SCHOOL owners across the country have been tasked to show more commitment to high standard of education.

A Chartered Accountant and the Chairman of LHS Nursery and Primary School, Ota, Ogun State, Mr   Olawale Hassan, who said this during the end- of – the – year party organized by the school, appealed to school proprietors and proprietress at both the primary, secondary and tertiary levels of education to show more commitment to high standard of education.

He noted that the nation’s education sector was set to regain its lost glory when school owners start to insist on sanity rather than allow exploitation and decadence to be the order of the day in the nation’s education sector, thereby preventing the tragedy of churning out sub-standard graduates.

He counseled all school owners to make continuous professional development mandatory for the staff to ensure the consistently work hard to remain relevant to the system as well as uphold a culture of encouraging the students to aspire to greater heights and be the agents of change in the society.

While admonishing the pupils who had entertained their parents and others guests with different activities such as dance drama, choir presentation, carol songs and poem recitations, Hassan advised them to work towards becoming great leaders and not just leaders, saying that it was achievable only if they worked hard on acquiring the ability to articulate the aspirations, fears and needs of their followers, and to galvanize them towards achieving set goals.

The LHS school chairman charged the students to adhere to the school’s high moral and academic standards in line with its vision and mission, adding that they must also be committed to the school’s core value.
