21st Century skills in Nigerian public schools

The Notable, Outstanding, Bold, Leaders Extraordinaire (NOBLE) club continues to make efforts to achieve its goal of creating a safe space for students in public primary schools by providing them with access to non-classroom learning, exposing them to the 21st century soft skills required to thrive. We kicked off the 2024 second learning phase as schools opened in May with a puzzles and bonding session.

The children across our three (3) Learning Resource Centres in the three different public primary schools in Abuja where we hold the Noble Club sessions for primary 6 pupils were paired into groups and each group was given an educational puzzle ranging from a puzzle of the world map to one about animals. They were tasked with completing the puzzle within a set time limit, improving their ability to work effectively in a team and their problem-solving skill.

After all teams had put together their puzzles, our LRC facilitators asked the children to check out other teams and view their puzzles, then asked and answered questions related to the puzzle contents. The session ended with the children having learned new things while having fun putting the puzzles together.

Every session of the NOBLE club takes our beneficiaries one step closer to acquiring the necessary 21st-century skills they need to thrive and with your support, we know we can continue to make a difference in the lives of the children we serve.

“Reading is the gateway that makes all other learning possible.” Barack Obama 

The Notable, Outstanding, Bold, Leaders Extraordinaire (NOBLE) club, in its quest to help develop exemplary citizens among public primary school children by providing access to 21st-century soft skills, kicked off its 2024 learning phase with a reading session. 

Each child across our Learning Resource Centres in three different public primary schools where we hold the Noble Club sessions for primary 6 pupils was asked to simply read a book of their choice from our library for the day, improving their reading skills, and encouraging their creative thinking and storytelling.

Through role-plays and presentations, the children learnt decision-making, problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication. The sessions were facilitated by guest speakers in all the Learning Resource Centers. So far this year, 167 children have joined the Noble Club. With our continued commitment to ensuring every underserved child can acquire 21st-century skills and your support, we know we can continue to make a difference in the lives of the children we serve.
