"OPON IMO": How A Tablet Can Transform Our Schools


                   "OPON IMO": HOW A TABLET CAN TRANSFORM OUR SCHOOLS 
One cannot begin to summarise why the use of Tablets for Student would make a profound difference to their life and education. As a Nigerian, OPON IMO – The Tablet of Knowledge initiative by the government of the State of Osun is a welcome development to access the school curriculum.

The Tablets do so many things that other devices simply cannot do. Because they are small and light, they can be used anywhere. They travel with the student, whatever the individual needs of that student may be. Use is not restricted to a set location, Software is user-specific and use touch technologies...


It engages the use of modern state-of-the-art curriculum and education materials via the use of relevant apps, unprecedented access to learning contents on-the-go, huge cost-saving in Textbooks procurement for the students, access to updated information and trends by both the teachers and students, and so much more.

The government of the State of Osun has put words into action in improving the quality of education and refurbishing the entire education sector in the state by embracing the trend of the jet-age – Technology! The government has identified key issues especially in the area of performance of students in the Senior Secondary School leaving certificate and matriculation examinations.

And OPON IMO, the adoption of an IT strategy, is the conduit which facilitates these change that will make the whole difference.

OPON IMO...it's all about empowering minds & enriching lives.
