Broadoaks British School has pledged to offer free education to not less than one million out-of-school children in Nigeria.
This, according to the school, was to reduce the number of out-of-school children in the country.
This was made known by the head teacher of the school, Franklin Adjetey while chatting with the press in Abuja on the school’s opening day.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Adjetey said the scholarship offers would enable the Nigerian child to access world-class education and serve as support to those families in need of it the most, adding that scholarships to selected students will start in September 2023 admission.
“We understand that 20 million children out of education are a very big problem and one which will take more than one person to solve.
“We seek to be a contributor to the solution as we aim to educate one million children for free in Nigeria,” the head teacher said.
He reiterated that every child needs a safe and secure environment where they can access high-quality education.
He described the academy as a platform where solid foundations are set for life and children are encouraged to become all-round achievers and individuals have a high expectations of themselves.
Though founded on Sept. 13, 2016, out of a passion to deliver a five-star standard of education in Abuja with a strong focus on academic excellence and a holistic approach to learning, Adjetey believes that free education will enable students to thrive and contribute meaningfully to the society.
