What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Olayinka Adeosun, a teacher from Ilupeju Junior Grammar School, Lagos, expressed the transformative impact of the ongoing training. “The training has been a real eye-opener to the vast opportunities within Space Science and education. I’ve gained so much knowledge about space education and its relevance to our development. It is crucial for the government, alongside other key stakeholders, to recognise the importance of this field and take deliberate steps toward integrating space science into Nigeria’s broader science education curriculum. Doing so will not only advance our educational system but also position the country to better harness the benefits of space technology and research.”

The teachers were showcased during a global educators’ programme organised jointly by IHS and LSI in Lagos. Executive Director of LSI, Kaci Heinz, revealed that over 200 teachers had applied for the program, but only ten from Nigeria were selected to join another group of ten from Brazil.

The training, part of LSI’s Global Educators Programme, spans 12 months, with the first six months conducted in Houston, Texas, and the remaining months taking place in Nigeria, running until December 2024.
