By: Ojo Emmanuel Ademola In the face of the 21st-century education landscape, Nigeria faces critical challenges in reforming its education system. Recognizing the need for sustainable and holistic change, advocates must orchestrate a digital transformation that addresses the whole ecosystem, from policy, pedagogy and andragogy to infrastructure and community engagement. Here is a strategic blueprint for this endeavour: 1. Visionary Leadership and Collaborative Roadmap: - Convene stakeholders, including educational leaders, policymakers, and the private sector, to craft a shared vision that reflects national educational goals within a digital context. - Develop a roadmap with clear goals, actionable steps, and measurable milestones for steering the digital transformation initiatives. 2. Policy Innovation and Regulatory Support: - Campaign for forward-thinking educational policies that encourage innovation, promote inclusivity and support the integration of digital tools in classrooms. - Institute regulatory measures that facilitate technology adoption while ensuring data privacy and security for users. 3. Public-Private Synergy: - Foster partnerships between government entities, industrial players, and non-profit organizations to amalgamate resources and expertise into education technology initiatives. - Encourage corporate social responsibility investments in educational digital transformation. 4. Infrastructure for Connectivity and Power: - Advocate for essential infrastructure improvements that provide the backbone for digital initiatives, such as stable power supply, high-speed internet access, and technology-friendly learning spaces. - Invest in renewable energy sources and technologies that are compatible with Nigeria's geographic and socioeconomic realities. 5. Capacity Building for Educators: - Call for comprehensive training programs that enable teachers to effectively leverage technology in delivering curriculum and facilitating student engagement. - Introduce incentive mechanisms for teachers who excel in adapting and implementing digital education strategies. 6. Redefining Curriculum with Digital Competence: - Press for a curriculum overhaul to integrate digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills as core competencies. - Create accessible and relevant digital learning materials, ensuring the representation of local languages and cultural contexts. 7. Ensuring Equitable Digital Access: - Strive to diminish the digital divide by instituting policies and programs that increase access to digital tools for underprivileged and rural communities. - Promote initiatives that target the participation of marginalized groups, especially girls and students with disabilities, in the digital learning sphere. 8. Innovation, Research, and Knowledge Exchange: - Champion research initiatives that assess the effectiveness of digital transformation strategies and help tailor future policy and practice. - Establish collaborative networks for sharing of successful models and innovative practices in digital education, both nationally and internationally. 9. Evaluation and Adaptation Mechanisms: - Set up robust monitoring and evaluation systems to consistently assess the impact of digital teaching tools and methodologies on educational outcomes. - Use insights gathered to enable adaptive learning and continuous improvement of digital transformation efforts. 10. Community and Stakeholder Engagement: - Implement widespread awareness and sensitization campaigns to underscore the advantages of digital education for individuals and the broader society. - Incorporate input from parents, teachers, and learners to guarantee that digital tools and approaches resonate with the community's needs. 11. Global Partnerships and Learning: - Leverage international partnerships and global programs to acquire technical expertise and funding to support digital transformation projects. - Engage with multinational education frameworks to align Nigeria's digital education initiatives with global standards and innovations. 12. Future-Proofing Education: - Ensure that the Nigerian education system can swiftly respond to technological advancements and that it is insulated from potential digital risks. By laying out this strategic blueprint, Nigeria can thoroughly reimagine its educational model, embracing the digital era to not only enhance learning outcomes but also to empower its younger generation to compete and thrive in a rapidly evolving global digital economy. https://g.co/kgs/KgLkSb Prof. Ojo Emmanuel Ademola is the first Nigerian Professor of Cyber Security and Information Technology Management, and the first Professor of African descent to be awarded a Chartered Manager Status.

The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, in collaboration with the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation (OHCSF) and Microsoft, through its implementation partner, Wootlab Foundation, has announced an initiative to enhance the digital skills of civil servants across various Ministries in Nigeria.

This is part of a strategic move by the OHCSF to prepare the public sector workforce for the digital era of the Civil Service.

Through this partnership, Microsoft is helping lay a foundation for digital transformation in Nigeria, providing government employees with in-demand digital skills for the 21st-century workplace and empowering them to contribute towards the digitisation of important public services.

In 2023, the OHCSF, supported by the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation, implemented an Enterprise Content Management Solution (ECMS) to automate all its work processes in line with the federal government’s e-governance drive.

Recognising that the digital readiness of civil servants is a key driver of the success and sustainability of the ECMS, the Foundation partnered with Microsoft to develop a digital upskilling programme for civil servants.

This programme will equip participating civil servants with essential digital skills, fostering a workforce that is not only digitally competent but also capable of driving continued innovation within the Civil Service. The official commencement of the digital upskilling programme was marked by a Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony at the Federal Secretariat, OHCSF, in Abuja.

The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation’s support for the digitalisation of the Nigerian Civil Service is just one facet of its collaboration with the OHCSF.

Other projects supported by the Foundation include the development of an e-learning platform for the Civil Service, the introduction of a robust performance management system, and a culture change initiative aimed at nurturing the right values in civil servants.

Additionally, as part of its ongoing commitment to building the capacity of the government workforce, the Foundation recently brokered a public-private sector partnership that provided 8-week internships to civil servants across various private sector organisations as part of the 2023 Leadership Enhancement and Development Programme (LEAD-P), a ten-month training programme designed to build the capacity of Nigeria’s future public sector leaders.

The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation is committed to driving and supporting impactful initiatives that contribute to the growth and efficiency of the Nigerian public sector for the benefit of all Nigerians.
