A new project called Prof Owolabi HY Corner has started to change Nigeria’s education system, make it better for competing globally, and make it more flexible. This exciting project will show a different way of looking at education. It will highlight some of Nigeria’s best schools and inspire others to be excellent too.
The Prof Owolabi HY Corner aims to promote quality and enduring education by highlighting proficient schools and propelling others to emulate their success. It denounces the reliance on malpractice, poor examination conduct, and unwholesome behaviors as measures of educational quality in Nigeria. These negative practices, the initiative argues, unfairly tarnish the country’s educational reputation and deprive it of its rightful share of global educational opportunities.
Prof Owolabi, the founder of the initiative, insists that Nigeria still boasts some of the best schools in the world. He attributes the spread of negative perceptions about Nigerian education to those who struggle to keep up with its advancements. Prof Owolabi maintains that education in Nigeria remains valuable and relevant. T
The initiative will cast its spotlight on various educational institutions, including nursery, primary, and secondary schools, as well as colleges of education, schools of nursing, polytechnics, universities, and other specialized schools. Prof Owolabi HY Corner will regularly feature school children, students, teachers, parents, school owners, and government officials in the education sector.
The initiative will also cover significant examinations such as NECO, WAEC, NABTEB, JAMB, ICAN, ANAN, SAT, GMAT, and IGCSE. It will provide a platform for parents, guardians, concerned Nigerians, and education enthusiasts to voice their opinions on how to improve the education system.
Furthermore, the initiative emphasizes the importance of Special Needs Education. It aims to raise awareness about conditions such as Autism, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, dyslexia, and visual and hearing impairments. Prof Owolabi HY Corner will also offer a platform for corporate entities to engage with the education sector, benefiting both parties.
Prof Owolabi highlighted that Nigerian schools, including public, government, and those owned by the Nigerian Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, missionaries, private owners, and corporate bodies, maintain high integrity and standards. He stressed that not all Nigerian schools should be negatively stereotyped.
The initiative will also facilitate job opportunities, educational support staff searches, and the sale of educational products. Through the platform provided by the New Telegraph newspaper, it will organize regular educational events such as quizzes, debates, science and mathematics competitions, and arts and crafts contests.
Prof Owolabi encourages everyone to join this educational journey. He invites readers to stay engaged and ready to benefit from the initiative’s regular features and columns.
