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 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.
