Building Resilience in Nigeria's TVET Authorities through Open Distance Learning.
In a significant move to empower youth and strengthen the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector in Nigeria, #COL4D has introduced new standards for open and distance learning (ODL).
Recently, COL has been partnering with Nigeria’s National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) @NBTENigeria to develop and implement frameworks for the effective implementation of open, distance, and flexible e-learning (ODFeL). Currently, 40 institutions in Nigeria have been accredited to offer TVET using ODFeL approaches and technologies, a testament to the importance of this partnership in the development of standards.
These standards aim to create accessible, flexible, and high-quality education for millions of Nigerian students, even in challenging times.
Through this initiative, COL and NBTE are partnering to create a skilled workforce and ensure that education can adapt and thrive regardless of obstacles.
This is a game-changing step toward education that’s resilient, inclusive and future-ready.

SPARC team had the privilege of visiting Husri Village, Hyderabad, today where we engaged with women eager to learn and grow. During our meeting with the local community, we discussed exciting training opportunities in poultry & livestock, kitchen gardening, and cultivating organic vegetables.
The women proudly showcased their work and shared their experiences. We also provided invaluable insights from other communities and successful businesses, inspiring the women to take the next step. Together, we explored opportunities to establish linkages with markets and online businesses, ensuring a sustainable future for their ventures. 🌱
