The National Teachers’ Institute (NTI) in collaboration with the Universal Basic Education Commission conducted an intensive training workshop for UBEC Model Smart School Teachers.

The three-day training focused on the fundamental ethics of attitudinal change for teachers in the 14 operational UBE Model Smart Schools. It also aims to enhance the capacity of smart school personnel to perform their roles effectively.

The workshop took place in four geopolitical zones: Northeast, Northwest, North Central, and South, where a total of 195 individuals were successfully trained.

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.
