About Me

Additionally, increased quality primary school education provides skills in literacy and numeracy resulting in a direct impact on poverty and hunger. “Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.” Kofi Annan. The role of the physical environment can be so important in school settings; that it is sometimes referred to as the third teacher (after parents and teachers). Several Researches has shown that not only do children learn better in the correct settings, but teachers also perform and are motivated more too.

Moreover, our education program is envisaged to stimulates these cultural changes so that pupils and other vulnerable children from poor slums will be encouraged to go to school and be supported to access some of the basic needs they require in ife i.e. consistently free daily meals to all students learning to strive in securing and providing free uniforms to children whose family cannot afford them; Unfortunately, the structure that should receive the Laboratory and part of form 3, 4 and computer room has not been built; the first 2 classes has been built and hosting 37 students though floors, windows and doors are incomplete and the school has no apparatus equipment’s to support the laboratory sessions with the students.

Additionally, increased quality primary school education provides skills in literacy and numeracy resulting in a direct impact on poverty and hunger. This is seen particularly in slums and rural areas where employment opportunities might be rare, and education enables people to make better use of available resources, such as land productivity or managing household budgets. “Education is a human right with immense power to transform.
