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.”
