The tablets will be distributed among students of Senior Secondary School (SSS) classes in public secondary schools in the state.
Built to improve learning among secondary school students in the state and to further prepare them for external and internal examinations, the tablets, designed in the form of a mini iPad, would be distributed to the students free-of-charge.
According to the deputy governor, who doubles as the state Commissioner for Education, Mrs Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, the Governor Rauf Aregbesola-led government was determined to ensure that students from the state were equipped to meet up with the high standards needed to excel in the world of learning and research.
The tablets, she added, “are installed with softwares of lesson notes and textbooks on 17 subjects offered by students of secondary schools, as well as past questions and answers on the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE), National Examination Council (NECO) and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).”
The launch and distribution of the computer tablets, which also contain other extra-curricular subjects, including sexuality education, entrepreneurship, civic and computer education, yoruba history and traditional religion, according to the deputy governor, “is a further attestation to the resolute pursuit of innovation in the state education sector.”
