Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, conducted an inspection of the multistorey prototype primary school in Adeta, Ilorin, over the weekend. Describing the facility as a significant stride towards upgrading public school infrastructure, the governor highlighted that it aligns with the state’s extensive investments in enhancing teaching quality across schools.

Speaking to reporters during the inspection, Governor AbdulRazaq reiterated his administration's commitment to channelling greater resources into the education sector in the current fiscal year. This initiative aims to address existing gaps in school infrastructure and promote digital literacy among students.

He further noted that the government's KwaraLEARN programme represents a turning point for both teachers and pupils in the state. By integrating technology and adopting global best practices, the programme seeks to revolutionise learning processes and improve educational outcomes in Kwara's public schools.

“We are going to focus heavily on education and healthcare this year. Those are the major challenges that we have to overcome. With what we have in the KwaraLEARN programme through which we put digital devices in every classroom, we are intentionally doing what we have to do to make sure we bridge some gaps,” the Governor said.

“We have seen significant changes. As a result of the progress that we have made, many parents are taking their wards from private establishments to government schools because they have seen the change. This has seen an increase in enrollment. We are also reducing out-of-school children.

“This is a prototype of KwaraLEARN School. This is called a prototype in the sense that we have to rethink how we design and build our schools and learning environment. It is the way we want to build our schools. This is just the beginning.

“Parents are taking advantage of KwaraLEARN to enrol their children in public schools. By and large, we have seen an upturn in enrollment in our schools, and the learning outcomes are exceedingly very good. We are glad that we went into the KwaraLEARN programme and we are going to strengthen it.”
