The Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) has organised training for teachers on multimedia content development to ensure effective implementation of digital literacy and remote learning in Kano State.
The Project Coordinator, Malam Mujtapha Aminu, said the training marks an important milestone in an effort to enhance digital literacy among adolescent girls.
He added that the training was specifically designed to equip teachers with the essential digital knowledge and skills required to effectively integrate technology into their instructional practices.
“By doing so, we aimed to empower teachers to provide high-quality digital skills education to their students, particularly adolescent girls.
“In today’s technology-driven world, digital skills are no longer a luxury, but a necessity. They are essential for personal, societal, and economic growth, enabling individuals to participate fully in the digital economy, improve productivity, and drive innovation.
“Through this training, we are committed to bridging the digital divide and ensuring that adolescent girls have equal access to digital opportunities. I am confident that, together, we can make a meaningful impact and empower the next generation of leaders,” Aminu said.
Communication Officer, Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) Kano, Nasiru Yusuf Ibrahim, in a statement on Sunday in Kano, quoted the project coordinator as saying the training would enhance the capability of participants to develop relevant digital content in line with 21st century teaching and learning requirements.
He noted that Kano needed a large pool of skilled educators with digital learning content development skills in order to ensure improved teaching and learning outcomes in schools across the state.
The project coordinator encouraged the trainees to actively participate in the training to enrich their skills and competencies in effectively creating educational content.
In his remarks, the Component Lead of Digital Literacy and Remote Learning, Kano AGILE, Malam Ahmad Jibril, said the participants, mainly teachers from girls’ senior secondary schools in the state, are expected to step down the training to other teachers.
He revealed that in the first phase of the implementation year, 100 schools will benefit from the intervention that will support training of students
