Abstract

Business studies was introduced to the Nigerian secondary school curriculum in 1982 as a means of meeting the national technological and economic needs, as articulated in the National Education Policy. In order to meet this objective a business studies scheme intended to give the Junior Secondary School students a general introduction to the broad field of business was designed. Five different business subjects were brought together to form a component programme called Business Studies. The programme has since been described as an integrated curriculum. This work has been undertaken to show that it is a co-ordinated rather than an integrated curriculum. The steps for the successful development of a truly integrated Junior Secondary School Business Studies curriculum, using a systems approach, have been demonstrated.
