Professionals Urge Govt to Introduce Computer Education in Schools

The Federal Government has been called upon, to introduce computer education into schools' curriculum.

This was advanced by a former Special Assistant to Kwara State Governor on Information and Communication Technology, Mr. Hamzat Umaru, and Chief Executive Officer, FEMTEC Computers Limited, Mr. Emmanuel Abidoye.

They urged government to introduce it in all primary and secondary schools across the country.

They said this in Ilorin on Thursday during the final stage of an ICT league in Kwara State's secondary schools.

According to Umaru, computer education should become a culture in the schools as it would facilitate teaching and learning as well as expose the pupils and students to the opportunities in being computer compliant.

"All primary and secondary schools in the country should be ICT compliant. It is not a big deal for that to happen. It is a culture. If we want our society to grow on the tenets of ICT, then, it is important that we begin to adopt it and look at it more as a culture," Umaru said.
