Enugu Metro delivers tools and resources that enable socialization agencies to ensure safety of the child in schools.
Schools where the child receives an education play a critical role in moderating what the child receives from their homes and their parents’ worship places.
There is often a subtle competition between government and religious institutions on how to sustain the socialization that children and youths received from their homes and their parents’ worship places. For this reason, religious institutions set up their own schools to teach children from the primary to tertiary levels. Governments establish and run schools both as a social service for the disadvantaged and for the purpose of training children that will not grow with an attitude towards where people are born, what they became in life, and where they worship.
Setting up the school and managing it are two different things. The efficiency, diligence and care in managing a school can transform the products of the school into assets that help a society to thrive or as sources of danger to society. On the other hand, the educators and managers can also threaten the life, health, and career aspirations of students, without whom they will not have a job in the first place.
Schools need independent-minded, professional and mature educators to safely walk this tightrope and deliver on the promise to produce achievement-oriented, mentally strong, and morally prepared youths for society.
Come back soon for information, resources and tools that educators need to fulfil their functions. On the right are some of the investigations we have conducted on the safety challenges that youths face in schools.
