Academy urges govt support, celebrates 11th graduation

Primegate International Academy has called for increased government investment in education, improved teacher welfare, and wider access to digital learning tools, especially in rural areas.

The call was made during the school’s 11th graduation ceremony on Saturday in Abuja.

Head of School, Mrs Chisom Uzoigwe, appealed for greater government support to ensure the delivery of quality education to every Nigerian child.

She stressed the need for schools to emphasise both moral values and technological advancement in their curricula.

Uzoigwe noted that Primegate had adopted Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for internal examinations over the past four years, ahead of the planned nationwide transition by examination bodies in 2026.

“We have a functioning CBT centre and have been integrating Artificial Intelligence and technology into our curriculum. We also prioritise character development through weekly counselling and pastoral sessions,” she said.

While noting the school’s achievements, she identified inflation and the need to balance teacher remuneration with affordable tuition as challenges confronting the education sector.

“It’s not just a Primegate issue. It’s a national economic challenge. We want to expand and pay our teachers more, but we must also consider the financial realities of our parents,” she added.

Also speaking, Mr Robert Allaputa, Treasurer of the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA), said improved teacher welfare was key to strengthening Nigeria’s education system.

“When teachers are well taken care of, they have the joy and motivation to teach effectively. This translates into better student outcomes and ultimately a stronger nation,” he said.

Allaputa described the introduction of digitised examinations as a positive step in line with global standards but raised concerns about accessibility and sustainability.

“The idea is great, but can we maintain it? That’s the question. With solar-powered systems, it’s possible to reach underserved areas, but the government must demonstrate genuine commitment,” he said.

In his remarks, PTA Chairman, Mr Charles Balogun, acknowledged the economic realities of running private schools, noting that while fees can be burdensome, quality education often justifies the cost.

He commended the active role of the PTA in balancing school operations with parental expectations and urged other schools to foster similar collaboration.

The event featured the graduation of 26 students from Year 12, 36 from Year 6, and 40 from the nursery section. (NAN)
