The Universal Basic Education Commission, UBEC, has signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding, MoU with the Japan International Cooperation Agency, JICA, to strengthen Science, Technology, Mathematics, and Pre-Vocational Education through Smart Education in selected states across Nigeria.
The partnership, which covers Benue, Nasarawa, and the FCT, aims to enhance teaching and learning through digital innovation and practical skills development at the basic education level.
The Chief Representative of JICA Nigeria Office, Ishigame Keiji, expresses Japan’s commitment to supporting Nigeria’s education reform efforts, noting that the Smart Education Project aligns with Japan’s global initiative to promote inclusive and equitable quality education.
The Smart Education project is expected to run from 2025 to 2030, with pilot implementation in selected schools across Benue, Nasarawa, and the FCT before possible scale-up to other parts of the country.
