The Benue State Government has announced plans to establish 13 Digital Learning Centres (DLCs) in selected schools to improve access to technology-driven education.

The Executive Chairman of the Benue State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Grace Adagba, disclosed this on Tuesday at the Federal Ministry of Education–Universal Basic Education Commission (FME-UBEC) Roundtable on Digital Resources in Abuja.

A statement by SUBEB spokesperson, Msughter Ataigbough, said the centres are part of the state’s efforts to create technology-enabled learning environments that will improve teaching, learning and access to quality educational resources.

Adagba said the initiative aligns with Governor Hyacinth Alia’s digital transformation agenda for the education sector.

She highlighted the state’s ongoing digital education programmes and reaffirmed SUBEB’s commitment to adopting digital innovations introduced by the Federal Ministry of Education and UBEC.

Adagba, who is a member of the National EdTech Committee on Achieving Learning Outcomes, said Benue was ready to domesticate and deploy relevant digital resources to strengthen teaching and learning in public schools.

She noted that integrating technology into classrooms would equip pupils with the skills needed to compete in a rapidly evolving digital world. (Daily Trust)
