The Jigawa State government has given about 8, 000 e-learning tablets to secondary school students in the state.
This came after a 5-week remedial programme and pilot testing of e-learning approach, where 1,000 students, 61 teachers and 27 student-technicians were trained in the art of e-learning and e-teaching.
 A statement made available to Daily Trust said Governor Muhammad Badaru approved the deployment of over 8, 000 e-learning tablets tagged e-Mallam, to all senior secondary school students and teachers across the state.
The 9.6 inch and 9 inch devices for teachers and students respectively come with pre-installed educational applications designed to enhance learning for students across the state, according to the statement.
Earlier at the inauguration of the e-Mallam pilot programme, the governor said the move became necessary because of the declining level of education his administration inherited from the previous regime with WAEC failure rate of over 95 per cent.
