The federal government has moved to establish a centralised and harmonised databank with a unified platform to consolidate all critical education data in Nigeria.

In this regard, the government has inaugurated a 25-man implementation committee for the education data initiative.

The Nigerian Education Digitalisation Initiative (NEDI) Implementation team was inaugurated in Abuja yesterday by the minister of education, Dr Maruf Tunji Alausa.

It is headed by the education minister, Alausa, with Mr Abubakar Isah, the ministry’s Data and Digitalisation Unit (DDU), as pro coordinator, alongside 23 other members.

The minister said the Nigerian Education Data Initiative is the government’s bold response to longstanding challenges in the sector.

He said the databank would not merely house information but serve as the foundation for evidence-based decision-making and policy development, enabling them to deliver quality education that meets the aspirations of every Nigerian child.

“For too long, our education system has been hindered by the absence of a unified and comprehensive data framework. It has been fragmented and inconsistent, with incomplete data across various institutions, agencies, and states.

“This has also impeded our ability to make informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and accurately measure progress. Today, we are saying unequivocally: this must change.”

Alausa added that the databank will consolidate records from primary schools to tertiary institutions, leveraging the National Identity Number (NIN) as a unique identifier for every student, saying that the framework will enable them to track, in real-time, the educational journey of every Nigerian child, ensuring no one is left behind.

He said the key focus areas will encompass a wide range of data categories that reflect the realities and complexities of our education system, including school locations and infrastructure, student information, parental data, teachers and educators, examination and assessment records, and university and tertiary education data.

 

“I urge you to approach this assignment with the utmost dedication, professionalism, and a sense of purpose. The future of Nigeria’s education system depends on your ability to deliver on this mandate.

 

“On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education, I assure you of our unwavering commitment to this initiative. We will provide the necessary resources and institutional support to ensure that NEDI succeeds in transforming our education system,” the minister added.
