Embrace current trends to remain relevant

The president of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), Prince Adesanya Oduala, has called on all private schools’ proprietors to embrace new trends in the education sector if they want to remain relevant in the education business.

He made the call in Abeokuta recently in his remarks during the Grand Launch and Seminar on the theme ‘Discovering the Genius within the Nigerian Child’ organised by the Universal Concept of Mental Arithmetic System (UCMAS).

He noted that any school proprietor must key into the initiative of developing mental skills in the children.

Isiaka also enjoined other relevant stakeholders to adopt the programme for the benefits of the children.

The Ogun State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Mrs Modupe Mujota, promised the readiness of government to support the programme as long as it would bring about development to the educational sector in the state.

Mujota, represented by a director in the ministry, Mrs. A. O Edun, promised to include some public schools in the initiative.

The general manager of UCMAS, West Africa, Mr Awinnasa Gwalani, in his welcome address urged all directors, principals and heads of basic schools (both public and private) to embrace the important programme to enable children reach their full potential.

He explained that educators and stakeholders would be better informed on the need to discover the genius within children through the development of both the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
