Determined to extend the frontiers of learning and meet the academic requirement of her students even as COVID-19 encroaches on personal lives and work arrangements across the world, Rainbow Educational Services Limited (RESL) says its substantial investment in technology has help keep Borderless Classrooms afloat.
RESL stated that it has an excellent track record of nurturing children to become extremely successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens. Adding that it didn’t lose sight of this core competence. So far, our group has successfully navigated the unexpected, steep and slippery terrain that COVID-19 unleashed.
Yinka Oduwole, director of studies, RESL observes that as a consequence of the Government’s directive, we had to close our schools. No sooner had we closed schools than we swung into action by extending the frontiers and reach of our Borderless Classrooms.

Oduwole noted that although COVID-19 stopped many things, it didn’t stop learning and teaching as RESL deployed loads of interactive resources to enthuse and extend the learning of children and young people.
According to him, “We switched to our impressive online platform and offered tuition so seamlessly that our children were shielded from the adverse effects of early closure. We’ve been working hard to uphold the excellent RESL standards during a pretty uncertain period”.
This is why our group of schools is in a league of its own! Our teachers and educators here embed extended learning opportunities in the curriculum so that learning in the ‘out of classroom’ environment is a reality and regular diet for all children and young people.
Oduwole further noted that RESL is always at the cutting edge of 21st-century Learning and teaching practices, stressing that they believe learning need not take place solely within educational buildings. “The home environment has massive potential for learning so we tapped into the vast opportunity to enhance our children and young people’s learning experiences by maximising the potentials of the home and variety of other settings”.
“This is why we invested in the technologies that underpin the borderless classrooms; classrooms without walls! Our classrooms without walls offer motivating, exciting, different, relevant and easily accessible activities from pre-school years through to college”,he said.
Oduwole further states that RESL is delighted that all children and young people are participating in a range of progressive and creative ‘out of classroom’ learning experiences which are clearly part of the curriculum.
“Our well trained and expert teachers continue to provide remotely regular, frequent, enjoyable and challenging opportunities for all our children and young people to learn at home throughout this period and beyond. Although, we miss the thrill and adrenaline that we get from traditional offline classrooms.
“However, we have been successful in keeping our borderless classrooms open 24/7. We pray that the world will overcome the ravaging COVID 19 and we can go back to what we know to do best: delivering excellent student outcomes gains”, he said.
