FG Expands AI Training Programme to 11,700 Teachers in Unity Colleges

FG Expands AI Training Programme to 11,700 Teachers in Unity Colleges

The Federal Government has expanded its AI Teacher Capacity Development Programme to reach about 11,700 teachers in Federal Unity Colleges nationwide. The programme follows a pilot in six schools across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones. It will be implemented by the Ministry of Education’s Education Support Services Department in partnership with ICEDT Consult Limited. Teachers will receive practical training in artificial intelligence and digital tools for lesson planning, classroom instruction and responsible AI use. The ministry says the initiative is part of its wider plan to modernise education and prepare students for a digital economy.

How will the programme build on lessons from the six-school pilot across the geopolitical zones?

Exactly. Scaling teacher training makes more sense when earlier experiences shape the wider rollout.

Reaching 11,700 teachers nationwide could give the programme a much broader foundation than the pilot.

The expansion sounds promising, but the announcement leaves the implementation details largely unclear.

Clear training schedules and follow-up support would help teachers apply what they learn in their classrooms.
