ED TECH CONVERSATIONS WITH ADERONKE EPISODE 3

Where education meets innovation, the real conversation begins. In Episode 4 of edTech CONVERSATIONS with ADERONKE, we explore what it really takes to build and scale education solutions in Nigeria. A great education product is only one part of the equation. The reality of education is much more complex. Learner circumstances, motivation, cultural context, market behaviour, infrastructure, existing business models and external forces can all determine whether an innovation is actually adopted and creates meaningful impact. In this conversation, we discuss: Why over one million students continue to fail the matriculation examination in Nigeria each year Why a great education product doesn’t automatically guarantee learning outcomes How factors outside the classroom can affect a learner’s ability to engage and succeed How COVID-19 accelerated the adoption of online learning and alternative education solutions Why founders and investors need to understand the Nigerian market before building or investing in EdTech The importance of understanding the existing business model and how people actually buy education Why some education businesses may need to combine technology with physical, “brick and mortar” models Why education remains fundamental to Nigeria’s development and why improving the sector requires collective participation This episode is a conversation about more than technology. It’s about understanding the people, systems and realities that technology is being built for. Watch the full conversation and join us as we explore what it takes to build education solutions that can truly work in the Nigerian context. edTech CONVERSATIONS with ADERONKE A podcast exploring education, technology, innovation and the future of learning.
