JSS DAWAKI & KAGINI

Touching lives begins with a helping hand, at The Chioma States Afonne Foundation ( TCSAF) we love to give helping hands. On the 23rd of January 2023, we were privileged to leave our footprints along with our team of volunteers in two governments schools namely ;

– J.S.S Dawaki

– J.S.S Kagini
In some parts of Nigeria, education is predominantly the prerogative of the rich.
It is also very absurd that in the 21st century, a lot of people don’t consider education a necessity, some don’t even give equal privileges for the girl child to acquire as much education as the boy child.
The 6-3-3-4 educational system in Nigeria was introduced in 1982;
(i) six years of primary school (roughly for 5-11-year-olds) regarded as basic education;
(ii) three years of junior secondary school (roughly 11-13-year olds);
(iii) three years of senior secondary school (roughly 13-16/17-year-olds).
It is important to note that, “the Universal Basic Education Programme was introduced in 1999 by the Federal Government of Nigeria as a reform program aimed at providing greater access to, and ensuring the quality of basic education throughout Nigeria”.

At J.S.S Dawaki, we were opportune to meet with the Principal, Mr. Santas Emmanuel who informed us that JSS1, 2&3 classes are sub-divided into a , b, c & d with an average of 81 students to accommodate a number of students in each classroom.
The Principal showed us around the school premises. We met with the students and they were so excited to welcome us with so much happiness. The members of the staff were warm and organized. The Principal also shared with us a few more problems the school was having specially related to the building. We took note of an open roof that needed repair and the ceiling of the classroom that required a complete fix.
The most exciting time of our visit to J.S.S Darwarki was the time we handed the students the educational materials we bought them.
We requested a list of students whose parents found it challenging to foot their school fees. The bursar presented us a list of 25 students and we gladly paid off their school fees for the current term (Second term) and the coming term (third term) – two terms in total. This was the most important goal we had to achieve before leaving for the next school and it was our pleasure.

Moving to J.S.S Kagini, we couldn’t meet with the school’s Principal, Mr J Abiodun Sunday but the Vice-Principal was very much happy to welcome us. The students were rounding up for the day as it was almost closing hours and it is in one of our best wishes to have had enough time to interact with the students but that didn’t withhold us from delivering the gifts we had for them . The school’s accountant provided us with a list containing the names of students that should benefit from the school fees payment. These students were from families that were either experiencing difficulties paying the school bills or orpahned and without hesitation we were so glad to assist. We wish we could do more.
