The Digital Resource Center (DRC) of the Universal Basic Education Commission held a 2-Day Interactive Session with prospective principals of the Model Smart Schools on Wednesday 8th-Thursday 9th February, 2023.
The session was aimed at acquainting the prospective principals with the novel concept of smart schools, training them on blended learning techniques, digital literacy and effective school management skills, and having interactive discussions with them on the progress achieved in their various states on the smart schools programme.
The Executive Secretary of the Commission, Dr. Hamid Bobboyi, in his welcome address, read by the National Co-ordinator of the UBEC Digital Resource Center, Prof. Bashir Galadanci, urged the principals to put in their best noting that the success of the programme largely depended on their commitment and dedication in the discharge of their functions as the administrative heads of these institutions.
There are 37 Model Smart Schools (one per state and the FCT) constructed by the Federal Government. They are highly sophisticated state-of-the-art basic education institutions with massive infrastructure and a wide array of modern ICT equipment expected to commence operations in September, 2023.
