Stakeholders mull inclusion of ICT in Education Curriculum
Stakeholders in the education sector have harped on the need for the federal government to reposition the education curriculum towards Information and Communication Technology (ICT), in order to create wealth and promote self-reliance.
Speaking at a youth’s leadership summit tagged, ‘Imaging the future’, Dr. Dolapo Tukuru, founder/lead strategist, Eduxtra Solutions, said that the present education curriculum will not help Nigeria students for the future.
According to him, it is very necessary to let the students know the power of technology. “We want to introduce technology to students, so that they can start early to incorporate this new trend into their learning, even if the school does not teach this trend, students can get the relevant information through the platform we create for them.”
Justifying the need for the event, the organizers; Mr. Elijah Olupona, principal facilitator, Invent Youth Leadership Initiative, said it was targeted at preparing the youths on how to become solution providers for the future.
Mrs. Oludara Oyebisi Okelola, tutor general, represented by Mrs. Shonibare Roseline Omolara, assistant director of Education, Education District VI, said the summit was an eye-opener for their students.
