… Challenges Alunmi Groups To Equip Their Schools
The Media & Digital Skills Centre Nigeria has launched the ‘Support Coding Education Initiatives’ for Public School.
A Statement released by the Managing Director of the Centre, Engr. (Dr.) Ajibola Abiola, noted that Coding has been recognised as the foundational and most creative knowledge in the World today, that birthed Operating Systems – Android/IOS, Robots, Drones, Artificial Intelligence, Apps and all Smart Devices.
According to him: “We are living in an Era where all the aforementioned technologies are changing the global landscape in a multidimensional way. Right now, we cannot afford to leave our Children behind”
He affirmed this is why the Federal Government of Nigeria has recently decided to integrate coding as a subject into the school Curriculum.
Engr. Abiola however declared that the government may not be able to provide all the necessary materials and facilities required to kick-start the programme, especially in Public Schools.
He therefore called on well-meaning individuals especially Old Students Associations to sponsor Unique Coding Books (Level 1-5) & the corresponding Teacher’s Guide for their Alma mater so that instruction can take off in earnest.
He requested all interested Old Students to call or chat Korede on MEDIA & DIGITAL SKILL CENTRE, NIGERIA on 08076550585 and discuss how to leave footprints in their former schools by getting copies for the current set of students.
