The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), has applauded  President  Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the newly released entrepreneurship curriculum for pupils in Basic schools, stressing the need for  skill acquisition for national development.

It also announced its intention to grant the just- released 52 minors scholarship up to secondary school level.

President Tinubu had ordered the release of minors who were  arrested during the End-Bad-Governance protests.

Speaking at press conference on Tuesday, NAPPS Board of Trustees Chairman, Alhaji Abdulmumuni Kundak, reiterated its commitment to fostering  progress in educational development and quality pedagogy, while it  continues to be a pillar of excellence and positive transformation in the country’s educational landscape.

Kundak  announced the approval of the 2023 NAPPS Constitution by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to ensure that all governance procedures are strictly aligned with in the constitution.

He said the official recognition from CAC distinguishes the duly appointed Board of Trustees of the NAPPS  from any other group claiming such authority.

NAPPS National President, Chief Yomi Otubela, noted that the association is committed to reducing out-of-school children, through its various scholarship interventions. He said member-schools give a minimum of five pupils scholarships to pupils regularly.

He equally praised President Tinubu for approving grants to assist private schools, adding that no member-schools have increased school fees beyond 15 percent despite the economic hardship. Otubela said private schools have put in place a number of measures to cut operating costs.

“You will hardly see a member school who had increase school fees beyond 15 percent. Hence, we have reduced co-curricular activities because of the economy.

 We have adopted technology to drive teaching and learning, where teaching materials are generated through AI, we have reduced non- teaching staff and introduced solar energy to cut costs. We are in partnership with government to run schools at minimal cost,” he said.

Kundak also announced the NAPPS International Conference & Exhibition (NICE Calabar 2024) to take place 20-21 November. He said the  theme is : “Illuminate, Innovate, Elevate: Breaking Barriers in the Education Sector for National Development.”

He said it would focus   on addressing key challenges in education and exploring solutions to elevate educational standards across the nation.
