Technology-enabled education transformation: A value-driven framework for phased digital platform implementation in the Nigerian basic school system

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive framework for phased digital transformation in Nigeria's basic education system, examining the two-year implementation of the Digital Platform for Education Revitalization (DiPER) across 11,462 public and private schools. Through mixed-methods analysis of 53.1 million platform transactions and 5,000 stakeholder surveys, the research demonstrates how value-driven sequencing, beginning with high-impact modules, achieved 94% public school and 82% private school adoption. The framework establishes four implementation principles: (1) pain-point prioritization, (2) demonstrated value creation, (3) competence scaffolding, and (4) organic expansion. Results show the initial focus on students’ result computation reduced processing time by 92% and errors by 95%, creating adoption momentum that facilitated the successful rollout of five subsequent modules. The study contributes actionable strategies for education technology implementation in resource-constrained environments, with particular relevance for sub-Saharan African contexts.
