FirstBank of Nigeria Limited, in partnership with Roducate and Lagos State Government, has launched a free e-learning platform for students across the country.

This was announced on Monday May 25, 2020, by the bank’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Adesola Adeduntan.

He announced that thousands of students have been signing up to access the e-learning solutions for free.

He stated that the initiative was to reiterate the bank’s commitment to preventing discontinuation of learning among students during this lockdown.

The Roducate e-learning platform is structured in line with the government’s accredited curriculum for primary, secondary and tertiary schools across various fields of academic endeavours, such as science, commercial and arts.

Also, it includes tutorial videos to reinforce the learning engagement as well as assignments and mock exam to test the students’ knowledge and progress in the course of studying.

In addition, learning on the platform enables one to take notes for quick reference.

The Roducate e-learning platform contains exciting features to engage the students in extra-curricular activities.

These features include podcasts and various games such as brain pulse, monster munch etc. which allows one to play with other students online thereby building relationships and promoting interactive learning.

On the implementation of the initiative, Dr. Adeduntan, said, “The partnership with Lagos State has seen us provide low-end devices for students preloaded with Roducate offline content which include government accredited curriculum for primary through secondary education and several university courses.

“This solution will see Lagos State offer children in the lower bracket, who may not have access to devices or data from home affordable smart phones preloaded with the curriculum,” he said.

“The phones have SIMs and limited data tied, only, to the Roducate learning product, which means the recipients cannot browse, encouraging safe learning but can still submit tests, mock exams etc.

‘’Our partnership offers students free online access to the education solutions.

“We encourage parents and guardians to have their children and wards registered in this initiative so their educational development is not held back,” he added.
