Airtel Nigeria Integrates into the Technical Team of the National Education Technology Strategy Plan
In a significant move to shape the future of education in Nigeria, telecommunications giant Airtel Nigeria has been inducted into the National Education Technology (EdTech) Strategy Technical Working Group (TWG). This group, established by the Federal Ministry of Education, is part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda for Education.
The EdTech Strategy, as it is known, is a coordinated framework aimed at integrating technology across Nigeria's education system. Its focus is on providing a 3-5 year roadmap for accelerating the nationwide adoption of digital learning tools. The strategy promotes inclusivity, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and long-term sustainability.
Airtel Nigeria's involvement in the EdTech Strategy reinforces its mission to drive digital inclusion and expand access to quality education. The company's efforts in digital education are already making a significant impact, connecting numerous schools and learners. Through its UNICEF Reimagine Education partnership, Airtel Nigeria has connected over 1,260 schools and 800,000 learners.
The National Education Technology (EdTech) Strategy Technical Working Group (TWG) is also involved in the integration of technology across Nigeria's education system. The group is working towards establishing a coordinated framework that will guide the effective use of technology in education.
Airtel Nigeria looks forward to working with the government and partners in shaping an education system where technology empowers every learner, everywhere. The company's membership in the EdTech Strategy Technical Working Group (TWG) is a testament to its commitment to digital education and digital inclusion in Nigeria.
It's worth noting that the chairperson of the government who initiated the Renewed Hope Agenda for Education is not identified in the provided search results. However, the inauguration of the National Education Technology (EdTech) Strategy Technical Working Group (TWG) by the Federal Ministry of Education marks a significant step towards achieving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's vision for a digitally empowered education system in Nigeria.
The EdTech Strategy is focused on integrating technology across Nigeria's education system, with the ultimate goal of preparing young Nigerians for future opportunities.
