ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION IN NIGERIAN SECONDARY SCHOOLS:
A narrative review of teacher readiness
The rapid global adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in education offers transformative opportunities to enhance pedagogical practices and optimise student learning outcomes. However, successful AI integration in secondary school classrooms fundamentally depends on teachers' readiness to adopt and apply these technologies effectively. This narrative review systematically synthesises the existing scholarly literature on teacher preparedness for AI integration in Nigerian secondary schools. Through a comprehensive analysis of 28 peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2015 and 2025, the review establishes that Nigerian secondary school teachers demonstrate foundational awareness of AI concepts and tools, yet exhibit critical deficiencies in practical implementation skills. Key barriers include chronic shortages of reliable technological infrastructure, restricted access to structured professional development programmes, and the complete absence of national or institutional policy frameworks to guide AI adoption (Sambo-Magaji et al., 2025; Eke, 2024). The review further identifies urgent intervention priorities: mandatory AI-literacy training modules tailored to subject-specific pedagogy and the urgent formulation of clear, enforceable policy guidelines at both institutional and national levels. By clarifying the multifaceted dimensions of teacher readiness, this paper delivers evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, school administrators, and teacher educators to achieve equitable and sustainable AI integration in Nigerian secondary education.
