Abstract

Education is the quintessence of living. Therefore, there is no gainsaying or vain glory when a nation pursues education with all her resources like a hungry lion pursues its prey with all its strength. However, such an effort should not be an aimless pursuit or chasing the wind. Because it is through education that a nation realizes her aims, goals and objectives through structuring all these needs into curriculum. Curriculum designers should take cognizance of the immediate and proximate needs of the learner and that of the society(Nation). Thus, Responsive Curriculum Development becomes inevitable in order to carry out this important task. In this excursus, Current Nigerian Education System, conceptual analysis of responsive curriculum, The Privation in Nigerian Educational System, Responsive Curriculum as a panacea in Nigerian Educational System and Implication to National Development were X-rayed. This is to unravel the need of responsive curriculum development to Nigerian Educational System.
