Unity schools old students form e-learning platform

The Unity Schools Old Students Association (USOSA) has developed an e-learning solution for deployment to the 104 Unity Schools and others across the country.

The e-learning platform was designed by Study Lab for USOSA as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The president-general of the USOSA, Lawrence Anirejuoritse Wilbert, disclosed this when members of the association paid a courtesy visit to the Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba recently in Abuja.

He also commended the minister for embarking on an assessment tour of all unity schools in the country.

He also spoke on the need for all the 104 unity schools to be repositioned to attract foreign students.

“We seek collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education to deploy a comprehensive learning management system (USOSA Virtual Schools (UVS) solution), which the experts in USOSA have developed to meet the current needs of our centres of educational excellence and surmount some of the teaching/ learning challenges posed by the COVID-19,” he said.

The vice president-general of the association, Michael Magaji, explained that the platform was designed to boost students’ performance in the country as part of its contribution to the education sector.

Minister Nwajiuba promised that the ministry would collaborate with the association in the deployment of the e-learning platform. He also commended members of the association for their various contributions to their various alma maters.
