Speaking at the graduation ceremony of the
School held on Saturday July, 14, at the schools
hall in Epe, Lagos, the Principal who represented
the Chairman of the school, Retrd. Justice
George Oguntade, Nigeria High Commissioner to
the United Kingdom confirmed that students who
live abroad are travelling back to Nigeria to
study.
He called on other schools in the country to
step up their standard and adapt Neander’s kind
of educational structure to improve and boost
students’ self-esteem to eradicate the poor
educational system in the country.
Speaking, he said: “Some of the students abroad
are currently returning home and coming here to
our school to continue and finish their
education. If the system of education in the
country will adapt the standard and precedent
we have set on ground, it will apparently boost
the self-esteem of our youths who are leaders of
tomorrow.
Students in our classes are taught in the guide
of self confidence. If a child is taught under
timid condition, that child will not learn anything
but with self confidence, much is expected of
him or her.
“So we do that here and we ensure that they
learn at their own pace. There is a programme
which we have for them that is structured to
boost their learning morale at their own pace.
They don’t work under pressure here. They
learn with freedom and happiness,” he
explained.
The principal, Idris Agbaje confidently disclosed
that students are engaged in mostly research
works, adding that the school do not operate a
teacher center, rather, a student center. By this,
he means that students are structured to run the
school basically under research and learn but
they are guarded by teachers to ensure they
don’t go beyond some boundaries.
“I won’t be surprise, a student from this school
will become Nigeria’s president someday,” Idris
said. “Our school is very unique, when you look
around, you can attest that our facilities are first
class. Very few schools in this country can
boast of the type of facilities, space and the
opportunities we provide for our students here,”
he said.
Neander International Schools Chairman, Justice
George Oguntade in his goodwill message to
graduating students admonished them to make
best use of all that were taught in academics,
skill acquisition and character.
