Educationist Advocates Vocational Training Centres For Children
The Head of Political Science Department, Kwara State Colledge of Education, Oro, Mr Babatunde Abdulkareem, has advocated the establishment of more vocational training centres for children in the country.
Abdulkareem made the call in Ilorin on Saturday in an interview with newsmen.
He said there was need for government at all levels to help the homeless children and those whose parents could not afford to sponsor or train in schools.
“There is need to establish a vocational training centre to help relieve the struggling and poor parents in the country by help moulding the future of their children.
“Children of the destitute, children of the poor are suffering.
“It is time to give them hope by establishing more vocational centres to help reposition their status.
“We have them in both rural and urban areas, whose parents cannot afford school uniforms, writing materials not to talk of school fees.
“It is time to rescue them from the situation by investing in their children to save their future,” he said.
The HOD warned that leaving the children of the less privileged untrained is dangerous and makes the society unsafe.
He, however, called on the government at all levels, private individuals and NGO’s to invest in vocational training centres for children.
“It is everybodys responsibility to rescue these children from this unwaranted situation they found themselves.
“Government alone cannot do it. Let us save our children and give them a better future,” he said.
Abdulkareem also advised parents to train their children instead of leaving them on the streets begging for food.
The River State Commissioner for Education, Dr Peters Nwagor has called on media practitioners in Rivers State to deploy their various communication platforms toward promoting government programmes and policies aimed at achieving sustainable development in the education sector. Dr. Nwagor made the appeal when members of the Etche Ethnic Practicing Journalists (EEPJ) paid him a courtesy visit in Office in Port Harcourt. The Commissioner emphasized the strategic role of the media in shaping public perception, promoting government initiatives, and supporting policies capable of improving the quality of education and human capital development in the state. According to him, constructive media engagement remains essential in creating public awareness on educational reforms, students’ welfare, infrastructural improvements, and other interventions being implemented by the state government.
