In a bid to strengthen the smart education initiative and ensure its sustainability in Nigeria, the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

The purpose of the agreement is to execute the NCDMB-UBEC Smart Schools Development Initiative (NUSSDI), which will utilize the collective mandates, expertise, and resources of the two federal agencies to establish smart schools furnished with contemporary technology and inventive teaching methods.

The MoU seeks to develop and implement local content programmes in basic education, foster research and development in basic education and promote industry-academia partnerships. The NCDMB will offer training and professional development for smart school educators, and together with UBEC, will engage in infrastructure development initiatives.
