Re-engineering Edtech Systems in Nigeria basic Education

    Description
    Description
    The use of ICT and technological pedagogies towards competence and innovation focused and infused education is pivotal in a knowledge economy and mandatory for sustainable development. Hitherto, we've been educating children on theories only, this mismatched relationship of theoretical solutions to real-live problems continues, there is need for disruptive techniques to overturn this idea of just schooling to get certificates after graduation to schooling for competence and innovative ideas to curate jobs creation and adept hands that can do them.
    Expected Impact

    The HIKEY SciEngineering Resource Centre is a hands-on education in technology facility that will be available for students, entrepreneurs, innovators, incubators and others. The Instructional Technology Resource Centre will support and nurture creativity, realism, ideas, innovations and students who wish to integrate technology into their teachings, as well as entrepreneurial thought process for junior and high school students to encourage critical thinking and creativity. Also, to enhance and give a new teaching and learning experience for the students and educators.The scope entails: <br />
    1. Organise technical projects and programmes including holiday code schools <br />
    2. Design and build a physical ICT infrastructure and associated technical systems in the Administrative Department of the proposed school.<br />
    3. Train NYSC Corps members from the Orientation camp to be Facilitators of the schools throughout their service period.<br />
    4. The establishment of the status and opportunities for use of ICT innovations in teaching, research, outreach and networking and to establish the status and opportunities for institutional ICT policy strengthening.<br />

    Innovative ICT System has caused a paradigm shift introducing the age of network intelligence, young entrepreneurship, reinventing businesses, governments, and institutions leading to prospects such as: job creation, flexibility, network organization, vertical/horizontal integration, innovative entrepreneurship, organizational learning, speed up in service delivery, and coordinated network building - all of which are supported by Embedded Knowledge. This paper methodology talks briefly on HIKEY 5 agendas on Practical ICT solutions (repair hub, networking and software), Transcription, Embedded Systems, Reticulation and I.T outsourcing hub.<br />
    On Embedded, Our goal here is to train students to be project and solution oriented while looking inward to the simple things around our world with the spectacles of their knowledge of STEM. We have designed and realized projects that include:<br />
    On Environment, Current estimates are that ICT waste contributes at least 41% of the 1 million tonnes of electronic waste generated, there are many different green issues that relate to it including: Reuse and Repair of ICT Equipment, Safe Disposal and Recycling of ICT Equipment - Computers and many more.<br />
    On Transcribing: Transcription (the production of intelligible textual or written versions of audios and videos that range from lectures, speeches, seminars/workshops, meetings, interviews, market researches/surveys, conferences, podcasts, webcasts, webinars and so on) is a need requiring urgent fulfilment by those that have known thehighly accessible and fast querying roles that textual records play in the documentation process, which is vital to all fields of human endeavour.<br />
