EduTimes Africa and the African Resource Development Centre (ARDC) dialogue on education
EduTimes Africa and the African Resource Development Centre (ARDC) have hosted an education policy dialogue themed, ‘Plugging the Gaps in Our Educational System.”
The dialogue, which assembled policy experts, educators, and development practitioners, focused on solutions to strengthen Nigeria’s learning systems and bridge the gap with national development goals.
Dr Oluwaseyi Anifowoshe, who spoke on ‘Getting the Best out of Teachers towards Improving Student Outcomes,’ expressed that teacher competence and motivation are key to successful educational reforms.
Anifowoshe recommended the use of four doors: Curriculum Rethink and Revamp, Students’ Learning Experience, Government Policy Actions, and Teachers’ Condition of Service and Welfare to improve the Nigerian education.
In addition, Dr Babatunde Obrimah disclosed that curriculum relevance must depict economic relevance. “If the classroom fails to adapt to the digital age, the labour market will continue to face widening skill mismatches,” he stated.
