Corona Lekki Secondary School Graduates Pioneer Set, To Scale Up Tech Investment, , <\/p>\n

In what can be described as a journey from lockdown to legacy, Corona Day Secondary School, Lekki, has graduated its pioneer set, that enrolled in 2020, when COVID-19 had shuttered classrooms and disrupted learning experiences worldwide.<\/p>\n
The class of 2026, consisting of 32 students, didn\u2019t just earn certificates, they displayed high level of resilience, which was rewarded by the numerous awards, recognitions and laurels they won for the school.<\/p>\n
The set\u2019s dynamic learning experience, which included intermittently switching to online learning during the pandemic, as well as school-wide participation in major exams under pandemic restrictions have also informed a new thinking for the school\u2019s management, which recently upscaled the schools\u2019 technology enhancement tools and platforms with the support of the Corona Schools Alumni Association, including tools like virtual reality and augmented reality systems, to transform the learning experience for students.<\/p>\n
To kickstart this process, the school has incorporated artificial intelligence into about five subjects with the expectation that the investment will ensure that its students are hands-on in experiential learning and, by extension, become globally competitive.<\/p>\n
Disclosing these upcoming investments at the sidelines of the inaugural graduation ceremony of Lekki Secondary School, the Governing Board Chairman, Corona Schools\u2019 Trust Council, Mr. Olaniyi Yusuf,\u00a0 credited the board and management team for accomplishing the task of unveiling their Lekki Secondary School campus six years ago and now having its first set of graduates.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are truly grateful to parents who trusted us with their children at a brand-new campus during the scariest year in recent memory. Today, we\u2019ve produced another set of leaders,\u201d Yusuf said, adding that graduates have not only attained academic excellence, but have also succeeded in non-academic activities such as sports, public speaking and other areas.<\/p>\n
Congratulating the students for their resilience, Principal of Corona Day Secondary School, Lekki, Mr. Oluwagbemileke Amoo said, \u201cif one word is to summarise how I feel, it\u2019ll be fulfillment. It was a risk to start in the year that we started. There were uncertainties, but there was just faith.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThat faith is now vindicated. The set\u2019s salutatorian scored 363 in UTME, the 11th position nationally. One graduate is the reigning national shot put and discus champion in his age category, a title he\u2019s defended from Ibadan to Lagos. Others have carried the school to the top of regional basketball and debate competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The set\u2019s unique story was further captured by the principal disclosing how the students intermittently switched to online learning at the height of Covid-19 and participated in major exams under pandemic restrictions, yet grades didn\u2019t drop.<\/p>\n
According to Amoo, the set also inspired the idea of PEN (Problem solvers, Excel, and Network). A framework designed by the set to help sharpen their minds and build their character and ultimately help them mature year after year.<\/p>\n
