With the fallen standard of
education in Nigeria, different private individuals are making relentlessly
efforts towards ensuring that the nation’s educational sector is revived and
becomes fully operational. This is why a world class Crèche and Preschool centre
recently completed in Abuja will be unveiled on the nation’s 53rd independence
anniversary.
The school is located in one of
the highbrow areas in Abuja, the Federal capital Territory and its completion
is the talk of the town. The comfortable
learning atmosphere created and the news its completion had generated in Abuja
since the past few weeks prompted some journalists to visit and make a ‘meal’
out of it. Located in Garki area of the
FCT, the school has all the modern facilities that call for people’s attention
when driving past.
Speaking to some group of
journalists that visited the school upon enquiry whether the school is
affordable for average Abuja residents, the administrators had affirmed that the school was actually
meant for hard-working average Nigerians. They affirmed that those who work
hard deserve the best, so they can rest later in life.
Speaking on the challenges
involved in putting up a school of such standard, the administrators disclosed
that it's a difficult task putting up a standard school, considering that most
standard school facilities are imported. It was disclosed that the stress as
well as the cost of purchase and shipping is even enough to frustrate one's
dream of having a standard activities centre/ school. "We have gone through series of
challenges while trying to put this together, but at the end of it all, we have
reason to thank God," One of the administrators had divulged.
Speaking about her passion and
dream for a world -class school, the proprietress said " I have always
dreamt of having something very unique, something that is exceptionally
outstanding and can stand the test of time. Ever since I was born, I value
cleanliness, and that has informed what you see here today. I know we can
equally have the best in this country if we all begin to invest in that
direction. This is only a tip of the iceberg."
Placing the commercial value and
her passion side by side, she said her passion towards creating the best
learning environment for kids outweighs the commercial value, hence it's only a
dream accomplished.
Speaking on security and safety of the kids, she assured
thus; " Before you got in here, you must have met some security men at the
gate. Besides that, we have CCTV that monitors the entire school, which I also
monitor in person. It's wireless and connected to my mobile phone. I can
monitor the school activities from anywhere. We are also working on how to
connect the CCTV to parents mobile phones, so they can also monitor their kids
from their homes or offices. She further clarified that details of parents and
guardians shall be kept in the school archives in case of pick-ups.
Adding, the school consultant
disclosed that different activities in the school can be played back, using the
CCTV, asserting that such gadget makes it easy for even parents to have access
to information whenever the need arises.
The administrator had disclosed
that for the moment, the school will be accommodating children between 3 months
to four years.
Its open house for Crèche and
Preschool holds tomorrow, October 1st, 2013 at 5b Kabo
street, off Ahmadu Bello Way, Garki II, Abuja. Activities begin at 12:00pm.
