Why Every Parent Should Enrol Their Child for IT Training Early

Technology shapes everything we do. From how we learn, work, communicate, and manage daily life, digital tools have become part of our foundation. Children who understand technology early are better prepared for the world they will grow into. If you are a parent, this matters to you. IT is no longer optional. It is not a subject reserved for university or professional life. It is now part of everyday literacy, just like reading and writing. Children who start early in Information Technology (IT), coding, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics have a strong head start.

Why IT Skills Matter Early

1. The digital world is their future: Most jobs today already demand basic digital skills. The next generation of jobs will require more. Fields like medicine, engineering, finance, agriculture, transport, and even law are integrating AI, data, and automation.

2. It sharpens thinking: Learning coding and robotics teaches logic, creativity, and problem-solving. Children learn to think in steps, fix errors, and build solutions. These skills apply far beyond computers.

3. Early exposure boosts confidence: When children see they can build something—an app, a robot, a game—they grow in confidence. They stop being passive users of tech and start becoming creators.

4. It prepares them for global competition: The world will not slow down for Nigeria. If we want Nigerian children to compete globally, they must understand the tools that power global innovation.

The Role of AI, Robotics and Coding

AI, robotics and coding are not fads. They are long-term tools shaping economies, governments, and societies. AI powers tools like Google Translate, self-driving cars, fraud detection in banks, and even medical diagnosis. Robotics runs smart factories and powers tools in surgery, farming, and delivery services. Coding is the language behind every app, website, and game your child uses. Your child can learn these things. And the earlier they start, the easier it becomes. Waiting until university is too late.

Why Nigerian Children Cannot Be Left Behind

The world is not waiting. Other countries are already investing in early tech education. So should Nigeria. The gap between children who understand tech and those who do not is growing, and the cost of delay is high.

We already see Nigerians excelling in global tech spaces: Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, co-founder of Andela and Flutterwave, has built platforms used across the world for talent and payments. Silas Adekunle, a Nigerian robotics engineer, created MekaMon, a gaming robot that blends physical and virtual reality. He became one of the highest-paid robotics engineers in the UK at 26. Mark Essien (Founder of Hotels.ng)  built Nigeria’s largest hotel booking platform, which proves that coding skills can solve local problems at scale. Dr. Ola Brown (Founder of Flying Doctors Nigeria) uses drone technology to deliver medical supplies in remote areas, which demonstrates how tech can save lives. These are not isolated stories. They show what is possible. They also raise a question: What if these innovators had never had access to technology? These innovators started somewhere. Early exposure to IT could set your child on a similar path.

Why Start Early?

Young minds absorb knowledge faster. Learning IT as a child helps build problem-solving and logical thinking skills.  It prepares them for high-demand careers in tech, engineering, and data science. It also encourages creativity. Coding lets them build games, apps, or even robots.  

What You Can Do

As a parent, your role is to prepare your child. You do not have to be an expert in IT. You only need to give your child access. That is where eTutors Nigeria Limited comes in. We provide a structured, engaging, and child-friendly environment for early IT education.
