An educationist, Princess Titilade Ijiwole, has called for the reorientation of pupils, saying it will help check the decadence and corruption in the country.
Ijiwole, who is the Proprietor of the Datforte International School, Lagos, made the call during the school’s 2015 Graduation and Prize-Giving Day ceremony.
According to her, an early value re-orientation for pupils will go a long way in preparing them to shun immorality and corruption in the future.
With the nation’s educational system also enmeshed in corruption, the educationist noted that there was an urgent need to expose the younger ones to the right values of life.
Ijiwole said, “Our educational system must be re-packaged to emphasis moral uprightness. Right now, it appears there is much emphasis on acquisition of certificate. This is why people are so desperate to get it at all costs. I think we should emphasis practical work, high moral and integrity.”
She also urged mothers to endeavour to be monitoring their children, noting that as adolescents they were always experimenting with ideas.
She added, “Do not leave teenagers alone as they always want to try something new. Therefore, they need to be properly guided.”
The guest speaker, Mrs. Grace Sam, urged the graduating pupils to be good ambassadors of the school and not to bring dishonour to their families.
