There will be a meeting of volunteer tutors on
Project RAISE
One million, tommorrow, Saturday, March 20, 2010 to discuss modalities
for the
revision programme for students.
Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Communications,
Professor Dora Akunyili has endorsed the book ‘17 Secrets of High flying
students’ written by Nigeria’s foremost inspirational speaker and nation
builder, Fela Durotoye.
In a letter of endorsement dated March 9, 2010, Professor
Akunyili described the book as “a timely intervention to the much needed
transformation in our nation’s education sector”.
Project Raise One Million, an initiative of Visible Impact, envisioned by Fela Durotoye to ultimately raise one million students to pass JAMB UTME and WAEC is calling for volunteers to tutor students in Mathematics and English Language towards the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (JAMB UTME) and Senior School Certificate Examinations to hold in less than 38 days.
According to Durotoye, “volunteer teachers may be the only hope the students have to do well this year”. Though results from recent mock exams in many schools in Lagos State reveals a high level of failure with as low as 15% success rate, Nigeria’s foremost inspirational speaker and nation builder, believes that with the help of many more volunteer tutors, something can still be done to salvage the situation.
