Abstract The preschool age represents a critical period of rapid physical, cognitive and psychosocial development in children. The quality and intensity of the care, nutrition, and stimulation that children receive during this time largely determine the level of physical and cognitive development they can achieve. This paper examines the potential challenges and learning opportunities that self-directed learning environments offer teachers from the perspective of teaching safety education in early childhood education. The challenges facing the early childhood education sector in the country today are the lack of educational facilities in schools, the lack of a structured curriculum, inadequate funding and the quality of teacher training and qualifications. This white paper addresses these challenges. Suggestions have been made to address these issues.

Abstract Technology has influenced teaching, yet we know little about physical educators’ predispositions and use in Universal Basic Education (UBE). One of the goals for integrating information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching physical education is to enhance teaching and learning practices, thereby improving the quality of education at this level. However, in most developing countries like Nigeria, the potential of ICT to support pedagogy is yet to be fully realized. Up until now, most of the attention, both in policy and research, has been on how the lack of infrastructure and access to technology affect the use of ICT in Universal Basic Education (UBE). So this paper x-rays: how ICT in physical education is designed as a tool for increasing instructional effectiveness in UBE, the impact of ICT use on classroom teaching and learning in UBE, and the path towards effective implementation of ICT in Universal Basic Education. Recommendations were made to effect the appropriate use of information and communication technology in teaching physical education in the universal basic education programme.

Abstract ABSTRACT Sports play a crucial role in the holistic development of youth in the Sub-West African region, but there are numerous challenges that hinder their effective use. Infrastructure deficits, limited access to training grounds, and inadequate funding for sports programmes and infrastructure are some of the main obstacles. Cultural norms and gender disparities also pose significant challenges, particularly affecting girls' access to sports and creating an imbalance between male and female youth opportunities. Additionally, a lack of awareness and education about the holistic advantages of sports further hinders its integration into mainstream youth development agendas. However, there are several prospects for transformative change, including investment in infrastructure development, targeted funding from governments, NGOs, and corporate entities, gender-inclusive policies and programmes, community engagement strategies, and technological advancements. Gender-inclusive policies and programmes, coupled with community engagement strategies, can promote equal opportunities for girls and boys in sports. Awareness campaigns and educational programmes can help dispel misconceptions and promote the benefits of sports in youth development. Technological advancements, such as online coaching resources, virtual training modules, and mobile applications, can reach a wider youth demographic, even in remote areas. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders, including government bodies, non-profit organisations, educational institutions, sports federations, and private sector entities, are essential in addressing these challenges and capitalising on the identified prospects. A cohesive approach that integrates policy reforms, sustainable funding mechanisms, community involvement, and robust educational initiatives can unlock the transformative power of sports in fostering holistic youth development across the Sub-West African region.
