Co-ordinator, Commonwealth Students Association(CSA), Precious Ebere has stressed the need to expose disadvantaged/indigent students to technological aids to enhance their education.
In a statement, she noted that students would also like to see an increase in online and digital learning opportunities, as technological tools continue to offer convenient and efficient access to education resources.
She said: “Technology can be a powerful tool for enhancing education, particularly for disadvantaged students who may not have access to the same resources as their peers. Leaders can support initiatives that provide technological resources to schools and teachers and ensure that students have access to reliable internet connectivity.
“The future of education is continually changing and evolving. However, some of the things that many students want to see in the future of education include more personalised learning experiences, more opportunities to engage with real world issues and problems, and more opportunities to network and connect with other students and educators’’.
The renowned development expert and policy analyst underscored the need to bridge inequality gaps in African democracy while advocating effective interventions that provide equal access to education and long-term learning outcomes for marginalised Nigerians by engaging critical stakeholders, encouraging youths.
On addressing challenges in the education sector, she said: “Following a real-time survey, it was discovered that Nigeria suffered lots of issues, from reducing 10.2 million out-of-school children to a situation where unemployment rate jumped and has been disproportionately borne by young people with almost 30 per cent of them out of work. We came up with an innovation called DO
Skill Up Climb Up, a 10-year human capacity development project. It was primarily targeted at addressing the challenges of skills deficit, poverty, unemployment rates, among others.
“However, the initiative is contributing to the achievements of improving access to quality education and opportunity for young people using skills and human capacity development.
“It is designed to impact 50,000 young people by 2030, with ongoing projects in Abuja, Rivers and Taraba. It has empowered over 500 women, 50 creatives, and provided employment for 20 creatives.”

Ebere, who said it was imperative to use technological aids boost education, noted that she developed an application called ALLO. She described it as an inclusive-interactive audio and visual instructional device that captures the Teaching at the Right Level (TARL) concept.
According to her, the application contains a learner-centered learning kit with pre-recorded and audio interactive lessons content and micro-learning resources for primary, junior and secondary school students with a focus on STEM subjects covering Mathematics, English and Science for Primary school pupils, Mathematics, English, Basic Science, and Basic Technology for Junior School students and Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology for Senior School students while also preparing them for examinations such as West African Senior School Certificate Examination WASSCE in line with the curriculum.
