Ejinavi, who stated this recently, at the school\u2019s 2025 Career Day, emphasised that exposing children early to diverse career paths is critical to building a future workforce equipped with confidence, skills and purpose.<br \/>According to her, the country\u2019s long-term development in sectors such as science, technology, medicine, education, the arts, and leadership depends on how well young learners are guided today.<br \/>\u201cOur vision is to help children identify their strengths early enough. Career Day allows them to imagine their future and understand the paths that can get them there,\u201d she said. \u201cIf we don\u2019t catch them young, we risk raising a generation unsure of their potential.\u201d<br \/>The colourful ceremony featured pupils dressed like doctors, engineers, pilots, lawyers, journalists, ICT experts, fashion designers and entrepreneurs, reflecting a wide range of aspirations.<br \/>The school\u2019s management reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining the career day as an annual tradition aimed at raising informed, inspired and future-ready learners.<\/p>\n<p>, Education \u2013 THISDAYLIVE, November 27, 2025, 3:02 am<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schools Head Urges National Adoption of \u2018Catch Them Young\u2019 Strategy for Early Career Discovery, , Funmi Ogundare The Proprietress of Forcen Schools, Ogun State, Mrs Ngozi Ejenavi, has stressed the need for the country to adopt a deliberate nationwide \u2018Catch Them Young\u2019 initiative to identify and develop children\u2019s career interests from an early age.
