Ondo State is ready to partner with Teesas Education, a pioneering and innovative education technology (EdTech) firm to enhance the standard of education and quality of learners in the state.
Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, Mr Olaolu Akindolire, disclosed this while receiving executives of Teesas Education in Akure, the state capital.
He said Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa’s administration is in a hurry to turn around the education sector and ensure that students across the state get nothing less than the best quality and qualitative education.
According to him “Teesas Education’s proposal is a robust self-funded educational solution that will unlock significant donor funding to transform the academic trajectory of Ondo State public secondary schools. “
Founder and Chairman of Teesas Education, Mr. Osayi Izedonmwen, said that his organisation would deploy a fully integrated Education Management System (EMS), curriculum-aligned digital content (videos, eBooks and textbooks) and provide tablets for teachers and students to drive the transformation of public schools in the state.
“The EMS is an integrated system designed to enable consistent lesson delivery, increased interactivity in classrooms, and accountability among teachers and students leading to improved learning outcomes.
“All lesson plans will be standardised and delivered to teachers via the EMS and tablets. Teachers will clock in, check class timetables, take students’ attendance, and access scripted lessons on the EMS. On the other hand, students will receive lesson notes on their tablets and continue their learning journey on the Teesas Education App through access to curriculum-aligned videos and e-books, even outside the school premises.
“Anyone with access to the EMS can instantly see when a teacher arrives at school and the number of students present and absent in each class. At the end of an academic year, if a student performs poorly, the school can tell why based on their attendance and performance in quizzes and assessments,” he said.
