The Support Coding Education Initiatives for Public School has been launched by Media & Digital Skills Centre Nigeria. This was made known in a statement by the managing director of the firm, Dr, Ajibola Abiola.
He said Coding had been recognised as the foundational and most creative knowledge in the world today, birthing systems like Android/ I-phones, robots, drones, Artificial Intelligence, apps and other smart devices.
“We are living in an Era where all the a f o r e m e n t i o n e d devices are changing the global landscape in a multidimensional way. “Right now, we can not afford to leave our Children behind,” Abiola said.
He observed that this is why the Federal Government of Nigeria had recently decided to integrate the subject into schools curriculum.
Noting, however, that the government might not be able to provide all the necessary materials and facilities required to kickstart the programme, especially in public schools, Abiola therefore called on well-meaning individuals, especially old students associations, to sponsor Unique Coding Books (Level 1-5) & the c o r r e s p o n d i n g Teacher’s Guide for their alma mater so that instruction could take off in earnest.
