EDUCATION AND COVID-19 IN NIGERIA: THE TRANSFORMATIONAL LENS THROUGH APPROPRIATE E-LEARNING
Prior
to the outbreak of COVID-19 at global stage, education in Nigeria at all levels
faced various challenges like poor infrastructure, poor remuneration,
insufficient funds, shortage of teaching staff and host of others that hamper
the advancement of our education system. It is imperative to
note therefore that this crisis of COVID-19 has provided unique opportunities
as well as turning point for our educational system, particularly restructuring
and rebuilding resilience around our educational system in Nigeria. Higher
education has to be re-evaluated in today's digitally dominant world,
particularly in Nigeria. The advantage of this is that learning will continue
at public higher education institutions even in the face of environmental
obstacles like the Corona Virus outbreak. The educational sector was not exempt
from the global lockdown that took place when the World Health Organisation
proclaimed COVID-19 a pandemic in order to stop its spread. The need for an
immediate reform of the conventional educational methods to teaching and
learning in the educational sector became clear at that point. In order to
implement digital transformation in the context of education in the public
sector in Nigeria, e-learning has become the main topic of discussion in this
article. Higher education institutions in Nigeria face significant obstacles to
implementing mobile learning, including inadequate technological
infrastructure, a lack of access to contemporary mobile devices, a lack of
mobile learning pedagogical expertise among teachers, poor attitudes among
students and teachers, and incompatibility of mobile devices with university
online management systems. Therefore, the use of digital technology solutions,
especially in public higher education institutions of learning, is necessary
for sustainable education in Nigeria. The transformational lens of COVID-19 therefore
is the need to embrace more technology into the teaching and learning
processes.
