Value-Based Education Best For Nigerian Child – Expert

An educationist, Mr. Daramola Ibukun, has said that value-based education is best for Nigerian children in this era.

Ibukun gave this insight while delivering a keynote speech at the first valedictory and prize giving ceremony of ReapVille Schools, themed “The Future Is Here’’ held on Friday, 8th July at Oshodi-Lagos.

The consultant wondered how long it will take older leaders to give young ones the opportunity to display and implement their special abilities, noting that the popular saying “the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow,” has now become a common saying.

“These special grace and skills are needed to help these children lead our nation and community in the future,” he added.

According to him, the only way children in Nigerian can impact the society is after they have been taught the values, culture, and norms, of the society.

“Any nation without her younger ones well-prepared to take over from the older ones is definitely doomed,” he declared.

“Operationally, the sustainability of this nation rests in the hands of the working class between the ages of 19 and 60,” he said, pointing out that this factor is linked to the strength and skills already deposited in them as they were growing up.

Ibukun urged parents and spiritual leaders to bring up the children with good manners in line with the society, alongside the schools that assist with the teaching of these values based on structure and curriculum.

However, the chair person for the day, Mr. Lawrence Amadi on his own part lauded ReapVille Schools for its achievement within a short period, saying that parents have more responsibility in raising their children by supporting the teachers via the school authorities.

“Our children are ready to learn but the burdens are more on parents, especially by paying school fees promptly,” he urged.

Equally, he gave the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) of the school accolades for always supporting the school and by extension, their children, praying that God will give them the grace to continue to provide for their children.

ReapVille School began operations as a citadel of learning in September 2017 with a focus to produce innovative and globally competitive children with high standards by using effective methodologies in teaching and building up a complete leader, capable of standing out in a crowd.
