Recognizing the critical role of curriculum implementation in achieving national educational objectives, the study identifies these barriers highlighted concerning the misalignment between intended and implemented curricula, underscoring the need for strategic solutions. The paper then explores the prospects of Educational Resource Centres (ERCs) as catalysts for addressing these challenges. ERCs are portrayed as multifaceted entities capable of alleviating heavy academic loads, compensating for limited school facilities, and fostering inclusive education. The discussion emphasizes the alignment of ERCs with curriculum support, the provision of multimedia resources for diverse learning styles, and the pivotal role in dynamic instruction through advanced teaching aids. Furthermore, ERCs are seen as pivotal in providing educational support services, offering professional development opportunities for educators, and facilitating teachers' involvement in curriculum planning. It concludes by asserting the indispensable role ERCs play in reshaping the landscape of education, ensuring a future where curriculum implementation is not just a challenge but a collaborative journey that aids effective implementation which fosters achieving curriculum objectives that translate to attaining national developmental targets.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Curriculum, curriculum implementation, ERC, curriculum challenges. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding author.

Nigeria like most other countries of the world is undergoing rapid social, economic and political reforms, the impetus for these changes is fueled by the nation’s commitment to international goals of development such as the Education For All (EFA), Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its own home growth National Economic Empowerment and Development  \nStrategy (NEEDS) I and II that recognises education asa means of empowering people for the attainment of the nation’s developmental targets (Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council, 2014) .  \nNigeria’s philosophy of education is based on a set of beliefs that are set out in terms of their relevance to the needs of the individual and those of the society and are deeply enshrined in the curriculum process of the nation. These beliefs include:  \na) Education is an instrument for national development and social change.  \nAfr Educ Res J 2  \nb) Education is vital for the promotion of a progressive and united Nigeria.  \nc) Education maximises the creative potentials and skills of the individual for self-fulfilment and the general development of society.  \nd) Education is compulsory and right of every Nigerian irrespective of gender, social status, religion, colour, ethnicity, background, and any peculiar individual challenges.  \ne) Education is to be qualitative, comprehensive, functional, and relevant to the needs of society.(NER","cbCainFcMhU2svp4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainFcMhU2svp4","pdf",70625,"English","# Introduction\n# Curriculum implementation\n# Educational Resource Centres (ERCs) and prospects\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What challenges impede effective curriculum implementation in Nigerian higher education institutions?\",\"answer\":\"The paper highlights challenges including inadequate funding and a brain-drain crisis, which contribute to gaps between intended and implemented curricula.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the paper define curriculum implementation?\",\"answer\":\"Curriculum implementation is presented as a systematic organization of curriculum intentions and a plan executed through teacher-learner interactions in classrooms.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are Educational Resource Centres (ERCs) proposed as a solution?\",\"answer\":\"ERCs are described as multifaceted support systems that reduce academic load, compensate for limited facilities, foster inclusive education, and provide multimedia resources and curriculum-related support services.\"}]","Curriculum implementation: Challenges and the prospect of education resource centres to aid effective implementation | PDF",1792071521,13]
