Design, Rating & Upgrading of Centres of Academic Excellence

Vision
By December 31, 2025,we will have the world’s most inspiring academic environment in Nigeria.We will have the most beautiful and serene environment that appeals to students and teachers alike. We will have school libraries adequately equipped with current editions of the best books, our laboratories and workshops adequately equipped with all the tools required for building knowledge, skill and understanding. Laboratories in which great new discoveries are made regularly.We will have schools void of violence, immorality, intimidation and examination malpractices; with no traces of broken chairs and tables, burnt bulbs, shattered windows and pirated books.We will have schools that are hunger-free, drug-free, cult-free, bribe-free zones.

By 2025, our schools would be considered the “cradles of nurture”for the next generation and as such, would be jealously guarded and protected in the best interest of the students, teachers and the society at large.We will have beautiful gardens and walkways, right-size classrooms and pupils per class, the best quality teachers and training equipment; the best quality furniture for the world’s brightest brains. We will have schools that will rank tops in international ratings. By December 31, 2025, we will have the world’s most desirable learning centres that will justify the assertion that indeed, Nigeria has become, unarguably the world’s centre for academic excellence.

Strategy


SUCCESS SUMMITS FOR AUTHORS

During the nation-wide book tour of the 17 Secrets of High flying students, we will simultaneously embark on a nationwide assessment of all schools.As we deliver the books and facilitate the inspirational sessions for the students, teachers and administrators, we will also facilitate an audit of infrastructure, equipment, furniture and inventory (e.g. library books, stationery and stock of chalk, dusters, markers and other consumables) for every school. We will ascertain how many students are in every classroom, how many subjects are taught by every teacher and how much repair needs to be done immediately to make the schools ‘habitable’ for learning.We will develop a comprehensive list of every school’s immediate needs.

We will work with experts to develop reasonable cost estimates of these immediate needs.We will publish the needs and cost estimates on our worldwide website and reach out particularly to the alumni, parents, local and international donor agencies as well as the private sector in the course of our worldwide clarion call to REBUILD OUR FOUNDATION.We will organise a nationwide competition for the Model Design of our nation’s centres of academic excellence to be referred to as 7-STAR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. The winning design and schematic diagrams, cost estimate and building plans will be made available FREE on our website to anybody interested in building a new school or remodelling their existing schools.

The designs will specify such details as minimum recommended land area and facilities, maximum recommended students per classroom for maximum impartation and learning, ceiling heights, wall colours for maximum assimilation etc. Working with experts, we will develop a rating scale (to a maximum of 7-star institutions) with which passionate & highly skilled volunteer-auditors will facilitate a rating of each school and provide free upgrading plans to every school desirous of attaining the next level along the 7-star rating plan.We will also provide basic maintenance systems as well as vandalisation policy recommendations for every school.We will seek private sector participation through our ‘ADOPT A SCHOOL’ programme.

Every school enlisted on our 7-star vision actualisation programme will be specially highlighted on our website. We will monitor and publish its development and upgrading process for the whole world to see.We will recognise and celebrate the designers & volunteer-auditors of the Model Centre of Academic Excellence at our annual awards nights. We will publish the bio data of every professional involved with the design, maintenance and upgrading of the Model Centres of Academic Excellence on our world wide website and hope to expose them to the most prestigious business and job offers. We will restore the lost hope in the future of our great nation in the mind of every one that beholds the quality of work being done on our academic institutions.
