Education is one of the most important right of the human being. It is also the instrument for the social and the civil development in a country. Illiteracy is a big obstacle for the progress and for the democracy. This cause poverty, exploitation, injustice, ethnic divisions, hunger and disease of millions and millions of people.
• 51% of the Nigerian population is illiterate. Statistics about education is quite impressive: 37.5% of male population is illiterate and more than 60% of female population still doesn’t have a standard education.
• Scholar structures of Nigeria are insufficient and inadequate. The rooms, without windows, water, lighting, desks and blackboard, contain over 80 students.
• Teachers don’t have the adequate educational training as their payments are. The consequence is corruption and absenteeism. Besides, educative methods and systems don’t fit with the new social asset (scholar regulation still provide for corporal punishment through the use of the “rod” in Nursery School, Primary School and Secondary School)
The project is an answer to the big request for an education for the new generation from parents, civil and religious authorities. This is a service especially for the children living near the mission (in the crowded and poor neighbourhoods of Show Light, Ugwuagba, Awada, Okpoko and Ibolo-Obosi). We want to offer not only a Technical School but also a basic and secondary education.
