What we do - Projects
You need the right support behind you and your dream!
Computer Curriculum
Computer curriculum needs integration with classroom learning. Online materials and CDs for math, English, and other subjects are urrently being used but not yet integrated effectively to the school curriculum.
Expressive Arts
Expressive art is one of the things that we encourage at the school. More drawing, ainting and even dancing, singing and drama would be priority activities. Organize a drama program to introduce students to the performing arts as well as media and film.
Fundamental Learning Material
Reinforce the counseling approach to pupils, in particular, by improving the teacher-student relationship. Some ways this could be achieved are through extra-curricular clubs, such as football etc.
Early Childhood Development
Our recent project captured that early childhood development education specialist is needed to provide in-service training for teachers in elementary school and preschool in "Oyi Owen School"
Our Blog
Education is the bedrock of a thriving society, yet far too often, the curriculum that forms its foundation crumbles under the weight of outdated approaches and misplaced priorities. A poor school curriculum is not just a collection of dull textbooks; it's a missed opportunity to ignite young minds, cultivate critical thinking, and prepare them for the ever-evolving world they'll inherit. This blog post avoids harmful stereotypes, promotes inclusivity, and emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and real-world application in education.
We've all been there, hunched over our desks, staring at mountains of textbooks and feeling...uninspired. But fear not, fellow knowledge seekers! The key to academic success isn't just about willpower (though a healthy dose does help). It's about crafting an environment that ignites your learning. Today, we'll delve into the secrets of creating a study haven that maximizes your focus, minimizes distractions, and sends your productivity soaring. Remember, creating an enabling environment for studies is a journey, not a destination. Experiment, adapt, and find what works best for you.
The role of creative arts in education is multifaceted and crucial for the holistic development of students. Not only do they provide a platform for self-expression and emotional growth, but they also foster creativity, innovation, and critical thinking skills. In today's rapidly changing world, the importance of creative arts in education cannot be overstated
