In a landmark policy shift aimed at fostering inclusivity and mutual respect, the Governor of Katsina State has approved the inclusion of Christian Religious Studies (CRS) in the state’s educational curriculum.
The decision, widely hailed by educators and community leaders, is being described as a bold step toward nurturing unity among the state’s diverse religious population.
Teachers have lauded the move, emphasising that the introduction of CRS will offer students a richer understanding of morality, ethics, and interfaith harmony.
By broadening academic exposure to multiple religious perspectives, the policy is expected to deepen respect and tolerance in a region often characterised by religious sensitivities.
Observers note that this decision reflects the state government’s determination to build a society where every citizen feels acknowledged and valued, regardless of faith.
As Katsina advances in its development agenda, this historic inclusion of CRS stands out as a milestone in the pursuit of lasting social cohesion.
