He, however, highlighted various upheavals hampering the growth of the country, adding that the incoming government must channel huge funds in making technology an inseparable part of the education system in Nigeria.
“Funding is the most critical factor. There’s just not enough money. There’s also not enough deliberate intention to invest in education, a lot of lip service being paid to it, but not enough going into the sector. Secondly, there’s a disconnection between where the world actually is where we are. Education is now technology led globally and you could see that happening after COVID. We couldn’t go to school.
“So, there has been a big shift in education. Technology now leads the learning space, so that the investment to be able to drive that is critical. For any country that wants to be a major player in world affairs going forward you must be leading in technology. Also, the percentage of our budget that should go into education needs to be urgently improved at say 20% going into education at least.
“Secondly, the trickle-down effect tracing that fund to make sure that the money that goes in gives us outstanding return for every Naira spent in education, whether it’s teacher training, whether it’s curriculum development, whether it’s infrastructure, the learning environment itself. When you go and you look at most of our public schools, would you want to send your child to a public school in Nigeria? These are the questions that they need to address urgently”, he said.NYSC Portal
