Dear Inyor4mr

The Wikimedia User Group Nigeria community support fund committee has further reviewed your application, and they have some follow-up questions and requests regarding your application:

  • What is your strategy for this program? How would you recruit the teachers?
  • Have you contacted the Ministry of Education for approval to release teachers?
  • From your proposal, you never indicated if yourself or any of your co-facilitators are certified to handle this project.
  • What days of the week would this event happen?

the strategy is to recruit teachers showing them improvement of wikipedia in the classroom and how they can use it as materials for learning which is required by UNSCO. I didn't inform the ministry because of the process all I do is inform the head of National Library Kaduna state office that has most relations with secondary school school in Kaduna. This is going to be a pilot students on how the teach will accept it before a formal implementation that will involve the ministry of education.
Again, I am certified Wikipedia in classroom with the knowledge with Atiba ismail will be one Facilitator on the project.
The program physical training will be weekend to enable the teachers participants. Inyor4mr (talk) 09:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I went through the list of certified trainers and your name was missing on the list. Although Atiba Ismail is certified, he never endorsed the proposal as a proof of his presence. Also, Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom is a project targeted at teachers directly. You are yet to answer the questions on what days of the week the event would hold. Have you selected the teachers? If yes, have they agreed to come on specified days of the week? If you are yet to get the teachers for the event, you need to do that first. Ashioma (WUGN) (talk) 14:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
I was part of the just concluded reading wikipedia in classroom Lagos which I learned about what is expected on the training. Yes, the project is targeted at teachers in secondary schools in kaduna. Select teachers through Google form than choose the specific data for the physical section and subsequence online's trainings. Inyor4mr (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
