We’re migrating schools to digital teaching method – UBEC boss

The Executive Secretary of the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), Hameed Bobboyi, has said the commission is working to migrate schools across the country from analogue to digital methods of teaching.

Bobboyi made this known at the flag-off ceremony of capacity-building training for UBE smart school teachers on attitudinal change in teaching and learning held in Kano.

He said, “This training of teachers coming from three of our smart schools within the northwest region is to train them on attitudinal change, particularly as they are shifting from the usual analogue teaching that we have in our conventional classrooms to the digital platforms that the smart schools represent.

“The smart schools’ program has been an integral part of UBEC and it has been designed to ensure that the new educational technologies that are now available have been made available also to our children here in Nigeria, particularly at the basic education level.”
