Reiwa's focus on education for empowerment is driven by
the supreme importance of educating all Nigerians for
sustainable, self-reliant and equitable development in the twenty-first century.
There are few or no books in the majority of rural
public schools. So rote learning, inimical to
self-reliant development and creative thinking, often
prevails. Most rural schools lack knowledge of computers
and, importantly, the Internet. The impoverished
majority is excluded from
the educational and livelihood benefits of the world
wide web's vast information.
The Nigerian government is putting in place important
reforms.
REIWA's participatory and highly interactive e-learning
strategies, integrating ICTs in the core school curriculum as well
as in literacy instruction, offer a low cost way forward that
invests in human capacity development through training
teachers, children, women and youth in interactive
e-learning. May the result be quality education,
more productive livelihoods, economic growth and
empowerment of marginalised communities.
Crossing the digital divide, ICTs for All, is the way
forward!
