As part of efforts to strengthen inclusive education, BIC recently unveiled three newly renovated solar-powered classrooms at Sari-Iganmu Inclusive School.<\/p>\n
The project, delivered in partnership with the Raising Star Africa Foundation (RSAF), was part of BIC\u2019s Global Education Week (GEW) 2025 activities and was designed to provide safer, more accessible, and technology-enabled learning spaces for differently-abled students.<\/p>\n
The upgraded classrooms integrate renewable energy, modern learning tools, and essential infrastructure improvements tailored to support inclusive education. The initiative seeks to ensure uninterrupted learning, foster creativity, and inspire self-expression among children of all abilities.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the ribbon-cutting ceremony in Lagos, Anthony Amahwe, General Manager of BIC Nigeria, stated, \u201cImproving learning conditions for students, especially in underserved communities, remains central to BIC\u2019s purpose. By transforming these classrooms into solar-powered, inclusive spaces, we are enabling children to learn comfortably, safely, and creatively.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the project contributes to BIC\u2019s global ambition to improve learning conditions for 250 million students by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n
Michael Showunmi, Founder of RSAF, commended the long-standing partnership with BIC, noting that the investment would enhance access to quality education for students requiring additional support and help create a more inclusive school ecosystem.<\/p>\n
The launch also featured a creative colouring workshop to encourage students\u2019 self-expression. Classrooms were equipped with essential writing tools and learning materials to support daily academic activities and boost students\u2019 confidence.<\/p>\n
In addition, BIC awarded \u20a6 1 million each to two of the longest-serving teachers at Sari-Iganmu Inclusive School, in recognition of their dedication and service.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Headteacher, Mrs Aishat Oladeji, expressed gratitude for the renovations and donations, saying, \u201cAn improved and modernised environment enhances learning for every child, and these renovations will greatly motivate and inspire our differently-abled learners.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the past three years, BIC has partnered with organisations such as Let It Shine Academy (LISA), Morit International School, and the Igando Inclusive Unit to renovate classrooms, provide thousands of writing materials, and train hundreds of teachers through its educator development program, Canvas of Change.<\/p>\n
