Pan-kyu informed that the project has received generous support from the Korean government, with a substantial grant of $10.4 million to enhance Nigeria’s basic education through smart technologies.

According to him, “The digital content, which is targeted at Primary 4-6 pupils and Junior Secondary School (JSS) 1 students, focuses on mathematics and science subjects to help improve teaching and learning outcomes in the classrooms and increase pupils’/students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects.

“The educational digital contents are expected to be disseminated across the 37 smart schools and other public schools in Nigeria.

“I remember we were at the Korean Embassy 3 years ago when we signed the MOU for the Smart Education Project in Nigeria with the Korean government. Since then, we have worked closely with the Korean experts in the implementation of the smart education project, and so far, we have achieved a lot together in improving basic education in Nigeria”

“Series of capacity building was provided to teachers and school principals on how to record, edit and develop digital contents for classroom teaching using the CDS installed in their schools”.
