SDG 4 - Quality Education

Introduction

Quality Education is to provide inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education that empowers individuals to contribute meaningfully to society. We are deeply committed to raising the standard of education in Nigeria and beyond, believing that access to quality education is the foundation for sustainable development. Redeemer's University is home to a team of dedicated researchers who are focused on improving the quality of education at local, national, and international levels. Through innovative research in curriculum development, teaching methods, and policy recommendations, our experts are working to ensure that educational systems deliver high standards and outcomes for all learners. Their research contributes significantly to the national and continental conversation on how to advance and sustain quality education for future generations.

Our university also serves as a lifelong learning public resource, ensuring that learning extends beyond the classroom. We provide continuous education programs, professional development courses, and open access to knowledge through our extensive library resources. Our well-equipped library offers both physical and digital collections, providing students, faculty, and the public with access to a vast array of academic materials, journals, and databases. This access ensures that individuals can engage in self-directed learning and research, fostering a culture of continuous personal and professional development. Beyond our campus, Redeemer's University is committed to education outreach activities. We engage in community-driven initiatives such as workshops, mentoring programs, and teacher training sessions to support educational development in underserved regions. By partnering with local schools and community organizations, we work to bridge the educational divide, promote literacy, and enhance the overall learning experience in Nigeria.

Through a combination of world-class research, lifelong learning resources, and impactful outreach, Redeemer's University is leading the charge in ensuring that everyone has access to Quality Education. We are dedicated to driving progress in education that will benefit individuals, communities, and society as a whole.

The article explores the adoption of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for the professional development of librarians in Africa, highlighting how these platforms offer an innovative, flexible solution for continuous learning and skills enhancement. The study notes that while MOOCs provide significant opportunities for librarians to upgrade their skills and remain competitive in the evolving digital landscape, their adoption remains low in Africa due to challenges such as limited internet access and lack of awareness. This effort aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities. By embracing MOOCs, African librarians can enhance their professional capabilities and contribute to higher education quality across the continent. To learn more, see Fagbohun et al.
