Plus, TV News Correspondent Love Ikugoye Dukun tells us more in this report. These are stakeholders from the educational sector, drawn from across all strata of the nation. They are here, locking horns for two straight days on how to evolve a feed-for-purpose education model for the state. Governor Somolu, who joined via Zoom from Abuja, but was represented physically by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG Folasha Dejaji, said that improved education is one of the legacies he wishes to live behind by the time he leaves office. Education for us is a must for us. It's one of the major, major dividends of democracy. It's one of the cardinal objectives of any government that is worth its work. And so for us, we see education as one of the things, one of the tools that can end poverty in our system. We see education as one of the legacies that we can repeat, you know, to generations coming behind us. And so we're not paying any service to education. We're thinking it very, very, very seriously. On her part, the Commissioner for Education, Folasha De Adefisayo, said Nigeria has a lot to do in improving the education sector, and that the summit was organized to find solutions to the problems facing the sector. So this is about audacity. It's not another talk show. Nigeria has a lot. We have a lot of problems. Yes, Nigeria has the largest number of our school children in the world, among other unfavorable key performance indicators of education. We have a lot of work to do, and therefore the Lagos State Education Summit is important because some of the outcomes of this summit, we hope, will contribute to the process of framing the solutions to the well known problems in the sector. Stakeholders believe that creating a sustainable feed for purpose education model cause for a reworking of the current system being operated. Your content wants to reflect your socioeconomic, you know, affinity. The teachers must be able to be globally competitive in terms of, you know, what is required of them, you know, globally. These are some of the things feed for purpose education is designed to do. We have to look at quality of our education. One key thing we need to solve is the quality of our teachers. We cannot improve education outcomes in Nigeria if we don't improve the quality of our teachers. And to do that, it goes beyond training 5,000 teachers, 10,000 teachers. We must come up with a model that can train millions of teachers on a yearly basis, based on incentives. Those are the kind of things we need to rethink. Those are hard questions we need to ask ourselves. The Vice Chancellor of Pan-Atlantic University in Nigeria, Professor Inase Okonedu, in her lecture urged stakeholders to see education as an investment that can make the youth thrive in an ever-changing world.
