GoalPrime Organization Nigeria (GPON) joins the global community in commemorating the International Day of Education 2025 under the theme "Al and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation." The theme highlights the importance of adopting a human-centered approach to integrating Artificial Intelligence (Al) and educational technology into learning systems. While technology can empower, it must not replace the critical role of human agency in education.
GOALPrime’s Commitment to Education in Emergencies
As a national non-governmental organization, GoalPrime has long been dedicated to addressing the critical gaps in education in emergencies, especially in regions deeply affected by conflict and instability. The organization has worked relentlessly to ensure children in underserved areas access safe, inclusive, and quality education regardless of their circumstances.
In line with this year's theme, GoalPrime recognizes the transformative potential of Al in education, which can help overcome barriers to learning and bridge gaps in access and quality. However, the organization emphasizes that while technological advancements such as Al hold great promise, it is essential to preserve human agency in the educational process, ensuring that technology complements and not replaces people.
Innovative Solutions for Education in Emergencies
To tackle the pressing educational challenges, GoalPrime has developed several innovative technological solutions, including EduTrack, EduHero Innovation Challenge, and EduConnect Al. These initiatives are designed to improve access to education and bridge existing gaps.
EDUTRACK
EduTrack is a mobile-enabled platform that provides real-time tracking and support for education in emergencies. The platform enables educators, caregivers, and communities in crisis-affected areas, such as the BAY States (Borno, Adamawa, Yobe) and the Northwest (Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina), to monitor children's educational progress, ensuring continuous learning during crises. Additionally, it serves as a centralized repository for validated educational data, offering valuable insights for research and improving education delivery.
EduHero Education Challenge
The EduHero Innovation Challenge encourages youth-led innovation by fostering creativity and problem-solving among young people. It challenges youth to create solutions that address the educational needs of their peers in underserved regions. This initiatives directly responds to the gaps in educational access, emphasizing that youth-led innovation can drive a more inclusive and sustainable educational future.
EduConnect-AI
EduConnect-Al is a groundbreaking solution that harnesses Al and solar-powered clean energy to provide sustainable educational solutions in remote, off-grid areas. It enables children and teachers to access digital learning materials and Al-powered educational tools, even in locations without reliable electricity. By deploying this Al-powered platform, GOALPrime is helping ensure that remote communities are not left behind in the global educational race. EduConnect-Al is scheduled for deployment in the 3rd Quarter of 2025.
