Nigeria’s edtech sector is witnessing unprecedented growth, with startups leveraging technology to bridge educational gaps. Platforms like uLesson and Edves are providing affordable, quality education to students across the country.
uLesson, for instance, offers interactive video lessons tailored to the Nigerian curriculum, while Edves automates administrative tasks for schools, enabling educators to focus on teaching. These solutions are particularly impactful in rural areas where access to quality education is limited.
The government’s “eLearning for All” program has further accelerated the adoption of digital tools in schools. Under this initiative, 5,000 schools received tablets loaded with educational content, and teachers were trained in digital teaching methods.
