EdTech in Nigeria: A Rapid Scan

SDGs Impacted

EdTech Hub country scans explore factors that enable and hinder the use of technology in education. These factors include the policy or vision for EdTech, institutional capacity, private-sector partnerships, and the digital infrastructure. This report is based primarily on desk research, with quality assurance provided by a country expert. This document reviews the advancements from the National Policy on Information and Communication Technologies in Education from Nigeria which was launched in 2010. The policy is linked directly to several national instruments like the national vision, the national policy on education, the national information technology education framework, and the ministerial strategic plan.

Impact / Outcome
Among the efforts of Nigeria to improve ICT in education we can highlight Digistem. This is a project that aims at increasing the digital literacy skills of young people in primary and secondary schools through focused STEM and digital activities. It has reached 10,000+ young people between 2017–2019.
