Sweden has reassured its commitment to deepen bilateral relations with
Nigeria on innovative educational system to promote effective teaching and
learning.
Gràns Carl-Michael, Sweden Ambassador to Nigeria, made this known in an
interview with NAN, on sidelines of the inauguration of ‘SchoolTry’, on
Saturday in Abuja. SchoolTry is a Swedish Education Technology company in
Nigeria. According to him, Sweden is seeking opportunities that will increase
the trade relations and volumes between it and Nigeria, hence the establishment
of the SchoolTry educational platform.
“Sweden works with different projects regarding digitisation that is a huge
challenge for many countries, including Sweden and of course Nigeria because of
its populations. “What I learnt about SchoolTry founded by a Nigerian in Sweden
working with education and e-learning is that it will be interesting for
Nigeria. “Education is a national responsibility for Nigeria as it is for
Sweden. I think e-learning is for the future and it is developing very fast.
“So, we can just guess what comes in five or 10 years, when it comes to digital
learning, I think this is an area we can cooperate and proffer solutions to educational
challenges as well.
“It is obvious that Nigeria has challenges when it comes to the big population
and granting education to the entire population, which is the heart of the
populace,” he said. Carl-Michael said that the digitisation of the education
sector of the country was key in creating a platform for solutions to the
challenges often faced. He said for Nigeria’s economy to grow in line with its
population size, there was the need to engage people on digitisation as
blueprint to achieve meaningful growth.
