CodeLagos are looking to hire trainers that will help teach coding at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. Previous programming or technology knowledge won’t be a barrier! Almost any dedicated person can be a CodeLagos Trainer.
Why Teach Code?
As Lagos strive towards an economy in which technology is leveraged to enhance the lives and promote the livelihoods of Lagos State residents, it is important to prepare our citizenry to meet new workforce demands, harness the benefits of technology, and communicate in the language of the future.

To actualize this vision, CodeLagos will employ a multiple-pronged approach, deploying coding education framework across various platforms, including:
- Primary & Secondary Schools – Public/Private
- TertiaryInstitutions
- Public & Private Libraries
- Public Spaces e.g Community Centers
- Online
Coding Education Framework
The Lagos State Ministry of Education, in partnership with the Ministry of Science and Technology, has launched the first state-sanctioned computer programming education framework with clearly stated learning outcomes.
The new coding education framework will provide basic- to proficiency-level competence in Computer Science, Information technology and digital literacy.
Schools
Classes will be set up at Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Institutions. These centers will be facilitated by experienced tutors to deliver the coding education framework in a regular schedule each academic session.
