Dr. Alausa, who recently attended a three-day executive briefing at AWS headquarters in Washington, D.C., revealed that the collaboration will enhance digital skills training and e-learning capabilities for Nigerian students and educators.
Currently, AWS offers free university and postgraduate-level courses to 12 Nigerian institutions, including the University of Port Harcourt, which has already trained 350 students.
However, under the Federal Ministry of Education’s NESRI and six-point agenda, the initiative will be expanded to all 64 federal universities, 68 state universities, and 139 private universities, ensuring that a wider pool of students benefits from advanced digital education.
“The global education landscape is changing rapidly,” Dr. Alausa stated. “To better equip our students and teachers, we will be partnering with AWS in areas such as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), coding, cloud technology, and digital skills development.”
The Minister also highlighted plans to leverage AWS’ collaboration with the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) to minimize downtime on Nigeria’s e-learning platforms, making online education more accessible and efficient.
He expressed gratitude to key stakeholders, including Joel Ogunsola, CEO of Prunege, for facilitating the discussions, and the AWS team for their interactive sessions.
The announcement has been met with widespread enthusiasm, with education experts and industry professionals praising the move as a game-changer for Nigeria’s educational sector.
