FAIL PROOF WAYS TO GET MORE STUDENTS IN YOUR SCHOOL

1.      SOCIAL MEDIA: Businesses, Politicians, Pastors, NGOs and the likes are actively riding on the wings of SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING to get themselves seen or heard.

SUMMER SCHOOL - Much Ado About Nothing

The Cost of Education now in Nigeria is undoubtedly on the high side, and parents are always eager to see school go on summer break. The Summer Break, usually between July – September of every year also presents an opportunity for Schools to Introduce themselves to the society as well as campaign for more students populace. 

Unfortunately the Concept of SUMMER SCHOOL has been totally bastardized and has become tool to extracting more money from parents and yet offer the kids little or nothing different from the norm.

As a Teen, the Summer Holiday was a very interesting period for me; this was because there was always something different to learn within this period. On most occasions, I recall, going to my mom’s store to assist her in any way I can; while it seemed stressful and less colorful, it opened my eyes to a lot in respect to business and money.

It is painful however to see Children, Teens and young individuals going to SUMMER SCHOOLS where teachers reluctantly participate in, teaching them the same things they would be thought in the classroom when school resumes in September. 

Honestly,  I feel sorry for parents and guardians.

Although we should give kudos to Private Schools for the initiative, I do believe that they can offer something more. A school can decide to use the Summer Holiday Period to train Talented Soccer Players; they can choose to teach Entrepreneurship to these Children & teens; they could engage the teens in Skills Acquisition Training; Truthfully, they can do more with this 3 months.

SIMPLE WAYS TO BEING USEFUL ALL THE TIME

 Once upon a time, having Primary Six Education was more than enough to help an individual build a house. In today’s world, PhD Holders at age 65 still have landlords. Whether we like it or not, the world is changing and anyone that wants to be successful in this era must rearrange his or her thought pattern.

Here are some simple thoughts a young individual can hold on to in order to become and remain relevant in today’s world. 

a.       Education is good; but there is something Better… SKILLS:  SSCE School leaver, Undergraduate, or Graduate; we have been taught to see Education or permit me to say University Education as the key to a successful life. Well, the truth is this… EDUCATION is just a door, Not a Key. Education will avail you to various opportunities in life, but only SKILLS can help make the difference. Pursing University Education is admirable, but what will set you apart from any other educated person is the Skill you posses. The beautiful part of it is that every man is born with a skill hidden inside them. In its natural state, it is known as talent /potential, but when it is harnessed & fully developed, it becomes a Skill.

b.      The World Is Selfish… Stop Waiting for Destiny Helpers: Yes! You heard me right! Stop waiting for people to help you direct your life. Your Life is your Responsibility, be Responsible to yourself. Many a time, we look on other people to help us succeed. Sometimes, we wish we had different parents who are wealthy and can help our dreams come through… Please, Wake Up! YOU can make your dreams come through with the kind of parents you have. Look inside you and make a move. Until you make a move, you will never see any destiny helper. No “Destiny Helper” is looking for a “Wait-er”. You have to be on the move. You have to keep your mind busy doing something positive; it’s very important. Many young people waste time thereby waste their lives waiting for JAMB, POST UME, GRADUATION, NYSC and stuff before they start doing something meaningful with their lives. Don’t be such. If you take your eyes off other people, and concentrate on yourself, you will discover that you can actually do more than you imagined initially.  It’s beautiful when people believe in us, but until we start BELIEVING in ourselves, nobody/Destiny Helper will believe in you.
