Digital Learning For 1000 Public School Students

At CKF we have spent the start of 2021 reviewing our partnership agreements with the State Education Ministry. The Ministry is an important partner in designing appropriate programming, facilitating access to students and teachers for broad reach and ensuring competent resourcing for virtual tutoring programs.  Local school systems are constantly reviewing and re-adapting the form and structure of schooling to current COVID-19 realities so this important early programming activity has also been a casualty of COVID-19 time planning.    

An important and exciting component of our planned programming for Digital Learning for 1000 Students in Nigeria is inclusion of a teacher capacity building component. This program element will explore some of the available tools and platforms for digital learning and equip public school teachers for safe student engagement, optimal classroom management and effective instruction.The 3-part webinar is scheduled to hold once quarterly and targets reaching four hundred teachers in the state and around the nation.

Another program addition we are excited about is a virtual life skills and leadership (SLL) workshop specifically designed for girls with the goal of equipping and empowering them with the skills and confidence to navigate life  successfully, make a positive contribution to the community and ultimately help contribute to positive  life outcomes.  Although launched in 2018, the in-person SLL workshops will now be adapted for virtual delivery in the 2020/2021 school year. Sessions will take the form of interactive workshops via Zoom and will be delivered during the 3rd-term (summer) holiday. SLL workshop modules will cover sessions on self-awareness, self-esteem,  effective communication, goal setting, leadership, and values and ethics.
