摘要

鉴于大多数国家在利用数字化方面准备不足，2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的突然爆发对全球教育部门造成了巨大打击。本研究对尼日利亚教育部门的表现及其对COVID-19大流行的应对进行了透视，旨在强调数字化教育对预防未来冲击的必要性。调查结果显示，尼日利亚教育部门的表现并不令人印象深刻，由于该部门普遍存在基础设施缺陷，在疫情期间学习戛然停止。进一步的结果表明，除非采取战略措施，使尼日利亚毕业生接触到现代工作世界所需要的数字化，否则他们可能面临无法就业的问题。因此，有必要增加对该部门的预算拨款，以弥补其基础设施方面的差距。这将有助于尼日利亚在教育方面赶上全球最佳做法，并为改善非洲的教育服务提供奠定基础。

Digitising education in Nigeria: lessons from COVID-19

The sudden outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) dealt a great blow on the global educational sector, given the ill-preparedness of most countries to leverage digitisation. This study x-rayed the performance of the Nigerian educational sector and its response to COVID-19 pandemic with a view to underscoring the imperativeness of digitising education to forestall future shocks. The findings revealed the unimpressive performance of the Nigerian educational sector as learning came to a screeching halt during the pandemic, given the pervasive infrastructural deficits in the sector. Further result showed that Nigerian graduates are likely to face non-employability unless strategic steps are taken to expose them to digitisation, which the modern world of work requires. It, therefore, becomes pertinent to increase the budgetary allocation to the sector to bridge its infrastructural gaps. This would help Nigeria catch-up with global best practices in education and set the pace for improved educational service delivery in Africa.
