REVIEWING THE NIGERIAN EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM AS A PANACEA TOWARDS AI ADOPTION IN NIGERIA'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Abstract

This paper looks at how the Nigerian curriculum is now structured and how inadequate it is at educating pupils for the quickly changing technology environment. It looks at how important it is to include artificial intelligence (AI) into the curriculum in order to improve student learning outcomes and give them the tools they need to succeed in the workforce in the future. The article highlights important issues such out-of-date curricula, poor infrastructure, and a shortage of qualified instructors and suggests curriculum improvement, teacher preparation, and improved infrastructure as remedies. It also emphasizes the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, its transformational potential, and the calculated steps needed to successfully incorporate AI into Nigeria's educational system. To enable the successful and long-lasting adoption of AI, both short- and long-term policy actions are recommended.
