As the new academic session for nursery, primary and secondary schools is around the corner, students in Anambra State have been reminded that education is the greatest weapon they can use to change their world.
This formed the views of some critical stakeholders during an interview with Education Correspondent, Queen Anigbogu.
Lady Peace Chukwu, Secretary to a nongovernmental organization, advised the students not to relent in their efforts but rather study harder as they begin the new session noting that when they are dedicated to their studies, it will provide them with a lot of opportunities.
She cited the four Anambra students who represented Nigeria at the Malaysia/Nigeria debate, who came tops saying that it was because they were studious that was why they were able to achieve such feat.
Lady Peace gave a thumbs up to the Anambra State government for making remarkable impact in the education sector of the state and explained that their foundation partners with Anambra State government in uplifting education as they give scholarships to students who deserve it.
In her contribution, the Speaker Anambra State Children Parliament, Right Honourable Victory Ekwunife, congratulated all the students who did well in the previous session and called on those who did not do well to get up on their feet, shake off the dust and continue the race as that is the only way they can win.
She faulted the notion that school is a scam and maintained that it is only in the dictionary that success comes before work and encouraged the students not to overlook the God factor as they burn the midnight candle while reading their books.
Speaking on the Healthy Living School club Initiative of the Governor’s wife, Mrs. Nonye Soludo, Right Honourable Ekwunife noted that the initiative will not only teach students about healthy living but will also help curb drug abuse, cultism and their likes and called on everybody to help give the initiative a greater footing for a livable and prosperous Anambra State to be actualized.
