The Minister of Education, Olatunji Alausa, has announced that Nigeria is embarking on major digital education reforms designed to modernise the learning system and equip students with skills needed to thrive in a globally competitive environment.
During a media briefing in Abuja, Alausa said, “Education is changing across the world, and Nigeria must not be left behind. From Artificial Intelligence (AI) to digital literacy, we are embedding technology into every aspect of learning.
“This is the big leap we must take if we want to build an education system that is modern, inclusive, and globally competitive. The ministry has begun rolling out solar-powered infrastructure in schools to ensure reliable electricity, while teachers are being equipped with tablets and trained in digital skills. Local technology firms are also being engaged to develop AI-driven learning platforms, e-libraries, and interactive tools to support the reforms,” he explained.
“These innovations will make classrooms smarter, learning more engaging, and teachers more effective. Beyond improving outcomes, they will prepare Nigerian students for a digital economy that rewards creativity, problem-solving, and global collaboration,” the minister added.
