Governor Peter Mbah's visionary approach to education in Enugu State is bearing remarkable fruit. The state has witnessed a revolutionary shift in its educational system, driven by cutting-edge Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
The journey began merely two months ago when Governor Mbah initiated a bold project, and today, Enugu State stands on the brink of a significant milestone with the pilot K-9 SMART School nearing completion, currently at an impressive 97% finished.
The K-9 SMART School represents the future of education, offering world-class facilities that will soon be replicated across all 260 wards of the state within a four-year timeframe. These facilities include a functional clinic, a Center for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, a modern ICT center, well-equipped science laboratories for both junior and primary schools, an e-library, a tech laboratory, a studio for creative production, specialized classrooms for students with special needs, interactive boards, and a massive one-million-liter underground water storage facility.
Notably, these schools are designed to immerse students in the digital world, equipping them to compete on a global scale in the digital sphere. What's even more remarkable is that Governor Peter Mbah has committed to providing free education in these schools, ensuring that every child in Enugu State has access to this world-class education.
Additionally, these schools are set to operate on clean, renewable energy sources, primarily solar power, showcasing Enugu State's commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
The long-term impact of this educational transformation is profound. Enugu State is poised to produce a new generation of skilled workers and visionary leaders in innovation, setting the stage for sustainable economic and social development that will benefit generations to come.
Governor Peter Mbah calls upon the people of Enugu State, Ndi Enugu, to rally behind this transformative initiative and support his administration in continuing to make strides in education. The future is now, and tomorrow has indeed arrived in Enugu State.
