FOREWORD
It is my pleasure to introduce this teaching scheme developed essentially as an offspring of the national curriculum,
and equipped with basic necessities needed for complete education of 21st-century pupils.

This teaching scheme is developed intentionally by the National Association of Proprietors and Private Schools
(NAPPS) to provide seamless teaching and learning platform for private pre-schools and basic schools in Nigeria. It
is designed to meet the lofty standards expected of private schools under the umbrella of NAPPS, and to raise the
standard of teaching in Nigerian Private Schools. However, this scheme is in tandem with the Government's
approved curriculum.

Furthermore, this document is specially created with the intention of providing adequate teaching guide for private
school teachers and a good pattern which can be used to develop lesson plans to effectively and efficiently impart
pupils in basic schools.As a result, this scheme is a tremendous improvement on existent schemes.

NAPPS through her team of seasoned professionals has taken well concerted precious effort to expand and
standardize the Government's approved curriculum for schools in order to create a unified NAPPS curriculum to
justify the long awaited NAPPS unified examination.

It is a great privilege to recommend this teaching scheme to all private schools who are registered members of the
National Association of Proprietors and Private Schools (NAPPS) for the purpose of achieving a common goal.
