Lagos State government said yesterday it had commenced the process of reviewing school curriculum with a view to having tailor-made and purpose build tablets for students.
The state Deputy Governor, Dr Idiat Adebule, who made the disclosure, also challenged education stakeholders in the state to begin the review of the curriculum to align with the system.
Adebule, who now oversees the state Ministry of Education, made the call at an inaugural meeting with management and key stakeholders in the education sector. She added that the need to embark on the review of school curriculum was also informed by the need to align the content of the curriculum with the immediate and future needs of the state.
According to her, the review of the curriculum is crucial as the content of education curricula actually determines the quality of the manpower that will eventually be produced from such action. She said: “I want to meet with private school owners in the state.
I believe that there must be a review of the standards used to measure them and any private school that is not ready to abide by set standards will be shown the way out.”
Adebule stressed the importance of instituting competitions for teachers in different subject areas especially core subjects like Mathematics and English among others.
It is also said that the state is currently considering the use of ‘Opon-Imo’, a tablet which was adopted in Osun state to improve the standard of education.
