COVID-19: E-learning our tertiary institutions need (1)

Our education system has to be restructured and reformed. The hard and software needed must be put in place even if government has to go for facilities such as loans to achieve such.

These were access, content, quality and infrastructure. If we consider the controversy that often marks the relationship between the government and workers’ unions such as the Academic Staff Union of Universities , it will be noted that the issue of manpower is also key.

What is making e-learning to gain worldwide recognition and acceptance includes the facts that there is a global increase in the number of applicants for higher education, which is as a result of global massification of higher education. E-learning thus becomes a means of extending the walls. That is why it was reassuring when, in March this year, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, held a virtual meeting with heads of tertiary institutions and discussed the imperative of deploying e-learning, as it is being done globally, to save time, arrest the boredom, confusion, fear and, indeed, the disruption that the pandemic unleashed on the system,.

Anyway, even if one does not consider any other factor, one must realize that there is a retirement age and each day wasted at home is a minus for that too. Perhaps in the federal government’s understandable eagerness, it, days after the meeting, directed the institutions to commence implementing e-learning immediately! But that is the point where another fundamental question arises.

For instance, the Oyo State government recently constituted a sub-committee on its education emergency plan, to ensure seamless e-learning in its eight higher institutions, including the Ladoke Akintola University it co-owns with the Osun State government and the newest, the First Technical University, Ibadan.at Home E-learning , Lagos has approved e-portals for online education in its tertiary institutions, including the Lagos State University, Ojo.

This will help in unifying programme goals even without hindering creatively enriching and localizing the curriculum on the part of each institution, faculty, department and lecturer.. This will help the delivery of the contents. As of now, some stakeholders believe that once you have a class on TV station, e-learning is done and dusted.
