The federal government has launched an e-curriculum portal to help teachers and students in primary, junior and senior secondary schools in the country.
The Minister of State for Education, Mr Nyesom Wike, who launched the portal yesterday in Abuja, revealed that it was developed by the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) and SIDMACH Technologies Nigeria Limited to address the shortage of the national curricula in schools.
“The NERDC e-curriculum portal is a web-based, efficient and effective curriculum management solution for primary and secondary schools,” he said. “This solution will provide digital access to school curricula, provision of sample teaching resources for teachers to prepare lesson notes, provision of sample learning materials for the learners.”
“The portal will provide the teachers across Nigeria to compare notes learn new methods of teaching, build capacity through collaborative teaching resources provided on the portal from time to time,” he added.
He called on stakeholders in the curriculum implementation in both government and private educational institutions to support the project and continue to strengthen the quality of the education sector.
