Good morning Stephen. Looking at the loops covid 19 brought to the education sector, and how it brought more Nigerians to the realization of smart education, however do you think Nigeria is ready for such digitalized form of education across all states and every school?

I think the need for the availability, accessibility and affordability of Education will drive the changes. So, it may not be about whether we're ready or not.

I believe the demand for education (formal or informal) and the need to make it available and accessible to more people at little or no cost, will trigger big changes.

Why is our educational system still using the same method as was used over 20 years ago and how do we improve it?

Everyone is responsible. The demand for education drives it supply and rising price. The worship of certificates offered by schools is a factor.
