EKO HOT BLOG reports that Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu has provided e-learning mobile tablets to the 750 pioneer students of the new Comprehensive School model in Lagos State Public Secondary Schools in order to boost the learning of diverse vocational skills by beneficiaries in the 12 pilot schools.

The Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, emphasized the State Government’s investment and commitment to the success of the new fit-for-purpose and skill-based school model, noting that each teacher and school administrator also received mobile devices preloaded with curriculum content relevant.

She stated that the distribution of the mobile devices cut across comprehensive schools within the six Education Districts, adding that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s vision is to ensure that beneficiaries of the new school model are exposed to and equipped with relevant technology/tools and tutorials on self-reliance and adequate skills up to mastery level.

The Commissioner admonished the students to be extra careful while handling the gadgets and jealously keep their mobile devices to justify the huge sum of money expended in acquiring them.

The technical consulting team and owners of the SuccessTab brand, led by Oluwakoyejo Oluwatosin of Chronicle Software, said the customised mobile tablets are the first government-backed educational intervention programme in the country where all students and teachers use devices primarily in learning delivery.
