‘Stable Home, Necessary For Child Education’
The Chairman, Board of Trustees of Private School Owners Association of Rivers State, Mr. Alex Ellah has identified stable family as necessary tool for enhancement of children educational training.
He made the observation while addressing parents and guardian of Chilex School in Diobu Metropolis of Port Harcourt, Rivers State recently.
Mr. Ellah who is also the Proprietor of the school noted that the enormous challenges of funding child education requires the moral and financial contribution of couples through maintenance of stable home.
The educationist noted that experience has shown that most school drop-outs and other problems associated with educational training are traceable to unstable homes among couples.
According to him qualitative education is a huge project that is tasking for a single parents to provide especially in Nigeria where economic crunch is harsh.
Describing education as vehicle for individual and society emancipation, Mr. Ellah spoke of the need for government, parents and school authorities to partner towards ensuring qualitative and functional educational system in the country.
He used the opportunity to remind parents and guardians of the school of the need to provide reading materials and payment of fees of their children as to avoid children being sent out of classes.
Besides, the Board of Trustee Chairman tasked parents to always monitor the academic and moral conduct of their children in order to justify the huge expenditure on them.
The school proprietor blamed some parents and guardians for their inability to give good account of their children either at home or in school pointing out the development is responsible for high wave of crime and corruption in the country.
He however assured Parents of the determination of the authority of the school to provide quality service so as to make the students compete favourably with their counterparts anywhere in the world.
Some of the Parents who spoke at the meeting thanked the proprietor for providing opportunity for parents to contribute ideas for smooth operation of the school and pledged their support.
