Parents and teachers play a crucial role in the development of every child. But there are times when it can be difficult to get the two groups to work together. Talking with other parents, family members, or even your child themselves can help break the ice and start a conversation between you and your teacher or parent.

A lot of teachers are getting unfavorable feedback from parents about how their children are being treated in school. This can be a cause for concern, especially when a teacher is not able to provide the best education for students. What can be done to bridge the gap between parents and teachers?

Schools are always trying to find ways to engage students and parents. The two most important people in a child’s education should be able to work together for their child’s success.

Learning Continuity Planning

Learning Continuity Planning is a set of procedures that should be in place to ensure the continuity of training for an organization.

There are three steps that should be followed for Learning Continuity Planning:

1) Plan and define learning objectives,

2) Identify the competencies required to achieve the learning objectives,

3) Design a learning plan.

The first step is crucial as it helps in setting up an organization’s goals and objectives. The second step helps in understanding how knowledge can be acquired and how it can be applied. The third step is about designing a process for acquiring knowledge which includes what’s needed for success, evaluation of performance, and feedback on progress.

Learning Continuity Planning is a process of planning and implementing an effective plan that ensures the continuity of learning.

The process involves identifying, assessing and managing the risks to learning; planning for contingencies; developing a response strategy; and communicating with stakeholders.

Learning Continuity Planning is important for organizations because it helps ensure that the organization can continue to learn as it changes or adapts. It also helps stakeholders understand what will happen during a change or transition, which allows them to prepare for any potential impact on their work or personal lives.

What is a Learning Continuity Plan?

A Learning Continuity Plan is a strategic approach that ensures that the skills, competencies and knowledge of an organization are maintained over time.

The plan also helps to ensure that the workforce is always up to date with new skills and knowledge. It helps to avoid any gaps in the workforce which could lead to increased costs and inefficiency.

A Learning Continuity Plan can be used by all types of organizations, from small businesses to large corporations, from government institutions to educational institutions.

Learning Continuity Plans have a number of benefits for organizations including: Increase employee retention- employees are more likely to stay with an organization if they know their skills will be relevant for them in the future. Increase employee productivity- employees are more likely to be productive if they know their skills will be relevant for them in the future. Reduce on-boarding time- employees are more likely to accept new positions if they know their skill sets will help them get up and running right awayReduce attrition- employees have more confidence in the company and feel valued by the company if they know their skills will be useful in their future position Disadvantages of Job Security – employees are more likely to become complacent and may take lower wage offers if an employee leaves the company.

A university don, Prof. Sunday Olatunji, has argued that Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be made a compulsory course for all students in higher institutions across Nigeria, irrespective of their field of study

He also called on Nigeria and Africa to build an intelligent, inclusive and technologically sovereign future to elevate human potential through artificial intelligence.

To achieve these goals, the Professor of Artificial Intelligence urged the nation and continent to: institutionalize capacity building for AI excellence; develop functional policy and ethical frameworks for responsible AI; build artificial intelligence literacy and workforce development; make AI a general course in all higher institutions; promote no-code

AI and machine learning pathways for beginners; develop public-private-academic partnerships; and build inclusive and culturally grounded AI.Prof. Olatunji, who is ranked by the National Universities Commission (NUC) as the Best AI Researcher in Nigeria (2025), made these statements on Tuesday, while delivering the 53rd Inaugural Lecture of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, held at the University Multipurpose Hall.

The lecture was titled, Symbiosis of Mind and Machine: Harnessing AI for National Development.He stressed that artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction but a reality that permeates every stratum of human life. “Just as Computer Appreciation became a national requirement decades ago, the time has come for AI Appreciation as a compulsory General Studies (GST) course.

This course should introduce all students, regardless of discipline, to aspects of AI including: AI fundamentals, machine learning concepts, applications of AI in their respective fields, ethical implications of AI, and its role in national development, among others,” he said.

The lecturer called on governments to establish AI innovation hubs in all tertiary institutions and research centres; promote cross-disciplinary collaboration integrating computing; provide national research grants focused on AI solutions for local challenges; and recruit and train faculty specialised in AI, machine learning, data science, robotics, and computational intelligence.

Prof. Olatunji allayed fears that AI could replace humans or end humanity, positing that, “Many fear that the rise of artificial intelligence signals the decline of human relevance – that the machine might replace the mind. But history teaches otherwise. Every technological revolution – from the printing press to electricity, from the internet to AI – has not diminished humanity but rather redefined it.

Today, AI diagnoses diseases, predicts the weather, translates languages, and protects nations.

Prof. Olatunji has garnered from far and wide and commended his role in setting up the Faculty of Computing and for doing a yeoman’s job as its founding Dean.

The Vice Chancellor also noted that Prof. Olatunji is a well-respected and accomplished academic and researcher who has carved an enviable niche for himself in the digital world of computing and artificial intelligence.

The Federal Government is set to formally sign an agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities following weeks of negotiations.

The development may be linked to the 40 per cent salary increase for academic staff proposed by the FG last month and accepted by the union.

A circular issued by the Ministry of Education invited Vice-Chancellors and Registrars of federal universities to witness the signing ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, January 14, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Tertiary Education Trust Fund Conference Hall, Abuja.

The circular, dated January 5, 2026, and referenced FME/IS/UNI/ASUU/C.11/Vol.V/82, was signed by the Director of University Education, Rakiya Ilyasu, on behalf of the Minister of Education.

It was titled ‘Invitation to the Ceremony for the Signing of Agreement Between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities.’

The circular was sighted by our correspondent on Saturday and confirmed by the Ministry’s Director, Press and Public Relations, Boriowo Folasade.

“This signing represents a critical milestone in promoting industrial harmony and improving teaching and learning in our universities.

“It also reaffirms the Federal Government’s commitment to the sustainable development of education in line with the Renewed

Attendance at the ceremony was declared mandatory for all invited university administrators, highlighting the importance attached to the agreement and its implementation.

Last month, the industrial crisis that had burdened Nigeria’s university system for 16 years following the 2009 Federal Government–ASUU Agreement saw the union accept the Federal Government’s proposed 40 per cent salary increase for academic staff.

It was reported that the deal, effective from January 1, 2026, would be reviewed after three years

Why FG Shouldn’t Be Blamed for Non-Implementation of Council Autonomy

Under the new terms, professors will earn a pension equivalent to their final annual salary upon retirement at age 70. The agreement also provides for the establishment of a National Research Council to fund research with at least one per cent of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product.

Other provisions include improved funding for libraries, laboratories, equipment and staff development, greater university autonomy, and the election of academic leaders, with only professors eligible to serve as deans and provosts. The pact also guarantees that no staff member involved in past industrial actions will be victimised.
