Germany didn’t become an industrial powerhouse by sending everyone to university. They built something smarter. It’s called Ausbildung, a structured apprenticeship system where young people earn while they learn inside real companies. A 17-year-old in Germany can train to become: • a mechatronics engineer • an industrial technician • an automotive systems expert • a precision machinist • a medical equipment technician They are paid during training. They graduate with globally respected skills. And many of them end up earning more than university graduates. Over 50% of German youth pass through this system. Now look at Nigeria. We push everyone into universities. Millions graduate every year. But the country is still importing basic technical expertise. We have degrees but we don’t have enough skills. This is why we are studying the German Ausbildung model closely to implement in the South East. Because the South East must lead Africa’s skills revolution. Imagine a structured apprenticeship system across Aba, Nnewi, Onitsha, Enugu and beyond where young people can train to become: • industrial fabricators • automotive engineers • robotics technicians • electronics specialists • renewable energy installers • precision manufacturing experts Training will happen inside real companies. With structured certification, modern tools and clear career paths. Not the informal “Igba Boy” system, but a world-class apprenticeship ecosystem. The South East already has the largest concentration of indigenous manufacturers and traders in Africa. What we need now is structure, technology, and certification. If Germany can power Europe’s manufacturing through apprenticeships, there is no reason the South East cannot power Africa’s industrial future. The next generation of millionaires in Africa will not only be software founders. Many will be master craftsmen, engineers, and industrial builders. And when Africa finally fixes its skills crisis, history may remember that the revolution started in the South East.

All the youngsters here are writing JAMB next month. You remember in 2023 when we took my village youngsters from historic 70% failures in JAMB to now 100% success in JAMB? Since then we have maintained the excellent results year by year. The senator representing my senatorial district Osita Ngwu is funding and backing it fully which it has now grown to be the biggest and the most important academic program of my senatorial district Enugu West. Every youngster is engaged. More than 4000 youngsters are in participation and they are being drilled day and night to close their academic gaps. Any student that scores 300 and above in JAMB gets automatic fully funded scholarship with monthly upkeep since 2023. We have so many of them in first class CGPA today with 2 students at CGPA of 4.94. We are collectively restoring hope to this generation and building the greatest workforce from Africa and South East is where the future begins.

Our current education system is not designed for global competitiveness, rather for exams. From primary school to university, Nigerian students spend years mastering how to pass Common entrance, BECE, WAEC, JAMB, Post-UTME, Semester exams etc. But the world outside Nigeria is not asking: “Can you pass an exam?” The world is asking: • Can you build things? • Can you solve complex problems? • Can you innovate? • Can you compete globally? Look at the countries dominating the modern economy: Germany – engineering and manufacturing South Korea – electronics and industrial technology China – global manufacturing powerhouse United States – innovation and research Their education systems are deeply connected to industry, skills, and innovation. Nigeria’s system is connected to syllabus completion and exam performance. That’s why we produce millions of graduates every year that struggle to find a job. Why are we educating young Nigerians for the world that actually does not exist? Until we redesign our education system around problem-solving, technical mastery, and industry relevance, we will keep producing certificates instead of competitiveness.

I’m optimistic that we can achieve 99.6% literacy level in the South East within 10 years. ISEE will do everything humanly possible to achieve this. However, our current and future governors should join and radicalize education. Let’s separate education from politics, because that is the only way we can achieve greatness and lead the future of Africa.

I think having a regional basic education curriculum will not be out of place. Relying on NERDC’s curriculum has set everyone 20 years behind civilization. Since we now have regional development commissions like the SEDC, NDDC etc, it should be encouraged. What do you think?

South East Educators Conference billboard one. South East is where the future of education in Africa is being redefined.

Once we successfully build a strong mathematics foundation in the South East, we will introduce STEM. Mathematics is the foundation of everything we want to achieve in the region in 10 years. How i wish we have a government who will truly care for our children and help them.

We've started recording foundational Maths learning videos for all the children in the South East who will participate in the South East Maths Olympiad 2027. We want every child to have a strong foundation in mathematics before participating in the competition regardless of their school quality. Those difficult concepts will be explained in such a way that even a struggling child will understand it so well and fall in-love with mathematics. We will upload it on the portal used for the Olympiad. These videos and supporting learning materials will be available on the portal from 6th of April. Schools, parents, teachers should encourage their students to register for the competition early because we will close the registration once we hit 150k registration to enable us plan properly for the competition. We want our winners to participate in German Maths Olympiad Finals 2027 and International STEM Olympiad 2027. So early planning is critical. The registration link is semo.educare.school/admission-form

@therightanglee Happy birthday bro God choicest blessings on your life. Amen Normally u bad for maths

Uncertainty to Mastery I stayed back in a city when I didn’t plan to. I fought when it didn't make sense. I built when I had nothing. And somewhere in the middle of pain, uncertainty, and survival, I found my calling. I became MASTER CHISOM. #birthday #masterchisom #grace

@winexviv @Sir_Dubem thank you so much

I want to appreciate Chidubem Eziedo @Sir_Dubem for supporting us with N2.5 million for the children's feeding in Rome for International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale. He promised few days back and fulfilled it today. You can see it on our public ledger isee.ng/public-ledger

I think we may need to host a South East Maths Conference where we will gather all the maths teachers in all schools in the region. We critically need them to define the future of the region. We will also start maths evangelism in all schools, churches, towns and villages soon.

Here are the clear objectives of ISEE (Intervention for South East Education) 1.To promote access to quality education for children and young people across the South-East region of Nigeria by supporting initiatives that improve learning outcomes in schools and communities. 2.To design and implement programs that strengthen mathematics, science, and technology education, helping students develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills necessary for the modern world. 3.To identify, nurture, and support academically talented students, especially those from underserved communities, through competitions, mentorship, scholarships, and educational enrichment programs. 4.To support teachers and educators by providing training, professional development opportunities, and resources that improve classroom teaching and student learning. 5.To encourage community participation in education, fostering partnerships among parents, schools, civil society, and the private sector to improve the quality of education in the region. 6.To conduct research, collect data, and provide insights on the state of education in the South-East in order to inform policy, guide interventions, and promote evidence-based educational reforms. 7.To organize educational programs, conferences, competitions, and public awareness campaigns that inspire excellence in learning and promote a culture of intellectual curiosity among young people. 8.To collaborate with government agencies, educational institutions, development partners, and philanthropic organizations in designing and implementing initiatives that advance educational development. 9.To support disadvantaged and out-of-school children by facilitating programs that encourage school enrollment, retention, and completion. 10.To promote innovation and the use of technology in education, enabling schools and students to benefit from modern learning tools and digital educational resources. 11.To mobilize resources, grants, donations, and partnerships to support sustainable education initiatives that improve opportunities for young people in the South-East. 12.To advocate for policies and initiatives that strengthen the education system, ensuring that every child in the region has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. What do you think?

I’m happy that the IMO state government hosted the winners of South East Maths Olympiad Senior and Primary category today. They were also a major discussion in their house of assembly. Education is gaining back its place in our society.

Sterling Bank will be giving us N60 million for prizes only towards 2027 South East Maths Olympiad. This is now by far the biggest academic event in the country. We are projecting to have up to 100k students in participation for 2027 and we will also remain transparent in every step. Senior category winner takes N10 million Junior category winner takes N5 million Primary category winner takes N3 million Teachers in each category takes N3 million Schools for each winner takes N5 million Every student that qualifies for round of 45 gets N100k Second position gets N1 million Thirst position gets N500k The winners will represent us in 2027 International STEM Olympiad finals and also 2027 German Maths Olympiad Grand Finale. Participation is FREE for every child who lives or schools in the South East regardless of your nationality or tribe. We are on track to build the greatest workforce from Africa and we will make education highly rewarding and exciting like never seen before.

We’ve commenced the registration for 2027 South East Maths Olympiad. The registration link is semo.educare.school/admission-form We started earlier to give every child opportunity to participate. We will also be physical in every 95 LGA’s and wards in Enugu, IMO, Ebonyi, Anambra, Abia. We will do everything within our power not to leave any child behind. Kindly encourage the children you know to participate. We will also deploy an e-learning platform with useful resources so that less privileged children and children in government schools can catch up with quality fundamental lessons in maths that will push them up very quickly. The goal is to have every child in the South East develop a strong prowess in Maths and completely conquer the fear. We are building the greatest workforce in Africa within 10 years.

I have to contribute an extra N2 million towards the International STEM Olympiad Grand Finale trip in Rome, Italy from July 2nd - 8th for South East Maths Olympiad winners. Our children must shine on the global stage. We will be the greatest workforce in Africa within 10 years. You can view our public ledger here isee.ng/public-ledger The total funds we need for the trip is €32,200 which includes registrations, hotels, tours, visas etc for 7 persons.

@winexviv That will be impressive sir

We need to bring back Who Wants to be a Millionaire weekly Game Show or something more exciting. This can inspire the new generation to learn. We need to give more attention to worthy things that moves our society forward.

Around this time last week, we took pictures with @winexviv in preparation for the final round of the exams, at the end we won both primary and senior secondary category. #Champion primary category #Champion secondary category #South East Mathematics Olympiad (SEMO)
