Coding should be part of the education curriculum, like other literacy and numeracy subjects. Coding is as much about creativity as it is about math, science, and problem-solving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also, Coderina BOT Chairman, Mr. Femi Niyi, explained: \u201cIn response to the future of work, education must evolve to support teachers in developing individual student\u2019s potential and preparing students to become lifelong learners so that they can innovate tomorrow\u2019s world and solve real-life problems in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 麻豆原创 Africa Code week, the most extensive digital literacy on the continent of Africa, is designed to demystify coding and make it a learned skill for students. However, achieving this would require teacher training and transformation from traditional teaching styles to pedagogy that supports the acquisition of 21st century skills and competencies necessary in the 4IR.<\/p>\n<p>This article first appeared here: <a href=\"https:\/\/g9ija.com\/2022\/11\/23\/4th-industrial-revolution-teachers-get-empowered-on-digital-literacy\/\">4th industrial revolution: Teachers get empowered on digital literacy \u2013 G9IJA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of secondary school teachers across the country recently got the opportunity to better equip their students for the 4th industrial revolution, as they&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":144042,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"related_posts":[],"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19013,5597575],"tags":[5598324,5594808,5598321,3434647,53197,5598320,5598284,5598319,5597552],"series":[],"sapn-display":[45149,5598743,5598741,279685],"sapn-type":[4448],"class_list":["post-144036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-corporate","category-training","tag-4th-industrial-revolution","tag-coderina","tag-coderina-education-and-technology-foundation","tag-csr","tag-digital-literacy","tag-national-senior-secondary-school-education-commission","tag-nigeria","tag-nssec","tag-sap-africa-code-week","sapn-display-homepage-hero","sapn-display-news-hero","sapn-display-news-spotlight","sapn-display-hero","sapn-type-newsbyte"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
