The United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund, or UNICEF, has introduced the Nigeria Learning Passport, or NLP, in Osun State in an effort to make education more appealing to the state’s youth.
According to UNICEF, the NLP is a digital learning platform created to give kids access to high-quality education wherever they are.
UNICEF spokeswoman Babagana Aminu spoke during the event, which took place at the Olagunsoye Oyinlola Auditorium, Uniosun, in Osogbo. She characterised the effort as a major partnership between Osun State and UNICEF in the field of education.
“Since 2022, the project has enrolled 1,478,984 students. The Learning Passport is available for free online, on mobile, and offline devices. Osun is the 21st state to officially launched the Nigeria Learning Platform”, he said.
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke who was represented by the Head of Service, Samuel Aina, assured UNICEF of his administration’s commitment to taking advantage of the platform to access education by children in the state.
“This is a platform that enables continuous access to education for children, youth and teachers around the world. The passport project drives improved learning outcomes through high quality, portable enlightenment to support their entry into other opportunity pathways including formal education,” he added.
Earlier, the the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Muritala Jimoh, said “Nigeria Learning Passport is another giant stride in Osun education sectoral achievement.
According to him, Osun State is now opened to and embraces development partners and donor agencies; a paradigm shifts from the hitherto self style approach of hostility to corporate assistance.
