A conference is being held in Lagos, Nigeria on September 18th, 2024 to discuss how the country’s education system can be improved. The goal is for Nigerian schools to meet international standards.
A Leader in Education to Give Keynote Speech
Sidi Osho, a well-respected figure in Nigerian education, will be the keynote speaker. Osho is the former leader of Afe Babalola University. The conference theme is “Private Initiatives and the Nigerian Education Sector: Gains, Shortfall and Way Forward.”
Focus on the Role of Private Schools
The conference will look at the role private schools play in Nigeria’s education system. There will be discussions about the strengths and weaknesses of private schools, and how they can work better with public schools.
Other Speakers to Address Challenges
Several other speakers will also be at the conference. They will talk about important issues in Nigerian education, such as:
- How to spend education money more effectively
- How to reduce corruption in schools
- How to make sure graduates have the skills they need to get jobs
Why is this Conference Important?
The conference organizers believe that Nigeria’s education system needs serious improvement. They say that too many graduates are unemployed because their schools haven’t prepared them well for the job market.
The organizers also worry that there is too much corruption in Nigerian schools. They believe that this is hurting the quality of education.
What Can Be Done?
The conference hopes to come up with ideas for how to improve Nigeria’s education system. Some possible solutions include:
1. The government giving more support to private schools
2. Better training for teachers
3. More focus on teaching practical skills
Working Together for a Better Future
