PRESIDENT TINUBU ESTABLISHES NATIONAL EDUCATION DATA SYSTEM AND APPROVES SKILL DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL LEVELS OF EDUCATION, TEACHERS' TRAINING AND SUPPORT NATIONWIDE
President Bola Tinubu has approved system-wide policies to comprehensively overhaul the education sector to improve learning and skill development, increase enrolment, and ensure the academic security of the nation's children.
The approved policies are captured as DOTS, an acronym representing: Data Repository, Out-of-School Children Education, Teacher Training & Development, and Skill Development & Acquisition.
(1) Data Repository
Currently, there is a paucity of coordinated, verifiable, and authentic data on all aspects of the education sector in Nigeria, which is critical for planning. Consequently, the President has approved the conduct of an extensive census of the following:
(a) All schools in Nigeria from primary to tertiary level, their conditions and live-in facilities, proximity to one another, educational infrastructure, etc.
(b) All teachers in Nigeria, their qualifications, training support received, etc.
(c) All pupils and students in primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions, gender, exam grades, etc.
This information will guide federal and state interventions for teachers' training and development as well as overall support. It will also provide data on gender ratio (boys and girls), their specific learning needs, and who is in school or who has dropped out based on daily monitoring with year-by-year reporting.
There will be a dedicated portal/dashboard in the Federal Ministry of Education, offices of state governors, and local government chairpersons, which will host and disseminate this information for the federal government, states, and local governments to monitor in real time.
This new data tracking architecture will enable the government to track the progress of students, thus having a clear data-driven mechanism for interventions, especially concerning out-of-school children, girls, and those with specific learning disabilities, among others.
(2) Out-of-school children’s education and training
The Federal Ministry of Education is already implementing the government’s policy through the activities of four of its agencies. Already, there are about two million beneficiaries. The system-wide policy will further enhance the education and training of the nation’s out-of-school children.
(3) Teachers’ development and support
Under this programme, the Federal Ministry of Education will support and train teachers in digital skills to facilitate the use of technology in classrooms. This is expected to bring technology and digitization to teachers and learners at all levels of education.
(4) Skill development and acquisition for all levels
In his determined effort to enhance skill diversity in the education sector in order to effectively equip Nigerian students with the requisite skills, knowledge, and values to become functional and productive members of society, the President has also approved the National Skills Framework. The framework is designed to provide the appropriate skills for each level of education that will result in the empowering of generations of Nigerians with the required aptitude for the evolving needs of the global economy of the 21st century.
This framework is expected to address skill-gaps, quality of education, and unemployment concerns as students will acquire certain skill sets, in addition to general knowledge.
It is expected that once fully implemented, these programmes will succeed in resetting learning and connecting the ‘DOTS’ for significant improvement of the overall education system in Nigeria, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

“…without the fundamentals in place, it is impossible for an enabling environment where the private sector thrives, jobs are created, and opportunity is spread across the country. It is how we ensure children can go to school without fear.
For any who may have doubted our direction, it should now be clear. There will be no more ransoms paid to kidnappers, nor toward those policies which have trapped our people economically. Nigerians, and their economy, will be liberated.”
Earlier this week, I penned an op-ed in Newsweek titled “Ten Years Since Chibok - Nigeria Will No Longer Pay The Price.”

When you tell the Serving Governors abusing their executive powers to thread with caution,because there’s a different life after power,many of them will ignore you,subsumed by the hubris that they are superhuman.
Nothing kills your parents faster than to train you up to the point where you are successful, only for you to succeed and be ashamed to associate with them because they are local people. No matter how clean you look now, it is their dirty hands that did it! If they can’t speak good English, at least they paid good money so you can speak it. If they don’t dress well, remember that it is because they spent their life savings so you can be addressed well. Never be ashamed of your parents. Especially when they are proud of you!

Can we also pray “ Father, make me a destiny helper this year.” Instead of the usual “send me a destiny helper” ?? 🤷♂️ And this has nothing to do with being rich or poor. Naaman’s maid was a destiny helper. The link to the prophet that facilitated Naaman’s healing. You are BLESSED.
Before you spend four years studying a course at a university, do a Cost Benefit Analysis. Take a course like philosophy. If you study philosophy for four years and you graduate, of what benefit are you to yourself and society? With Google, anyone can understand any aspect of philosophy in ten minutes or less. Then you start saying, 'I don't have a job four years after graduating. The government is useless.' No. It is not the government that is useless. You, right now, I challenge you to name five places you can work and add value with your philosophy, sociology, library science, and other such liberal chewing gum degrees.
Be realistic. Spend half the cost and time to learn nursing, SEO optimising, web designing, coding, programming, machine learning, cloud computing, blockchain, and AI skills. That is a more successful outcome against money spent. Don't study a course that lost relevance in the eighties and then blame the government. Blame yourself. AI, robots and automation are rendering even valuable degrees like accounting, HR management and creative writing close to obsolete, and you are still applying to study sociology to become one out of fifty thousand sociology graduates chasing non-existing jobs.
Fact-check me. Fortune 500 companies in the US are dropping degree requirements in place of skills. Please study a course that is up to tomorrow, not one that belongs in a museum.
Yes, I know what you just read is annoying. But am I lying?

In approaching the subject of wealth and riches, the proper foundation is laid by understanding the role of the realm of the spirit. Most people experience highs and lows financially, because their wealth is solely economic, lacking spiritual roots.
If you do not give and give consistently, God will not hate you, however, you will assuredly be poor, because the ordinances of God do not bend to your desires.
One of the reasons why God tells Believers to give, is to conquer idolatory. Your refusal to give, is a sign that you believe the item you can't let go of, is above God in your life.
Giving is living, and a covenant responsibility for all Believers. Through giving, the prayers of people who you give to, can build an immunity against the waster and the devourer in your life.

To wrap up today’s visitation, I visited the Good People of Agbado Community.
I am certain that their lives will never remain the same again, because My Father; The Everlasting Father visited them today.
I used the opportunity to pray for them that, whether they believe it or not, God is going to do something for them before the new year so that their families will never know poverty again in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
