Item Literacy and virtual learning in the new normal: implications for quality educational access in Nigeria(Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, 2023) Omoregie, C. O.This paper aims at explaining the concepts that have been added to literacy literature given the change that was brought about by the use of virtual learning. Even when the borders and management of the classroom setting have been expanded by the virtual reality, learners and instructors at all levels still have to be conscious of the guides to learning on the basis of human centredness. Literacy can be conceptualised as skills, attitude and competencies in individuals and groups of people as they relate with others in the community. The issues that are discussed are the reality of new normal and its implications for virtual learning. This discussion was done with the hindsight of what literacy was before the emergence of the new normal and virtual learning. Since curriculum development and policy formulation for implementation in learning situations may not meet up with the high demands of the virtual learning in the new normal, the paper suggests that there is need to strengthen the non - formal strategies for supporting learning in educational system. That is, in between the rigid formal system and overtly loose virtual learning there should be some sort of regulation.Item Mapping a Multiple Frameworks for Financing Literacy in Nigeria(2019-07) Ojokheta, K.O.; Omokhabi, S. U.UNESCO (2009) contends that “literacy is still one of the most neglected education goals in many countries, especially among the poorest nations”. This is reflected in the poor financial allocation to it in many poorest nations, especially African countries with particular reference to Nigeria. Besides, there is a lack of a holistic framework for financing literacy in the country. This paper, therefore, advocates the urgent need for the adoption of multiple sources of financing literacy in Nigeria and therefore maps out the framework for achieving this advocacy. The paper begins with the discussion on problems of financing literacy in Nigeria. It provides justification for multiple sources of financing literacy in the country and thereafter discusses the experiences of other lands in financing literacy. The framework for achieving multiple sources of financing literacy in Nigeria is also discussed. The paper was rounded-off with the submission that financing literacy in Nigeria should be the business of all. Therefore, no one should be left out in financing literacy to ensure its sustainability in NigeriaItem Lifelong learning targets of education 2030 agenda and policy-implementation modalities in Nigeria(2018) Ojokheta, K.O.; Omokhabi, A. A.Education 2030 Agenda, popularly tagged the "Incheon Declaration ", is the new vision of education agreed upon by over I, 600 participants from 160 countries at World Education Forum held in Republic of Korea from 19-22 May, 2015 with the theme “Towards inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all". This paper critically examined the lifelong learning opportunities for all targets of the Agenda and discussed policy directions and implementation modalities for achieving the cardinal focus areas of the targets. The paper began with the examination of the components of access, equity and inclusion, quality and learning outcomes, and lifelong learning for all opportunities. It also examined the lifelong learning opportunities targets of the Agenda and identified the pillars upon which the targets are anchored. The recommendations on policy direction and implementation modalities for each of the pillars were suggested. The paper was concluded with the submission that adult education, adult learning and training opportunities, literacy, education for sustainable development, global citizenship education framework must be given utmost priority in order to achieve the targets of the lifelong learning opportunities for all in NigeriaItem Organisation and management of literacy programmes(2018) Egunyomi, A. A.; Omokhabi, A. A.Organisation and management of literacy programmes are very germane to the success of literacy delivery. It is against this background that this paper examined strategies that Nigeria needs to put in place for the revitalization of literacy programmes. The paper concluded that for education to enrich an individuals’ knowledge and develop his/her potentials to prepare for future challenges in an ever-changing world, education, particularly literacy, ought to be effectively and efficiently organised and managedItem Literacy: The missing link in boko haram insurgency(Department of Adult Education, University of Ibadan, 2019-07) Akanji, T. A.; Omoregie, C. O.In spite of the efforts of governments and international organisations infighting insurgents and insurgencies as exemplified by the Boko Haram war in Nigeria, there are some missing links. Efforts like recruiting armed officers and expending money to buy arms and ammunitions are but mere acts; to fight insurgency there is the need to institute a proper and workable process. This process which has been practiced in many instances with sustainable results is called a literacy process. Without this process, insurgents will continue to be with Nigeria as a country, Africa as a continent and the whole world as an entity. This paper therefore identifies a literacy process for fighting insurgency and suggests ways of achieving a peaceful multi-ethnic society like NigeriaItem Existentialist perspective of literacy promotional campaigns(Department of Adult Education University of Ibadan, 2018) Omoregie, C. O.; Abiona, A. I.Advances have been made in the formal educational system with the incursion of the private sector. Despite this progress, adult literacy which is driven mostly by the non-formal sector still needs more promotional efforts by individuals and groups instead of relying on government efforts and development partner activities. This paper argues that to start from the premise that everybody knows is not only a fallacy but also an undermining factor for all literacy promotional campaignsItem Literacy for conscientization: a framework for voter education in enhancing sustainable democratic governance in Nigeria(Centre for Higher Education Studies, UNIPORT, 2017) Omoregie, C. O.; Adedokun, N. A.The Nigerian political system lacks a virile democratic culture as characterized by general political apathy and voter apathy especially among the illiterate adult population. There is lack of effective participation in the political process by the Nigerian citizens as a reflection of the poverty of political literacy. The grassroots people in Nigeria are yet to be adequately conscientized to be conscious of their rights in terms of critical awareness of the social, economic and political conditions which impoverish them. Conscientization leads to people organizing themselves to participate in democratic governance so as to change their social, economic and political realities. Thus, the significant impact of political literacy facilitated by voter education to empower the citizens for effective participation in the political process cannot be overemphasized. This paper examines literacy for conscientization as a framework for voter education in enhancing sustainable democratic governance in Nigeria.
