FG empowers students nationwide with real-time online learning platform
The Federal Ministry of Education has launched a nationwide program called Inspire Live(s) to offer real-time online classes for students throughout the country. This platform provides live lessons for Junior and Senior Secondary School students every weekday. This initiative is part of the Ministry’s plan to ensure that all students have access to daily instructional content, regardless of their location.
The Ministry has stated that classes are held from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and are conducted by certified master teachers using Cisco Webex. At the Junior Secondary School (JSS) level, subjects offered include Mathematics, English Language, Basic Science, Agricultural Science, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Civic Education, French, History, and others.
For Senior Secondary School (SSS) students, the curriculum includes Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Economics, Technical Drawing, Civic Education, and additional subjects.
The Honourable Minister of Education, Chief (Dr.) Maruf Tunji Alausa has confirmed that the rollout is now fully operational. The Ministry also stated that the platform will be extended to all classes, from Primary 1 to Senior Secondary 3, as the implementation progresses across the nation.

Expanding classroom access through a central platform for students
The Ministry said that the program addresses long-standing gaps in classroom coverage in several states. Many schools have a limited number of subject teachers, causing uneven access to core subjects throughout the term. With one central platform delivering daily lessons, students in different regions can receive the same coursework at the same time.
The arrangement helps schools in remote or low-resource areas connect to subjects they do not offer. For schools without teachers in certain subjects, streamed lessons provide structured content from the Ministry’s chosen instructors. This keeps learning schedules consistent across different states.
The timetable provides schools with a regular daily schedule. As teachers deliver lessons online, staff at the schools can oversee students during each lesson. This setup helps schools keep their usual routines while connecting to the central system.
For the rollout, the Ministry has asked all Education Commissioners to appoint State Focal Officers to coordinate activities for the program. Schools must share information with principals, ensure that ICT facilities are working, and provide internet access for students attending live classes. Principals need to manage the registration process through the Inspire support channels.

This announcement was made by Boriowo Folasade, the Director of Press and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Education.
