10th-14th July 2023
The UBE Commission through the Digital Resource Center has conducted a round of inspection visits to 13 smart school projects in 13 states of the federation. The projects were jointly monitored by the UBEC Department of Physical Planning, ICT Unit, Zonal and State offices as well as ad-hoc committee members of the Smart Schools Committee.
Since most of the model smart schools’ infrastructure is almost completed, some have been selected for the commencement of activities by the September 2023/2024 academic session. To this end, an appraisal of the selected smart schools was undertaken to ascertain the level of project completion and preparedness for the take-off of academic activities and determine the supply and installation of furniture, ICT equipment, and other necessary components.
Additionally, the exercise aimed to offer a platform to interface with relevant stakeholders involved in driving the teaching/learning process while identifying and addressing any challenges before the start of operations in the selected smart schools.
The 13 smart school projects visited consisted of Adamawa, Anambra, Bauchi, Cross River, Ekiti, Gombe, FCT, Katsina, Nasarawa, Niger, Osun, Oyo and Sokoto States respectively.
