Hence, we need to make sure that teaching staff are able to acquire the right skills to take advantage of blended and digital learning solutions, which is why we have partnered with Mirai and Intel to launch HP IDEA.”
The Director-General Office of Education Quality Assurance, Lagos State Ministry of Education, Abiola Seriki-Ayeni, stated that teachers were of utmost priority in the education ecosystem, adding that the partnership was a welcome development during this period. He said,
