FG unveils online classes for secondary school students

The Federal Ministry of Education has rolled out the Inspire Live(s) Online Real-Time Classes Initiative, a nationwide digital learning programme aimed at expanding access to quality education for schoolchildren across Nigeria.

The ministry, in a statement on Tuesday signed by its Director of Press and Public Relations, Folasade Boriowo, described the initiative as a groundbreaking programme designed to expand equitable access to quality learning for every Nigerian child, adding that it aligns with the “Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.”

According to the statement, the programme was created to address long-standing challenges in the education sector, including shortages of qualified teachers and disruptions to learning.

By streaming live, interactive lessons directly to students, the ministry said Inspire Live(s) “democratises access to quality education and ensures that no child is left behind regardless of location or circumstance.”

The Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, confirmed that full implementation has begun.

He noted that the rollout “is underway, with expansion set to cover all classes from Primary 1 to Senior Secondary 3.”

Currently, the Inspire platform hosts online classes for JSS and SSS students. The ministry said the classes hold “Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m.” and are delivered by “certified master teachers using Cisco Webex.”

The statement listed the subjects available for Junior Secondary School learners, which include Basic Science, Mathematics, English Language, ICT, Agricultural Science, Basic Technology, Civic Education, French, Physical Education, Religious Studies, History, and Business Studies.

For Senior Secondary School learners, the subjects include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language, Mathematics, Economics, Geography, Agricultural Science, Technical Drawing/Catering Craft, Civic Education, and Automobile Mechanics.

To ensure nationwide participation, the ministry said it had directed all state Commissioners for Education to take specific steps.

“These include nominating “a State Focal Officer to coordinate Inspire Live(s) activities,” and circulating “programme details to all public and private school principals.”

The ministry further instructed states to “ensure designated schools are equipped with basic ICT facilities and internet connectivity,” emphasising that the programme requires minimum digital capability for seamless delivery.

It added that registration for participation “is strictly to be conducted by school principals via the Inspire support channels.”

The statement stressed that the online classes are not restricted to government institutions, noting that the programme “is open to all public and private schools in the country to access.”
