  "account": "The Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria is creating an AI-powered lesson system to generate classroom resources for teachers, aiming to modernize teaching practices and professional standards across the nation. This initiative, developed from standardized lesson plans prepared in cooperation with teachers from public and private schools in Nigeria's six geopolitical zones, was announced by GMind Academy in a Tuesday statement, following discussions between the organization and TRCN on AI integration in education. TRCN's Registrar, Dr Ronke Soyombo, highlighted that the standardized lesson plans would assist teachers and serve as the foundation for an AI-powered system capable of generating classroom materials. Soyombo emphasized that technology should support teachers, not replace them, stating that AI could aid teachers with lesson preparation and differentiated instruction while they remain responsible for providing human and emotional support to learners. GMind Academy, led by Dr Success Ojo, plans to train 774 AI Adoption Specialists free of charge, one for each Nigerian local government area, to serve as local advocates for AI adoption in teaching, learning, and school administration. Participants will receive two months of free access to GMind's AI platform to gain practical skills and demonstrate AI applications in schools. GMind also proposes integrating AI competency into teachers' continuous professional development through its Certified AI-Ready Teacher programme, potentially granting recognized professional development credits upon completion and subject to TRCN approval. TRCN is also enhancing teacher certification, child protection, and examination administration processes, expanding its digital testing infrastructure and implementing an accelerated teacher professionalization pathway.",
