Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has launched a first-of-its-kind Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered Teaching and Learning Platform, known as the Ogun Learning Enhancement and Academic Resource Network (OgunLearn).
The idea is aimed at repositioning the state’s education sector for 21st-century learning.
The platform was officially unveiled at the June 12 Cultural Centre, Abeokuta.
Speaking at the launch, Governor Abiodun said OgunLearn would provide comprehensive lesson resources and interactive learning support for students.
He said it would also enable teachers to plan lessons, access teaching materials and track performance more efficiently.
Abiodun explained that the platform would promote creativity, digital thinking and self-paced learning.
He added that it is designed not only to deliver educational content but also to nurture accountability, analytical thinking and lifelong learning skills among learners.
“Today, OgunLearn reflects our firm belief that every child, regardless of location or background, deserves access to quality education enhanced by technology,” the governor said.
Abiodun noted that the initiative represents foresight, innovation and a deliberate effort to prepare children and youths for the future rather than the past.
According to him, OgunLearn is a digital education tool developed to modernise teaching and learning across schools in the state.
“We are today the only state in the federation that operates a Skills Qualifications Awarding Body.”
