Hopes of a better world, limitless possibilities of a reimagined
future and our dreams of equality of opportunity.
Every child has a unique voice We listen for it.
We are a team of expert educators committed to support learners,
parents, teachers and schools achieve the best educational
outcomes. We curate innovative EdTech platforms and successful
teaching practices from around the world in order to deliver
better educational outcomes at scale.
Some of our achievements and Programs
1. In our engagement with schools in the FCT region in Nigeria,
we have worked and partnered with national and international
organisations to provide leadership training and workshops, Ed
tech platforms, technological challenges, Teachers'
network.(where we conduct continuous professional development,
awards, recognitions and extra income opportunities for
teachers, and more) and conferences for approximately fifty
schools and school leaders, 200 teachers, and approximately 700
students.
2. As the lockdown ended in October of 2021, and with covid
disparities creating even wider chasms in the children’s
learning gap, Afrelib Academy partnered with PAGS Profile, an
AI-enabled online assessment and progress monitoring tool. It is
used by the Afrelib Academy team working with schools to gain
unique insights into how children learn, identifying learning
and skill gaps, and providing teachers with strategies and
resources to close identified learning gaps. Children with
additional learning needs are especially underserved and often
forgotten, and sometimes, even condemned to fail. Whether for a
small school setting with 40 children or a whole school approach
with 400 children within rural and/or urban settings, Afrelib
Academy provides a measured, sustainable but scalable way to
make significant impact to teaching and learning in Nigeria and
potentially throughout Africa and diaspora. Afrelib Academy also
creates awareness of fair and equal learning for all children
irrespective of their learning abilities or challenges, social
status, ethnicity or gender through different platforms.
3. Another example is the Tech Challenge we ran over the
Christmas holidays, 80 children competed with each other on
another AI-enabled platform, CenturyTech, attempting over 20,000
questions and answering 15,000 plus correctly. The joy and
fulfilment on the winners faces cannot be quantified. Imagine
the amount of learning achieved by that group of students at an
international standard. The partnerships with PAGS Profile and
CenturyTech are examples of the kind of highly progressive and
highly impactful approach we bring into Education. For too long,
we have continued to look in the rear view mirror whilst
attempting to steer our children towards a brighter, better more
fulfilling future. The outcome has been anaemic at best; and at
worst, unforgivable failings.
4. Our way in Afrelib Academy is to do the hard work of
monitoring the trajectory of where the future is going and then
ensure we provide the teaching and learning skills required for
educators and learners to be ready for that future. The
fundamental difference is that, at Afrelib Academy, we are not
going to compromise the future of our children by being afraid
to confront what is needed to squarely face that future today.
To do this, we are creating:
1. The ability to listen very clearly to the individual and
unique voice of every child
2. To distinctly gain insights as to how that child learns
3. To offer a personalised learning pathway for each child
according to the child’s potential
4. To empower teachers to deliver improved learning whilst
saving lesson preparation time
In addition to this, and this is where the real impact to the
African continent is, we can now scale up this personalised
approach for the very many and not just for the very few. This
is because the future is now here. The ever increasing rate of
advances in technology has been pointing to this moment for some
time. Recent breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence brings us
to this defining moment. It is why we designed and held this
Easter and summer Tech Bootcamp. It is why we’ve also recently
launched the summer Robotics and GPT AI Technology Challenge. We
will intentionally continue to raise the stakes and the
standards because our children, and their teachers, deserve the
highest standards. The skills we see these children acquiring at
events like these are incredible. These children are amazing
when given the opportunity and we can’t wait to see them create
explainable and trustworthy solutions to real life problems. The
dawn of a new epoch due to technology advancement is now also
providing an amazing opportunity for our children. This 2023
Afrelib Robotics AI GPT Tech challenge with 150 students working
in 16 different teams, from different schools across the FCT to
solve different real life problems across different sectors;
education, agriculture, health, to mention a few. They worked
diligently for 8 weeks from 1st June to 25th July. These are
skills that are and will remain very attractive to global
employers of the future; these are skills that entrepreneurs use
to create local as well as global solutions to humanities'
current and future needs. These are the skills that Afrelib
Academy is ensuring that your children master today in order to
successfully compete and excel at and above global standards in
the future. Every child has a unique voice. At Afrelib Academy,
We listen for it. Thank you
