The effect of mobile phone on students that were already taught the concept of educational technology and mobile learning enhances continuous learning.

This aspect of learning is the key to self improvement even after graduation from school. The current educational systems in africa still follow the industrial era process.

We need to understand that most young learners are digital natives while most teachers are digital migrants.
The current millennials adapt and access everything easily via their mobile devices.

The new generation of learners learn more on their mobile device than in class. Don't get us wrong, a mobile device cannot replace a professor but the professor can't provide an instant and up-to-date educational response to students questions.

Mobile phones give access to information at the speed of light. Provides various source of knowledge to choose from.

The future of learning and education will deeply rely on mobile learning and edtech scyned together.

The state of moral decadence is highly profitable and accepted in a society where our leaders, bosses, brand ambassadors etc lack understanding of the essence and value of education in a nation.

Please can any one name an educational show or program where students can make up to 45million naira in few days?

Trust me, it practically doesn't exist in Nigeria.

Now don't get me wrong, if this show one day come into existence in Nigeria. That is when you will know Nigerians have the smartest intellects in the world.

The current 21st generation youth or millennials in this era are very smart and really ready to contribute to nation building but those at the head of power just want to continue controlling and redirecting their mind to TV programs like this.

Another example look at the sponsors of this program. They could have invested in education even at the tertiary level. The impact they would have, will be enormously felt even if it was in a state.

Well we are in Nigeria.

I hope the new generation of leaders are prepared to help build our nation. Because if they don't our unborn child are in for it.

By reading this post now we believe and understand great mind think alike.

Because it is very rare to find individuals who contribute with informative and intellectual post on this forum at times.

And even if they did as you have been doing with your other posts. They never reach front-page.

You are definitely a rare gem.

Have a great day.

The striking Non-Teaching Staff of the Nigerian Universities has threatened to disrupt the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) set to hold from March 9.


Mr Samson Ugwoke, Chairman, Joint Action Committee (JAC), Non-Teaching Staff of the Nigerian Universities, made the threat at a meeting of the National JAC with the Principal Branch Officers on Wednesday in Abuja.



Well if this information is true. Then this shows we have the wrong individuals at the wrong positions.
The question is what will they gain by disrupting the next generation future.

We have always stated that when the essence and value of education is not known in a Nation, all that is left is failures in aspects of the nation's building.

We hope that the Non-Teaching Staff of the Nigerian Universities led by example through the demonstration of intellectual understanding and maturity. In as much as we understand their personal needs are not being met.

They should focus and redirect their anger and complain to the system of government their generation built not to the 21st generation or millennial students.

With respect from the future of education in Nigeria.

Thank you for your post. We believe this is educational to an extent however certain believes need to be corrected.

You Didn't Plan Your reading

This is the best point you made. But planning to read is not learning. Learning is a continuous state. That is if students had being taught the real concept and essence of learning which is continuous knowledge acquisition and practice. They won't need to plan their reading.

Inability To make past questions your partner

This is the worst advice you can give students. I understand you might have tried that and it worked for you. Due to the educational system of Nigeria.

This is a cram to pass method which end up still not effective. In Nigeria, students never understand the essence of education or learning due to the regurgitating factor being forced on them by their professors.

This why, after graduation from most Nigerian universities, students hardly remember anything apart from course titles and the stress of regurgitation.

We need to teach students to learn and not regurgitate to pass.


No study partner
Truly, study partners are great. Sincerely do they really help. Well the only partners students need in Nigeria is access to quality educational technology and materials which can enable them to learn more and explore their horizons.

It is a pity this is really missing in our system. Do you all think Sweden, Finland, Japan , England etc all arrived at their innovative technological advances without access to educational technology and materials. We are in the 21st century and innovative approach through technology is the way forward. This can lead to all forms of learning such as self learning, personalized learning, adaptive learning, micro learning, flipped classroom, etc.

Lack of target

This is also a wrong mind set. Education or exam is not a marketing or business where target is extremely important.

They Depend on Cheating

That is due to the exam body who sell information out to make money.

Cheating is bad. But I don't believe cheating will make you pass or impact knowledge into anyone.

Haven't you heard or taken exams where you are allowed to bring all devices, books and past questions (like you said above), and still students end up failing.
This is because, exam are to test your knowledge and learning capabilities. Not for regurgitation processing.

With all due respect to the OP or Mod. These are the few things we observed. Hope to read more from you.

Thanks and have a wonderful day ahead.

Quick quotes:
“Education is evolving due to the impact of the Internet. We cannot teach our students in the same manner in which we were taught. Change is necessary to engage students, not in the curriculum we are responsible for teaching, but in school. Period.” – April Chamberlain

“We need to embrace technology to make learning more engaging. Because when students are engaged and they are interested, that's where learning takes place.”

“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” - David Warlick

FAE (Foundation for Adequate Education) is an Ed-tech and Edutainment, Non-Governmental Organisation based in Nigeria, Africa. The main purpose of FAE is to provide adequate learning materials (virtual and physical) and infrastructure strictly to institutions in Africa. FoundationFAE creates both public and media awareness of the current state of education in institutions in Africa.

FoundationFAE. FAE advocates for the integration of M-Learning and E-learning in all institutions in Africa.

FoundationFAE strongly believes that no knowledge or education can be acquired without basic learning materials and infrastructure in public institutions. Every institution needs a conducive learning environment with access to basic learning materials (both virtual and physical), in order for knowledge to be transferred to its students. FoundationFAE supports and provides these basic materials to public institutions in both major and rural areas. This makes learning more interactive and attractive for students.

Mission:
FAE is an active foundation with the commitment to support and provide adequate learning materials and infrastructure to all institutions in Africa.

Goals:
To improve the standard of education by providing adequate learning materials and infrastructure to make learning more conducive and interactive for students.

What we stand for:
Knowledge is power they say. Without adequate education in our public institutions, the future of our next leaders becomes uncertain. For this reason, we are mandated to fight for standard and quality education in Africa. In like manner, we believe that curriculum content should be substantial and concrete. FoundationFAE understands that learning conditions in institutions across Africa could be better. Physical and health education is the key to upbringing.

Lest we forget that simple etiquette, manners, and attitudes of our children are acquired from these institutions. These institutions are meant to enlighten and guide our students to choose the right path, as they are the leaders of tomorrow. We strongly believe only adequate learning materials and infrastructure can enhance this.

We believe every individual can help support and contribute to the improvement of our educational system in Africa.

Why Us:
FoundationFAE believes in personal and joint community development over donations. Our cause stands for the improvement and development of education in Africa via Ed-tech and Mobile learning. FoundationFAE believes that together we can make the difference in Africa. We believe individual and communal efforts at various public institutions in different communities across Africa will help create a smoother path for our next generation.

Our Involvements
Not only do we support and provide adequate learning infrastructures. FoundationFAE believes engaging the next generation with a free learning platform helps improve the standards and quality of education.

Students can access educational resources and materials on their mobile devices or tablet.

We provide fun simulation programs, both web-based and apps for students. FoundationFAE knows that edutainment also helps improve learning for students of all ages from kindergartens, youth, adolescent, undergraduate or graduates.

FoundationFAE also believes in the concept of Edutainment.

An old proverb claims that ‘all work (study) and no play makes Jack a dull boy’, but at FoundationFAE we believe that when study and play are synchronized, this makes Jack a smart boy. In addition, learning becomes fun and interactive for students when it comes in form of entertainment. FoundationFAE provides information and gives access to edutainment materials that can help facilitate learning for students.
FoundationFAE also promotes and organize edutainment shows for public institutions students to encourage and attract them to stay in school. We inform students that learning does not only take place in school but also at home either via FoundationFAE learning platforms or other resourceful educational sites. Personal learning or self-learning is the easiest way for students to gain knowledge and experience.
