Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone even if they don’t like you.

You mean the world to someone.

When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look – you most likely turned your back on the world.

Our Ideal School 2

TEACHING - LEARNING ASPECTS:
The students should have more project works so that they can enlarge
their creativity.

There should be a specific period where the teachers and the students can share new ideas and knowledge about different and innovative things.

The students must be allowed to the extra curriculums, as some students might like singing and dancing and others might have interest in sports.

Study tours should be organized each year to allow students swell their knowledge about certain things.

CURRICULUM:
Every school needs a curiculum upon which every subjects, extracurricular activities are based on.

The adpoted school curriculum should be well implemented and adequately followed.

SOCIETAL BALANCE:
The students should also have idea about their culture and society.

The teachers are the most important part, because an ideal school must have ideal teachers.

There have impactful, colourful school evemts frequently

The students will learn from their teachers just like a new born baby learns from his parents.

TEACHING STAFF:
The teachers must be well trained and adequate enough.

Besides having the ability to teach the teacher should also know how to motivate the students.

Our Teachers should be of integrity, modesty, true role models, approachable.

Our whole life depends on how we grow up just like a building depends on Its foundation.

An ideal school can be said to be:

It is intellectually stimulating.

It is safe.

It has positive energy.

It reflects the interests and cultures of all the students.

It is a place students wouldn’t mind visiting even if they weren’t in class.

It reflects the challenges students have faced and conquered within its walls.

It is a place in which studying the English language is interesting, fun, challenging, and seems worth every minute.

It is a place of change and growth brought about by learning.

It uses other types of tests that affect the psychomotor, affective domain of a child apart from the standardized tests are not accurate measures of intellectual growth and only make students anxious about going to school.

Some of this looks unachievable for schools just starting up and a lot of fund is required, Nigerians why not unite with other small schools around the location legally to do big things as one.

This shows that we love each other more and the impact in the lives of our students are more important than our egos.

Our Ideal School 1

Wards, pupils spend most of the time within a school environment which greatly influence their attitudes, thoughts, beliefs towards later life and moulds them for the future consciously and subconsciously.

A School is a place where we achieve knowledge about the whole world. Not only that, we also learn how to socialize with all sorts of people, know how to speak for ones right, distinguish about manners and learn to be the part of a certain group.


In identifying a good school, your lists should look at;

UNIFORM:
An appropriate school uniform colour should appeal to a child's  age group, texture should be skin-friendly, styles should be simply  and creative.

It must not be biased to any religion, culture. It should encourage unity at every possible way.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE:
Any Organization what so ever needs to know how authority and responsibility flows.

This is a chart this shows the School head , how information flows from him to every one in the school both the teaching and non-teaching staff as well as the pupils.

RELATIONSHIPS:
There should be a cordial relationship between the school and the community close to it, the school activities must be relevant to its immediate environment.

Also good relationship should be between teachers and teachersteachers and parents, school and parents through diverse innovative forums, like Parents Teachers Association (PTA), Parents forums, Open days,other creative programmes

FACILITIES:
A good, spacious field, playground that suit the learning age of the learners

Toys, artistic tools, equipments, laboratories with relevant tools, etc relevant to the child's learning age.

Library, Toy corner, Sick bay, First aid box, Running water, etc

PHYSICAL STRUCTURE:
Classroom blocks, staff rooms shouldn't be far apart, keep the wards close and the more the impact.

Well ventilated environment.

The site for an ideal school must be close to nature. It should be delimited by trees, have a big garden and a field where the students can play.

It should have lockers so that students don’t have to carry their heavy school
bags.

It should have different rooms for different kinds of extra curriculums.

Beside nature the students should also be introduced with science and new technology.

Each class should contain small number of students dependent on the age of the learners, so that the teachers can give more attention to each student.

Nice to meet you!

Always stand: It means “you are important enough for me to get out of my seat”. on the other hand it simply means “you don’t mean much to me; you’re not worth the energy to get up” Always smile: A Smile is the way our faces say “it’s nice to meet you” it’s a way to put others at ease. Always look the person in the eyes: The eye is the window to the soul. Eye to eye contact is an expression of interest, attention and confidence. If we fail look another in the eyes it may indicate a disinterest or lack of focus in the conversation, as if we are not interested enough to even look at the person. It could also indicate inner weakness or insecurity. Always shake hands firmly: Shaking hands is our way of making contacts and breaking down initial social barriers. Make your hand shakes as friendly as your manners. Always listen carefully: Get the name right, if you don’t hear the name clearly, ask to have it repeated. It won’t reveal that you’re forgetful rather it’ll show that you have respect for the one you’re talking to and that you want to remember their names. Always greet them with their first names: (Good Morning, Bukky) Again learning to use a person’s name is another way of saying, you’re a significant person to me. How would you want to be remembered? A B Awkward or Confident Dumb or Smart Silly or Sharp Shy or Sharp Boring or Interesting Lonely or Friendly Dull or Fun Nervous or Relaxed Offensive or Nice

Examination time again!

In a way an examination is a device for creating a ‘mini-crisis’ which enables you to find the which enables you to find the resources of will power and energy to take matters in hand and finally pull the ideas of the course together, into the best shape you can manage.

Failing an examination is not the end of the world, so keep your anxieties in proper proportion. Everyone wants you to pass, including the examiner. Don’t worry about what you haven’t done during the course; work out how to make the best use of what you have done. No one understands “everything”. There are bound to be areas where you feel underprepared and confused. Don’t panic when you read examination questions. Almost every examination question is linked quite directly with something you have covered on the course. You just have to work out the link. Exams tend to be about what understand rather than what you can remember. Getting your course note organized will sort your memory out.

Speed in an exam is to do with having a very clear plan as to how you intend to use your time. You probably will do a lot of work just before the exam. But you need to do it in a planned way, using your time efficiently and consuming your energies. You don’t want to turn your life into a computer misery just because of an exam. Poor presentation; in illegible hand writing, unstructured answer, lacking any division into paragraphs; writing in note form rather than sentences. Failing to answer the question; writing off point or digressing form the main point. Failing to write in relation with materials form the course; even if you have other facts, are they related to the course and the question before you write them. Bad use of time; for your 3 questions use 90% of your time to read, understand and write your answers, use 10% of your time to read your answers all over and tidy your work. Good luck….

Permanent site here we come!

Redeemer's University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Debo Adeyewa,recently said the University is moving to its a bigger location very soon, its permanent site and it would facilitate the introduction of new programmes like Engineering, Law, Medicine and Environmental Science. Permanent Campus: Ede, off Gbongan - Oshogbo Rd, Osun State, Nigeria.

By Road; 186 Km - Distance from Redemption Camp, Mowe to Ede and it is travelled in 1 day. Travel Time: 154 Minutes - 2 hour(s) 34 minutes(s) The above is an approximation. Road Conditions,Diversions, Weather Conditions, Traffic, etc. affect driving distance. After 9years at its temporary site, Redemption Camp, Mowe, Ogun state. Redemeer's University will relocate by the end of September 2014. This is to serve as an avenue to make available state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructures, that will facilitate efficient learning. As the Institution so far has been paying its staff salaries and emoluments promptly Adeyewa affirmed that the University to attain a World-Class status, its processes and structures would also be re-engineered to confirm with the global best practices.

Nigeria how far?

The Nigerian Economic Summit (NES) was initiated in 1993,it had its 19th NES in 2013 focused on Agricultural sector, now the 20th NES focused on the Education sector tagged "TRANSFORMING EDUCATION THROUGH PARTNERSHIP FOR GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS" at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja on 18th-20th of March 2014.like

Speakers and Panelists like President Goodluck Jonathan, Senator Uche Chukwumerijie, Prof. Pai Obanya (WAEC), Adams Oshiomole, Hon. Aminu Suleiman- Chairman, House Committee of Education just to mention a few The 20th NES on Education sector was on these four critical areas that needs new thinking if Nigeria is to develop as a Nation: National consensus on the objective for our education system Collective realization of the pervasive centrality and importance of education to national development Sustainable structural reforms and changes that allow the emergence of a 21st century economy Building a culture of life-long learning to ensure the Nigerian economy can respond quickly to global changes and global development Alero Ayida Otobo (2014) said: Focus should be on early childhood education that every Nigerian Child needs Making Vocational and technical education exciting by having better infrastructures Create an opportunity to push the innovative enterprise institutes initiative to the for front Need for new curriculum for schools in Nigeria should be looked into ensure that the students are taught the right things that would be beneficial to employers of labour

ALVAN IKOKU FEDERAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, OWERRI Identified that: Our Education must inculcate the values of leadership; intuition, honesty, integrity and 21st Century skills, remodeling the learning environment and physical infrastructure to reflect the character of education budget More focus should be on trending global skills by establishing research and development capabilities in schools Develop new generation teacher that is passionate, emotionally intelligent, culturally sensitive, teach savvy, technology competent, role model, team player, expert communicator and life-long learner. Teacher Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) should be restructured to be like Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), etc reviewing condition of service for teachers especially in areas of wages, career progression and professional learning communities.

The SUMMIT also identified ways of removing the disparity existing between graduate of the university and those of the polytechnic, a gap that the federal government had tried to bridge in the past without a positive outcome.Teaching Profession should be attractive. For over 6 months now: the Question is how much of all this has been implemented or set out to achieve as Deborah (Oh ! Sorry) Ebola (smiles) has become a major distraction in the Education sector today. Recently in Abuja, the Government has raised a technical committee on the National Policy on vocational Skills Development to Bridge the gap that exist in the technical and Vocational training in the country. Honourable Chukwuemeka Wogu, the Minister of Labour said the committee marks another milestone in the on-going and commitment to strengthen the Ministry. The 14 man committee to be chaired by Mrs. Theresa Braimah, Director Productivity measurement and Labour Standards in the Ministry of Labour and Productivity with members fro the representatives of COREN - Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, National Boars foe Technical Education Headquater, Kaduna, CEO of 360 Capacity Builders Ltd, retired Director of Skills Development and Certification in the Ministry, amongst a others. They are to provide a report within 6 weeks to institutionalize a National Vocational Training and Skill Culture through hard work, creativity and innovation This is a wake up call for the necessary committee, body, agencies in charges of implementing this to get busy and ensure the right measures are put into place.

To be or not to be

Since 1973, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has been in existence. The new mode of operations of NYSC now to post about 80% of Graduate yearly into the Education Sector as teachers, is something to ponder about as a to-be or Fresh Corp member. Equal National Development is what we intended to achieve according to the goal of NYSC, these goals are only going to be achieved if the corp members themselves are to willingly to help visualize this goal. So far, some Corp members are enjoying their new found career as teachers, good,good enough.we

But in Corperhood we have issues like: Poor Career Development- After spending 12months of NYSC life as a teacher and gained experience skills in another career path, coming back to one's career will not be so easy as there are many things to learn and unlearn, this will help in career development at all as organizations now have to retrain the newly acquired staff to get the best out of them. Safety of Life: Over the years many insurgencies of Boko Haram crisis has killed a good number of our active Corp Members being posted to some parts of the country under attacks of the Boko haram terrorist group. We just wonder why can't the corp members be posted to their region, that is Corper from western Nigeria should be posted to another state within the west, likewise for other corpers from other regions and areas social unrest should be avoided totally. Harsh Cultural practices: Our naive Corpers are not so acclaimed with their new environment as regards its culture and norms, some of us in search of adventures have lost their lives due to some cultural practices that takes place there that boldly allows strangers to be victims of the evils of this culture. Unsafe Environment: Some parts of Nigeria are dominated by scorpions, snakes,ants, etc i our houses that bites us as we diligently serve our nation...... Is this fair enough. Yes, we always adapt to new locations as we are Nigerians. Seriously our living conditions should be improved may be there should be a law to ensure that the accommodation available for Corpers to stay are actually habitable indeed. We should be protected as we serve our nation diligently, after all we could have cut corners yet yea said yes to this clarion call.

5 things we want from parents

It takes a village to raise a child. We can't expect teachers to be the only ones educating our children. Research proves that when Mom and Dad become involved in their kid’s school life, grades, behavior and emotional well-being improve. So, if you want to make the teacher’s job a little easier, check out these 5 things teachers want from parents. Read to Your Child “The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading, is reading aloud to children,” stated the U.S. Department of Education Commission on Reading in 1985. Grab a book, any book, and read to your child at least three times a week. You’ll plant the seeds for a lifetime of reading. Get to Know the Teacher You should be on a first-name basis with your child’s teacher. Ask for the best way to get touch with him or her, such as by phone or email. Be there for open houses and parent-teacher conferences. Don’t be the parent who only shows up when you have a bone to pick. Encourage Friendships Outside of School Classroom learning works best when solid teamwork is in place. Because there isn’t always time for children to get to know one another all that well at school, make sure that your child spends time with classmates outside of school by encouraging playdates and after-school activities. Get Involved With the School Attend school council meetings. Join the school’s PTA. If you work and these school-oriented meetings are scheduled during the day, ask if meetings can occasionally be held at night. Your voice counts— sometimes, it's the only voice that will advocate for your child. When parents unite, they can more readily affect changes in schools. Take Part in School Events Don’t miss school events such as talent shows, science fair nights and seasonal potlucks. Even if your child isn’t playing on the team, why not attend a school sporting event? You’ll help foster an appreciation of school life. Not only will you be helping your child be successful in school, but you'll also be making memories with him along the way. Source:www.education.com

Building is fun!

Expect to see towering skyscrapers and leaning Towers of Pisa decorating your table when you do this fun activity with your child. Learning how to see the world and then translate it into 3-D can be challenging when in the two dimensional world of paper and pencils or crayons. This activity encourages a child to sculpt in free form with the only rule that they have to build 'up'.

What You Need: Mini marshmallows Toothpicks What You Do: 1. Try helping to build a small shape to get your child started. Stick 4 toothpicks into 4 marshmallows to build a square (with the marshmallows forming the connectors). 2. Next, have your child start moving his sculpture 'up'. Place 4 toothpicks vertically into the marshmallows with another set of marshmallows on each end. 3. Repeat your first square and connect the marshmallows. You now have a 3D square which can form the base of a tower or even perhaps a house. 4. Let your child's imagination take over from there! Did You Know? The resulting sculpture is an example of three dimensional artwork made by combining hard material with a plastic material (this material is mimicked by the marshmallows. Sculptors also create sculptures out of stone, wood, glass or metal. Their art is often painted. Spending time discussing local public artwork in parks and plazas with your child is a great way to get him thinking about structures. After building structures in three dimensions young artists may start noticing three dimensional shapes in local architecture. Not only will your child love playing (and eating!) marshmallows, but he'll learn a bit about construction as well. Kids don't often get the chance to work on what teachers call "visual spatial skills"-- in other words, they don't often get to work on being able to think in physical space. This is a great project to get them thinking in 3-D! Note: since marshmallows are not readily available in Nigeria so improvise and be creative.... Your kids will love this activity.

7 Things Successful Young Careerists Do Every Day

Candy Crush I know you love Candy Crush. We all do. But every time I receive that “[Facebook friend] invites you to play Candy Crush Saga” notification I think: “Man, what a time suck that game is!” The super-addictive app and its red, orange and yellow candies steal precious seconds from our day… “OK, just another five minutes and then I’m done. I swear!” Rather than allow Candy Crush (like Farmville and Angry Birds before it) to dominate your time, fill the day with these productive habits. Successful people – your job seeking competition – already do.

1. Productive People Network Even When They Have a Job They spend an extra 30 minutes at an after-work happy hour mingling and chatting. They always remember to use the six most powerful words in networking and and use free time to develop business relationships. Before calling it a day… they meet new people and nurture existing relationships. 2. They Send Thoughtful Notes Just Because A “thank you” here, a “congratulations” there…productive people send off little notes (or tweets) because they make someone’s day. They know the power of a compliment and particularly one that’s out of the blue. We’re all working hard out there. Sometimes it’s nice to be noticed. 3. They Tinker with Side Hustles Yes, it’s true every 20-something should have a side hustle. It will teach you new skills, make you more versatile and possibly open new career options. Mobile gaming is mindless. A side project on something you’re passionate about? That’s the brain firing on all cylinders.

4. They Update Their LinkedIn Profiles Productive people are keenly aware of how they look to other people. When they have a few minutes to spare, they check on their LinkedIn profiles and maybe even rework the Summary section (like this). They might also dust off their actual resumes to ensure they’re current. You never know when you’ll need it.

5. They Read the News Especially news about their specific industry. It’s so valuable to understand the latest headlines and trends in your line of work. Then you can see what’s coming and how to adapt. But mostly you can impress important people when sitting around big, fancy conference tables. FYI: Google lets you create news categories based on keywords that matter to you. Pretty nifty. 6. They Ask for Feedback Rather than assume all is well, they walk over to people they respect and say “Can you take a look at this real quick… tell me what you think?” or “How do you think the presentation went… what can I do better?” And then they listen, and then they march back to their desks to make the fixes. 7. They Never Sit Idle Newton is right. An object in motion tends to stay in motion. The more productive people move, the more they accomplish. If they stop and fall into a 20-minute Candy Crush hypnosis, they leave a lot of opportunity on the table. Get the work is behind you. Do each of these seven things, every day. Ten steal a few minutes to numb your brain on Candy Crush. You’ve earned it! Photos/source: www.canstock.com www.you intern.com www.123rf.com

Strike again, Oh no!

Last week, protests rock the environs of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti and call for the removal of the Rector of the institution Mrs. Theresa Akandeby the workers under the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic (ASUP) Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnic (SSANIP) Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) The leaders of the above Unions Dr. Ayeni Oluwola (SSANIP), Tunji Owoeye (ASUP), Adekunle Adeniyi (NASU) and the National Secretary of SSANIP Mr Monday Jegede who addressed the protesting workers in turns at the entrance of the Federal Polytechnic alleged that: Management had also not been remitting "money deducted from workers' salary for staff co-operatives amounting up to #250 Million. Rather than being migrated to the next level, some of the wokers had been demoted and had their salaries out illegally. Non-payment of the CONTISS 15 approved by the Federal Government for Federal Polytechnics since October 2, 2013 On this they have declared an indefinite strike Mr. Adeyemi Adejola Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Polytechnic dismissed the allegations say they were " meant to tarnish the image of the Rector and members of the governing council. The ability of the institution to remit check off dues to cooperatives was due to shortfall in its Monthly allocation from the Federal Government He also said, the stoppage of the CONTISS 15 was a directive from the Federal Government, saying “as at this time, the Federal Government is saying that any rector that has paid CONTISS 15 should refund it while whoever has not paid to stop. So it is a directive from the government.” Adejolu added: “ The monthly salary of the polytechnic is over N230m while the government is releasing just N178m.” He said rather than go to the bank to borrow, the management parley with the leaders of the cooperatives that the check off dues would be delayed. “I don’t know the exact amount the cooperative is being owed but I am sure it is not up to N250m the workers alleged.” While exonerating the polytechnic from blame, the spokesman said the federal government was aware of the situation which he said was national in all federal polytechnics. He dismissed the call for the removal of the rector from office and dissolution of the governing council saying it was ill motivated and “ giving the dog a bad name in order to hang it.” Photos/ Sources: www.fedpolyado.org www.liveschoolnews.com.ng

This is not right says NUT!

The Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) has threatened to go on strike after the Federal Government approval of Monday 22nd September as the new school resumption date. NUT says if the government fail to put in place measures to protect the teacher, students, non-teaching staff and school environment from Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The Federal Government says schools are to resume 22nd September as there is no scientific basis for schools to remain shut. NUT President Michael Alogba said that don't the Government know that the immunity level of children is not as high as that of adult. Why do you want to open schools when you have not cleared out the Virus, when about 400 people are under surveillance in Port Harcourt and Lagos? The NUT President stated that the 2014 World Teachers’ Day scheduled for October 5 would not hold, saying that teachers should rather be allowed to use the day to organise all necessary sensitisation programmes to get themselves ready for school resumption. In reaction to threat by the National Union of Teachers (NUT) to embark on a nationwide strike as a result of school resumption date moved forward by the federal government, President Goodluck Jonathan has appealed for a rethink.

Addressing journalists yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the President pleaded with the NUT not to embark on the proposed industrial action, noting that there was no longer cause for alarm as the country is now almost free and well prepared to stem any new cases of Ebola that may emerge. The President explained that the continued shutting down of schools will only amount to the continuous stigmatization of Nigerian citizens as this sends out the wrong signals. Parents are saying my children wont resume until, am clear about this EVD in the country. The Government are heartless, their schooling abroad, and they are planning to put other peoples children's lives in danger.

Governor Mukhtar Yero Ramalan of Kaduna State at the 1st Workshop in the Federation for teachers on Ebola on Thursday 11th of September, 2014 said #116 million will be earmarked for the training and sensitization of teachers in all Public and Private Schools within the 3 Senatorial zones in Kaduna. Schools are free to resume in October 2014 if they were yet to be prepared against the scourge. He plans to train 13,000 teachers on the prevention of Ebola, provide each school with 2 thermometers if the students population is 500 and below, 4 thermometers for schools with 1000 students but the schools can provide more thermometers if necessary. Before resumption, all schools must organize a workshop on Ebola, provide buckets, liquid soap in all classrooms for the students and replace the batteries of their Clinical Thermometer. Also, no private School must increase school fees without following necessary laid down rules at the Flag off training workshop for teachers organized by the state.

In Port Harcourt, later this month more than 5,000 teachers gathered on September 15 to hear teams from the Ebola Emergency Operation Centre (EEOC) talk of the dreaded disease. “With schools set to reopen this month, it is crucial that teachers understand how this disease is spread and how to protect oneself, so that they can pass...
