Tech experts say digital learning among children in schools will not only equip them to learn and grow at their own pace but also help them discover their talents.
This formed part of discussions as experts in the field say institutions of learning need to incorporate technological tools in their learning.
In today’s world, the learning dynamics have changed.
This is due to the emergence of different digital applications aimed at improving learning, especially among children.
While traditional physical learning is important, these online applications are targeted to complement classroom learning.
Experts say, if harnessed, can improve digital literacy and reduce learning deficiency among Nigerian children.
A Survey carried out by the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics, shows that among Nigerian children and adolescents aged 7-14 years only 27 per cent have foundational reading skills and 25 per cent have foundational numeracy skills.
The worrying statistics further explained by experts indicate that children are indeed going to school but are not learning.
This, they say calls for immediate action.
Analysts add that children’s learning and educational milestones should be intentionally catered for using diverse methods including digital platforms to improve learning in order to achieve the required result.
