Background of the Study
Quantum computing has emerged as a revolutionary field, with the potential to transform various sectors including healthcare, finance, and education. While its integration into higher educational institutions has been the focus of many studies, there is a significant gap in exploring its feasibility at the secondary school level. Government Science School, Bauchi State, provides a unique opportunity to examine the challenges and potential of introducing quantum computing education at the secondary school level. In today’s fast-evolving technological landscape, preparing students for future technological advancements, such as quantum computing, can play a pivotal role in fostering innovation and equipping the younger generation with critical skills. However, secondary schools in Nigeria, especially in remote areas, may face numerous barriers to implementing quantum computing, including a lack of infrastructure, qualified instructors, and awareness of the technology.
The potential for introducing quantum computing concepts to students at an early stage, especially through the design of tailored curricula and resources, could position Nigeria as a leader in the field of quantum education. This study aims to explore the feasibility of implementing quantum computing education in secondary schools, focusing on Government Science School, Bauchi State, as a case study. The research will address the challenges of introducing cutting-edge technologies in the education sector and investigate the benefits of such initiatives.
Statement of the Problem
While quantum computing holds great promise for transforming various industries, Nigerian secondary schools have not yet integrated this advanced technology into their curricula. The lack of resources, inadequate infrastructure, and insufficient teacher training are major barriers to introducing quantum computing to students. The feasibility of integrating quantum computing into secondary education in Nigeria, particularly in Bauchi State, remains underexplored. This study seeks to investigate these barriers and evaluate the practicality of implementing quantum computing education at the secondary school level.
