Ahead of the much anticipated roll out of CodeLagos, the Lagos State
Ministry of Education on Tuesday said the programme would seek to teach
at least one million Lagos residents to code by 2019 and also foster
necessary skills to create sustainable solutions to social challenges
and create employment opportunities.
The government also announced the commencement of the screening and selection exercise for facilitators for the programme.
In
April 2017, three hundred (300) Coding Centers across six (6) Education
Districts in Lagos State will be commissioned, marking the beginning of
the CodeLagos after-school programme in both public and private schools
– primary, secondary & tertiary. Centers will also be set up at
State public libraries and other community spaces.
Speaking at a
press briefing, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mr.
Obafela Bank-Olemoh, said that; “CodeLagos will not only cultivate a
savvy workforce to drive our mega-city, but it will generate employment
and business opportunities as we mobilize up to 1,500 facilitators in
2017 alone.”
“CodeLagos is an initiative of the Lagos State
Government which aims to teach one million Lagos residents to code by
2019. The program will foster necessary skills to create sustainable
solutions to social challenges and create employment opportunities.”
Bank-Olemoh
also underscored the commitment of the State Government, under the
leadership of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to position Lagos State as the
technology frontier in Africa saying it was also in line with the Lagos
Smart City initiative in partnership with Dubai Smart City.
He
said the application process, which is primarily online, entails a
submission of bio-data and completion of a general assessment, while
successful applicants will receive world-standard trainings on the
necessary skills areas.
“Qualifying candidates must be available
to participate in all the required trainings which would be provided by
the State in collaboration with private sector partners within the
technology sector. They must also be willing to commit at least 12 hours
weekly to facilitate CodeLagos courses at designated centers upon the
launch of the initiative in April,” he said.
The application portal, Bank-Olemoh said, opened on Tuesday, February 7, 2017, and is accessible on
