EDU 1.01 // PLAN ACTIONS: DEVELOPMENT OF THREE MONTH CERTIFIED “TRAIN THE TRAINERS” PROGRAMME ON THE BASIC PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF ICT AND FOR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS TO BECOME ICT LITERATEPlan-Action Implementation Time-Line

Aug 2008 – Jan 2010

Plan Action Description •The strength of teaching and non-teaching staff in Nigerian schools is very low. Although nearly all Nigerian tertiary institutions of learning run degree and diploma courses, the students enrolments and the number of graduates are considerably low compared to the demands in both the public and private sectors of Nigerian economy.•Many ICT projects do fail because of the poor participation and involvement of the staff on ground and users’ departments in their development, operation and maintenance. The plan action aims at providing a vehicle for the awareness, appreciation and use of ICT by the teaching and non teaching staff of Nigerian schools.

Pre-Requisite Plan Actions / Programmes

•This plan has no specific pre-requisite plan actions or programmes

Time Bound Measurable Targets •Development of Three Month Certificed “Train the Trainers” programme on the basic principles and practice of ICT by June 2008•Commissioning of selected training centers for the three month “Train the Trainers” programme by July 2008.•Implementation of the programme for critical mass of school teachers in phases beginning from October 2008.

AN ICT-ENABLED VISION 20-2020

4545

VISION 20-2020VISION 20-2020• The World Bank had projected in 2008 that information

technology would be responsible on a scale of 70/30, for determining real growth in most countries from 2015 and that by 2020, the most critical factor that would separate developed economies from non-developed ones would be hinged on whether a country would be an ICT have or ICT have-not country.

• ICT is one of the best performing sectors in the World Bank’s portfolio, both in terms of returns and development impact.

• There are several ways in which the provision of ICTs can directly impact on improving the state of ALL the indicative parameters for Vision 20-2020.

MAKING IT HAPPENMAKING IT HAPPEN Institutionalization of the ICT4D Initiative and provision of

appropriate political sponsorship and leadership

Direct Link between ICT4D and National Social/Economic Programmes – Vision 20-2020 and 7-Point Agenda and better coordination of programmes and projects.

Focus on Sectors that will help: (i) Create job opportunities for Nigerians; (ii) Build Indigenous Production Capacity e.g. software development , local assembly and manufacturing;

Design and implement initiatives that will drive up demand – technology adoption programs, government policies and directives that force demand for ICT related products and Services

5757

MAKING IT HAPPENMAKING IT HAPPEN

Strengthen capacity of indigenous firms to fully participate in emerging business opportunities: capital and financial services at favourable terms, promotion of local firms within the African economic regions, etc.

Appropriate Legal Framework – to protect Intellectual Property, Promote digital access and adoption; Digital Signature

Full Scale Implementation of Complimentary Programs – Unique Identification of citizens and residents; Consumer Credit and Outsourcing Programs

CONCLUSION

5959

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

Vision 20-2020 is attainable BUT there has to be a clear understanding of the required input such as investments to develop the real sector, strengthening the production capacity and planning to strengthen the service sector

A double digit GDP growth is desired minimum level of growth to achieve the ‘numerical’ Vision 20-2020

Care must be taken to achieve a theoretical and jobless Vision 20-2020

ICT stands to play a critical role in driving the planned socio-economic agenda but must be built into the programmes and not just an ‘after thought’

Our competitors are NOT sleeping: we need to be running a lot faster than those we are planning to displace!
