SCIENCE CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION IN TIIE NEW MILLENNIUM

Science Curriculum has had some constraints in its implementation rights from the time education came to Nigeria. This was associated with the foreign nature of the subject, its abstractness and lack of instructional materials. The traditional beliefs of the people and medium of instruction also has not been left out in the hindrances to the effective implementation. This paper therefore looked at the frend of science curriculum implementation in the pre and post colonial days; most especially in the new millennium pointing out the problems associated with the implementation. Recommendations were also proffered with the aim of achieving a successful and effective science curriculum implementation in Nigeria.
