The Federal Ministry of Education has rolled out the Inspire Live(s) Online Real-Time Classes Initiative, a nationwide digital learning programme aimed at ensuring equitable access to quality education for all Nigerian children.
Announcing the initiative on Monday, the Minister of Education, Chief (Dr.) Maruf Tunji Alausa (FAMedS), CON, said the programme aligns with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and is designed to address the shortage of qualified teachers while guaranteeing uninterrupted learning across the country.
According to the Ministry, the Inspire Live(s) platform delivers live, interactive lessons through Cisco Webex, enabling students to join classes regardless of their location or circumstances.
The platform currently streams daily online classes for Junior and Senior Secondary Schools, featuring JSS1–3 and SS1–2 classes. Lessons run every Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Subjects taught include JSS: Basic Science, Mathematics, English Language, ICT, Agricultural Science, Basic Technology, Civic Education, French, Physical Education, Religious Studies, History, and Business Studies.
SSS: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language, Mathematics, Economics, Geography, Agricultural Science, Technical Drawing/Catering Craft, Civic Education, and Automobile Mechanics.
To ensure smooth nationwide implementation, the Ministry has directed all Commissioners of Education to appoint State Focal Officers, circulate programme details to school principals, and ensure designated schools are equipped with basic ICT facilities and internet access.
The Ministry emphasized that the real-time online classes are open to all public and private schools across the country.
