Experts Seek Restructuring of Nigeria's Educational Curriculum

For Nigerian youths to achieve their potential in the future of learning, the need to review the country's educational curriculum have been emphasised by experts at the launch of Harde Business School (HBS).

According to them, this became necessary to drive educational transformation considering global trends in adopting expert-led courses for emerging markets.

The Harde Business School runs expert-led courses specifically focused on preparing young Africans for the future of work through a collective of carefully curated programs designed to deliver the right learning experience and advantage to digitally savvy millennials and Gen Zers.

Giving the keynote speech at the launch of HBS courses recently in Lagos, the founding Vice-Chancellor, Babcock University, Prof. Kayode Makinde, emphasised that innovation was required to reimagine the future of learning.

He pointed out that for the country to prepare its teeming youths for the global future of work, “restructuring of the educational system must be adaptive in order to create the future that recognizes the present-day realities of the needs of the youths."

He advocated the need for expertled courses that meet the needs of the present generation, adding educators and academic institutions must understand that courses that meet their needs of today's youths and the country will be highly sought after.

“The country must restructure its current educational methodology as learning is much more than what is obtained currently across all levels of institutions in the country. Experts-led courses that have technical background across all sectors should be encouraged."
