Science, Maths Teaching In Indigenous Languages To Begin Soon –FG by mrkunlex(m): 12:02pm On Mar 09, 2018
Peter Dada, Akure
The Federal Government has said that the teaching of science subjects and mathematics in indigenous languages in primary and secondary schools across the country would commence soon.
Director-General of the National Centre for Technology Management, Prof. Okechukwu Ukwuoma, stated this during a retreat organised for researchers in Akure, capital of Ondo State.
Ukwuoma, who is a member of a committee set up to supervise the project, also disclosed that experts were contracted to translate science and mathematics terminologies to the various indigenous languages spoken in the country.
He said, “Last year, the Minister of Science and Technology and the Minister of Education inaugurated a committee to teach science and mathematics in indigenous languages. The major issue in that regard is the translation of terminologies to the languages for which we have consulted experts in different languages in the country.
The don, who commended the Federal government on the idea, expressed optimism in the success of the project. He also noted that many textbooks had already been translated to some Nigerian languages through the efforts of the committee.
The NACETEM boss stressed the need for researchers to contribute toward the development of science and technology in the country. He lamented the lack of good research works in the country, blaming it on the lust for quick and easy money amongst the people.
“All over the world everything about science and technology is always hard to sell because you need to convince people. Nigerians are good researchers, but they lack something.
“Many businessmen who are supposed ensure the commercialisation of research inventions prefer to buy fake ones outside the country and come back to make quick money,” he said.
However, Ukwuoma disclosed that the Federal Government had established a National Research and Innovation Fund, which would be accessed by entrepreneurs or innovators interested in developing science and technology inventions
The don said, “Information is what people need.
When people lack information, they find it very difficult to find solution to some problems. So we need really to get some information about what is going on.”

Work places will now have to use politics to chose language of communication.

Not you again?

Oya teach me surds, algebraic expression, probability with yoruba i'm all ears


Teach me atomic physics in igbo

or Organic chemistry in Yoruba


Are there terms for alkanes, alkene, alkynes, sets, in our local dialect?


We should move forward and not backward for God's sakes. If it's not enough to make fulani invaders kill people anyhow, this administration wants to take this country back to the stone ages. Phew, even Modern day Chinese many are shying from theirnative language.

All these sentimental policies will not work. They want to use the kids of the poor for an expensive experiment again while their own kids are busy learning in foreign lands under those who speak best of English. Where is opon imo of Aregbesola of Osun now? Our education was once very good and sound. Corruption invade our Nation. Snakes swallowed billions and the schools decayed.

There are millions of hectares of arable land, instead of them to grant loans so young enterpreneurs can go into food production, they are going back to pre-independence day era. Buhari doesn't have the grace to be a leader, Jesus. Spits on the APC flag, bunch of clowns

Don't mind them, they are confused fellows.
Courses that even the teachers have not been able to master in English, they want to start teaching in indigenous languages.

Learning is a gradual process... you know what you learn, you were not born with knowledge, you seek for it.
