A foundation focused on education has taken a significant step by paying the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) registration fees for 40 secondary school students in Ekiti State, Nigeria. This initiative is part of a broader five-day training program aimed at equipping students with skills in data science and medical imaging, which are essential for improved healthcare delivery.

The training, held in Ado Ekiti, is designed to introduce students to the practical applications of technology in medicine. According to the Programme Manager, Mr. John Akintayo, the selected beneficiaries were chosen from ten different secondary schools, indicating a broad effort to reach students across the community. The foundation believes that exposing these young learners to advanced technology can motivate them to consider careers in science and tech-related fields.

By investing in the education of these students, the foundation seeks not only to alleviate the financial burdens associated with JAMB registration but also to inspire future generations to pursue careers that can significantly contribute to the health sector. The integration of data science and Artificial Intelligence in medical practices promises to enhance the quality of healthcare, making this initiative a vital contribution to the community’s development and future.
