6 STEPS NEEDED INORDER TO MAKE NIGERIAN CHILDREN DIGITALLY UPRIGHT
1. Integrate Tech Education into the Curriculum
- Revise school syllabi to include coding, robotics, digital literacy, and basic computer science from primary school.
- Start with simple tools like Scratch, then gradually introduce languages like Python or web development basics.

3. Provide Access to Digital Tools
- Equip schools with computers, internet access, and educational software—especially in rural and underserved areas.
- Public-private partnerships can help sponsor laptops, solar-powered digital labs, or mobile learning buses.
4. Promote Tech Clubs and Extracurriculars
- Encourage coding clubs, robotics teams, hackathons, and STEM competitions in schools and communities.
- These activities make learning fun and build hands-on experience.
5. Leverage Online Learning Platforms
- Introduce students to free or low-cost platforms like Khan Academy, Scratch, Code.org, and Google CS First.
- Translate or adapt content to local languages for better inclusion.
6. Community and Parental Engagement
