United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) has begun the training of teachers in the integration of Nigerian Learning Passport (NLP) and blended learning techniques across the country with 10,000 Digital Educational Materials
Already in Niger State, 500 teachers from three local government areas of Munya, Shiroro and Suleja have undergone training in the renewed effort to strengthen digital education and enhance classroom delivery through NLP.
The education officer at the UNICEF Kaduna Field Office, Mr. Bala Dada, explained that the initiative was part of UNICEF’s broader effort to ensure learning continuity despite security challenges in some areas.
He disclosed that the 500 trained teachers from Niger State were expected to reach about 40,000 students, thereby expanding access to quality education across the state.
Dada said the Nigerian Learning Passport, a digital learning platform featuring over 10,000 educational materials aligned with the national curriculum, offers teachers and learners easy access to quality instructional resources.
The UNICEF education officer reiterated that the programme aimed to empower teachers with 21st-century teaching skills and promote blended learning as a sustainable model for delivering quality education.
