 About SSS2 Scheme of Work
The SS2 unified scheme of work reviewed by the Lagos State Government details
the curriculum for students in their second year of senior secondary education. It
builds on the foundation from SS1, preparing students for their final year and major
external exams like the WASSCE and NECO. Covering core subjects such as English
and Mathematics, along with various science, arts, and vocational subjects, the cur-
riculum focuses on both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. It aims to de-
velop well-rounded students with critical thinking abilities and real-world problem-
solving skills. Regular reviews ensure the curriculum stays up-to-date with educa-
tional standards and societal needs, fostering the development of competent indi-
viduals ready for higher education or the workforce.

The primary goals of the SSS1 scheme of work include:

 Providing students with the knowledge and skills needed for academic achieve-
ment and personal growth.
 Deepening their understanding of core subjects to prepare them for more spe-
cialized studies in SSS2 and SSS3.
 Enhancing their critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and ability to learn in-
dependently.
 Promoting ethical behavior, civic responsibility, and a dedication to lifelong
learning.
 Preparing students for external exams such as the West African Senior School
Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the National Examination Council (NECO)
exams.
To boost student engagement and learning outcomes, the SSS2 scheme of work
utilizes various teaching methods, such as:

 Encouraging active participation through discussions, group work, and presenta-

tions.
 Including laboratory experiments, field trips, and hands-on activities to support
theoretical learning.
 Using digital tools and resources to facilitate learning and provide access to in-
formation.
 Involving students in projects that demand critical thinking, creativity, and col-
laboration.
 Introduction
Physical Education (PE) in Senior Secondary School 2 (SSS2) is a mandatory
subject that focuses on fitness, health awareness, teamwork, discipline, and
overall well-being among students.
The Lagos State unified scheme of work for SSS2 PE includes a variety of
activities like athletics, team sports (football, basketball, volleyball), and in-
dividual sports (swimming, athletics). These activities aim to give students a
broad understanding of physical activity, improving their skills and encourag-
ing teamwork.
The PE scheme of work in SS2 also emphasizes values such as fair play,
