MOBILE TEACHING AID

1. The major problems affecting educational setup in basic,science and secondary (high) school levels are inadequate and ineffective teaching materials, instructional materials,archaic inherited conventional educational modules and laboratories with high cost of imported science and teaching auxiliaries resulting into high cost of education,under performance of students and low value for money spent on education. Interestingly,the Covid19 pandemic lockdown around the World has created very wide disruptions and gaps in education.
2. With deep cognizance of above problems,an innovative multifunctional mobile teaching aid solution was invented for teaching, learning, demonstration,practical experimentation as well as intervention laboratory in basic,science and secondary(high) schools.The invention which is mobile and flexible is a game changer that will lead to improved quality of educational deliveries and reduces capital flight.
3. When scaled up by virtual,digitization and social media deployment and outreaches globally,it quicken recovery from lost educational ground,enhances students and teachers performance index and create jobs and wealth globally.

The Mobile Teaching Aid which is a home-grown and purpose-built  invention specifically targeted at the Nigerian educational system especially at the basic,science and secondary schools where inadequate and ineffective teaching materials, instructional materials,archaic inherited conventional educational modules and laboratories with high cost of imported science and teaching auxiliaries has been the bane of the educational system.The Covid 19 induced shut down of the schools across Nigeria and around the world has further necessitated the needs of the Mobile Teaching Aid solution as it will be deployed virtually through digitization and social media where the students could learn while at home and this is actually a solution in case of future pandemic and lockdown.The educational problem of Nigeria at the basic,science and secondary level will definitely have this solution as a promising game changer in teaching and learning for improved quality,enhanced students' performance,value for money spent and reduced capital flight.

The invention could be scaled up globally by building capacity and facilities to digitize the innovation for virtual learning,online studies and social media interactions between students and teachers/instructors any where around the world.

The invention relates to science educational demonstrations, experimentation,display and instructional material that aids teaching and learning in basic,science and secondary schools in Nigeria and could be scaled up globally by digitization and virtual learning and social media interactions and platforms. The solution provides a flexible multi functional interfaces for variety of demonstration,display and experimentation on as a single equipment with its customized auxiliaries.It deployment to schools across Nigeria enhances qualitative and effective  education translating into a reduced mass failures in major examination,improved standard,value for money and reduces capital flights through importation.

The product which will be locally produced with locally available materials using locally and simple technical skilled create job for many in Nigeria and around the World and at the same time proffering solution to inadequate educational learning and teaching materials in all the schools population of Nigeria and globally. With the innovation,teacher will deliver and impact stresslessly while the students learn stess-freely and are motivated as well to study.There is also value for money as government and school owner would have value for money as the product shoves away high cost and capital flight in purchasing instructional materials,laboratories and consumable abroad. With the product given to schools,there would be training workshop and capacity building for the teachers which further strengthen their capacity to deliver educational services.

The standard of education in countries including Nigeria has being predicated on inherited method of learning thus depending on imported high foreign teaching and learning instructional materials,laboratories and other educational auxiliary materials.This has resulted into poor performance of both teachers in service deliveries and the students in term of their performance indexes.Also there are high cost of administering these schools due to capital flight for foreign exchanges. The COVID19 break in education is also a gap created which this invention could help fill.With this invented product, it will be locally produced at lower costs to cover all the school populations.

The invention was achieved in the University (Federal University of Technology,Minna,Niger State,Nigeria) where I studied and eventually became a staff(Academic/researcher/Inventor/University Patent Officer). The product was scaled up after been assessed,critiqued and recommended by the relevant authorities such the Federal Ministry of Education and National Educational Research and Development Council(NERDC).The product had overwhelming recommendations and thus was granted Patent by the President of Nigeria.The Product was then piloted in the host state of Niger State and Kaduna state has keyed in by purchasing over four hundred units for her schools in 2019.Since then, a lot of other state governments and educational stakeholders aware of the new invention had indicated interests to purchase more for schools but funding was always the clog in the wheel of the full commercialization of the veritable invention in the University as part of the Intellectual Property commercial assets.Educational Non-Governmental Organizations are also market/grant/award prospects.

The work is unique as it has dymistified  the seldom expensive and not
exactly too effective and absolute teaching aid and convectional laboratories
for teaching and learning.The highly innovative invention came up with a
single interface that provides classroom situation of laboratories, instructional materials,demonstrations and display of knowledge more
effectively,stress-freely and resulted oriented in service delivery and performance indexes of students.The equipment is very flexible,mobile,user friendly and veritable in impacting knowledge for the basic,science and secondary educational system globally.

The solution is currently serving Schools in Niger and Kaduna State.In the next year,the solution hope to serve Lagos,Nasarawa,Kano,Borno and Zamfara State and the Federal Government special intervention for schools in Nigeria.In the next five years,the invention project to cover the whole of the classrooms of all Nigerian Schools and the solution would have been scaled up for Virtual learning,digitization and social media networks for learning in Nigeria and Globally
