Osun State Scheme of Work For Senior Secondary Schools (SS1 – SS3) For All Subjects (2025)


Secondary schools in Osun State follow a uniform curriculum plan. In education, a plan of work serves as a blueprint for courses and their respective content and organization. The scheme of work for secondary schools in Osun State, whether junior or senior, lays out in clear terms how resources like teacher-talk, group work, practical, discussions and assessment strategies, tests, quizzes, Questions and Answers, homework, and even midterm breaks for the session ought to be structured to fit in perfectly with the academic session.


The Government of Osun State, via the Ministry of Education, mandates that all senior Secondary Schools in Osun State adhere to this document, which serves as a comprehensive guide to the academic activities required of students throughout the academic session and not just the courses they are taking. It’s utilized to make sure the class as a whole learns what it’s supposed to.

Principals and teachers in secondary schools in Osun State are required to adhere to the approved scheme of work as mandated by the ministry of education, which is the same for both public and private schools from senior Secondary School (SS) 1 through SS 3.

The scheme of work for senior secondary schools is the same for all subjects from SS1 to SS3. This includes Mathematics, English Language, Chemistry, Physics, and Accounting.

This is a lengthy document because it contains the government-approved curriculum maps for all subjects taught in Osun State senior high schools. The approved scheme of work for any subject provided in senior Secondary School (SS1), senior Secondary School (SS2), and senior Secondary School (SS3) can be found here, and would be of great assistance if you are planning to open a school in Osun State.
