The founder of the City of Knowledge Academy, Lagos, Mrs. Mosun Belo-Olusoga, has called on universities to adopt the one-laptop-to-a-child approach.
Belo-Olusoga said this in a statement announcing the beginning of the school’s entrance examinations for the 2014-2015 session.
She said, “We have adopted the one-laptop-to–each-child approach since all lessons are technology-driven. We teach our children life skills, organisational skills and emphasise the development of emotional intelligence.”
Belo-Olusoga, who lauded the academy’s contributions to the nation’s quest for academic excellence, said it was providing quality education in a safe and secure environment for the holistic development of the child.
She added, “The school employs a contemporary and integrated approach to learning and teaching; and the formal, informal, cultural and intellectual ethos of the school will equip the students with the skills needed for efficient and effective operation in the world of their future.”
Belo-Olusoga also noted that Academy would be a centre of excellence where culture, character and confidence would be promoted and dynamism and diligence would be a way of life.
“Here, we mould children to be respectable and respectful citizens; well behaved and confident – that is, we are building the total child,” she added.
The Head of School, CKA, Ms. Abiola Lamikanra, said the institution operated a British curriculum that was harmonised with the Nigerian curriculum.
