lesson plans, assess-

ment methods, and teaching methodologies which are strategic for effective teach-

ing and learning.

 Introduction

The Cultural and Creative Arts (CCA) is an integration of Music, Visual Arts,

Drama, and Dance in which a student is expected to grow alongside the cul-

tural heritage of his people.

In junior secondary schools, cultural and creative arts education helps students

explore their creativity and learn about different types of art, like music, paint-

ing, acting, and dancing. It is a way for them to express themselves and dis-

cover their cultural heritage.

Through these activities, students not only develop important skills but also

get to understand more about themselves and the world they live in. They also

learn and appreciate the many ways people express themselves through art.
