My New post

New blogger

              Hi every one, my name is Janet ADEBO. This is my first time blogging, I must say its been very interesting and a fascinating experience for me.  I see that learning is real fun especially when you have the right tools to help you learn and there is truly no end to it!

Brief Professional Details

        I currently work with the World Bank under the Education Global Practice as a Program Assistant. I have over 17 years work experience out of which I would say 12 years working with the Education Sector in Africa ( West and Central Africa), where I have worked at grassroots level and promoting behavioral change among primary and secondary school students.

             I finished my graduate programs from the University of Abuja, Nigeria and Higher National Diploma from Kwara State Polytechnic in Nigeria.

Myself

            Driven by passion to be a teacher and continue with ambitions of a great mentor to others. As a young girl from a poor background and a local community, I was fortunate to free state scholarship and tuition for my undergraduate education ( although in a different pathway). 

            Three years after graduation, I was employed by Action-aid International Nigeria under the Global partnership for Education (GPE); to support the activities of ensuring that every girl and boy have access to quality basic Education in Nigeria. 

               Joining the World Bank where I had opportunities to work with state actors and gatekeepers in the education sector was an eye opener that  helped me connect the dots in my life. I know that success can and will be achieved if you are determined, unbroken, ready and willing to learn ( see video below).

           Therefore, these experiences became a driving force for me to learn more. IOLS will provide the platform and open up opportunities for new ideas on how to engage stakeholders, facilitate discussions and advocate for the use of emerging technology ( e.g Telephone, tablet and computers) in Nigeria  and other African Countries. It will create the avenue for easy access to education and enhance not just quality but education growth, through inclusive ideas of learning to be able to face current global development challenges.

          I am looking forward to a very exciting learning experience from all. Thank you for opening my mind and brain to this wonderful tool!
