Education Banishes Ignorance -Don
A don in the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies, Rivers State University, Nkpolu Oroworukwu, Port Harcourt, Prof Barigbon Nsereka, has stated that education banishes ignorance from society as well as shapes behaviour.
Prof Nsereka, stated this while delivering his keynote speech at an Educatial Stakeholders’ Engagement Event with the theme: The Education Revolution Success” organised by Team Educational: A Software- As-A-Service Ecosystem Platfom, last Friday in Port Harcourt.
He noted that inspite of the dwindling fortunes in book reading among Nigerians, some book writers are not deterred from writing books.
He thus recommended that efforts should be made in bringing back the book reading culture among children, adding that it is the only way to have a sane and developed society for all to co-exist in love, happiness and unity.
The Prof also recommended that the educational curriculum be reviewed so as to contain the right content to meet up with the evolving education demands.
“It is important that Nigerian educational curriculum be reviewed to specifically incorporate the right contents that would not only adequately produce skilled individuals for the workforce, but furnish them with critical abilities that would prove useful to the entire nation when applied.”
He stressed that the educational revolution has brought about new approaches to pedagogy, such as student-centred learning as well as project-based learning.
The Prof emphasised that educational revolution was what Educatial offers, as such, should be embraced by lovers of education.
“The place of educatial in revolution of education cannot be overemphasized as educatial has taken the initiative of organising events where the academia and the industry can sit and chat about this important global development as well as how it affects the immediate society.
“The good news is that at the end of this brainstorming session, we would have gathered enough information and data to work with in our quest to revolutionalise education,” the don added.
He concluded that the education system in Nigeria was in need of an urgent rescue, noting that the level of development in Nigeria has come mainly through education, thus charging everyone to play their role since digital technology is unshakably taking its place in the society.
