“We have invested in laboratory learning to expose the children from this new academic session to the reality of the future,” Koiki said.

Her words: “The future is for those that are versatile. Children will be able to impact the environment positively if they are technology savvy. This can be achieved by making them show more interest in technology for learning. Instead of using technology for play, students can use it for creativity, thereby empowering themselves and the whole society.”

Speaking in the same vein, Greensprings School Deputy Director of Education, Mr. Barney Wilson, said the school had invested in some learning laboratories.

According to him, the laboratories include, Air and Sea Laboratory, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Laboratory, Business Incubator, Studios College and University Readiness Centre amongst others.
