A holistic approach to education
– that addresses students’ learning, social and emotional needs – is crucial,
especially in times of crisis. The COVID-19 interruption in every areas of life
since 2020 has changed the social narrative, and by implication reshaped the
style and direction of academic practice.
The current coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic is having a profound impact, not only on people’s health, but also on
how they learn, work and live. Among the most important challenges created by
COVID-19 is how to adapt a system of education built around physical schools.
While the students are striving to get education, they are now groomed to learn
to survive the surge at the same time.
This calls for a collective
intervention from all concerned agencies of child grooming; the government, the
school and the parents.
Between 2020 and 2021, the
government had directed schools to shut down operation temporarily or end the
academic term abruptly 4 times. This means parents can no longer take the risk
of trying out schools, but have to be sure that the schools have all the
requisite tools that can protect the children as schools plan to resume in a
matter of month or less.
This is why popular Education
Consultant, Adesope Edun is floating school profiling projects for parents to
consider before making decisions for their children’s school resumption.
Adesope’s Mcaloeda Media is
poised to do the due diligence and consider the best 20 schools to consider
ahead of the new academic session and will release the name about a week before
resumption of schools.
Speaking with newsmen, Adesope
stated that the project is conceived after a cursory look at the challenges
faced by schools and parents in the last two terms, trying to adhere to the new
normal and getting prepared to fit into the new academic style that the
COVID-19 has brought before us.
“We shall be considering so many
features from Health, Safety and Environment, and strict adherence to the
government conditions of what should be made available for students in this
delicate times.
“We will also consider how
prepared the schools are with online classes, and how trained the teachers
are to align with digital tutorials.
Other special or additional advantage can come in to show exceptional academic
standard”, he said.
“At the end of the day, we shall
be publishing the names of schools that we will be recommending for parents on
the national dailies. This will make it easier for the parents to decide. We
want to shoulder the responsibility of looking out for the best school for
their children”, he added.
