Technology, a Strong Enabler for Nigerian Education, All Africa
With the increasing penetration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the country, Nigerian students from primary school through to University and beyond could find their learning environments improving dramatically, thanks to ICT. That's according to Kayode Jegede, the Territory Manager for Cisco Systems in Nigeria, who believes that technology is coming into its own and is having a positive impact on the education of Nigeria's next vocational generation. "In the past, the quality and breadth of someone's education was determined by their geographic location and daily schedule. Today, thanks to the Internet, CD-ROMs, and other electronic media, those limitations are falling away. PCs are becoming as common in classrooms and people are seeing their education opportunities expand," he points out.
