The dwindling standard of education in Nigeria has been attributed to lack of adequate commitment by those who are charged with the responsibility to impart knowledge through qualitative teaching, as well as the attitude of government towards proper funding of education as required by the United Nations standard.

The Chairman, Governing Council, Diadem Group of Schools, Mr. OlapojuOladinni, who made this observation stated that both the teaching staff at all levels of our educational system and the government are sharking in their respective responsibilities towards providing and maintaining good standard of education for our children.

Oladinni, who spoke at the maiden valedictory service and first graduation of Diadem College, Ifako, Lagos, observed that lack of commitment and concentration by teachers and lecturers in our educational system due to government failure to play its part as expected is responsible for production of half–baked grandautes from our educational institutions.

He stated that government should be the bedrock of our educational system by ensuring proper funding to provide good infrastructure, as well as qualitative teaching and researches in our institutions, particularly secondary schools and universities.

Oladinni recalled that the noble idea behind the establishment of Diadem Schools was borne out of a divine instruction coupled with passion to love and train children in other to better their tomorrow and the nation at large.

Also speaking at the graduation ceremony, the Proprietress of Diadem group of Schools, Mrs. Abimbola Oladinni traced the winning edge of the institutes to its tradition to provide complete qualitative and contemporary education for adolescents of today, adding that their target is to reposition adolescents with the dynamic development initiative that abounds in the education sector.

She added: “our earnest drive towards radical re–engineering in the education sector affords us the unique opportunity to deliver and motivate adolescents to reach greater heights academically, socially and morally”.
