…as school celebrates graduating students
In a bold move to redefine traditional learning, Ronik International Schools has unveiled a comprehensive education model that integrates vocational training, sports development, and cutting-edge educational technology.
Chris Alabi, executive chairman of Ronik Group of Schools disclosed this during a chat with journalists when he said that the initiative aims to equip students with practical life skills, emotional intelligence, and real-world readiness, preparing them not just for examinations, but for life beyond the classroom.
Alabi said that the school is embracing innovation and the power of re-engineering with the understanding that education must not remain stagnant.
“At Ronik International Schools, we’re boldly reimagining learning, not just to prepare students for examinations but to prepare them for life.
Beyond academic excellence, we want to actually go into vocational training, sports and tech-skills acquisition, among others, so that students can while they can also learn how to do fashion design, make-ups, to be fully equipped for life ahead,” he said.
In terms of the quality of the teachers, the serial entrepreneur cum educationist said the school ensures quality learning outcomes, employs not only qualified teachers, but the administrative staff too, because everything goes in totality.
“We’re not just employing anybody as teachers, our educators must have minimum educational requirements, besides having a background in education.
“Our vision is to raise great leaders for this country, and develop the young people to achieve the goal of leadership. We are committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals, and young children who’re equipped not only with academic excellence but also integrity and a deep sense of responsibility to themselves and society,” he said.
To achieve these goals, Alabi said the school has plans on ground to train and retrain the teachers. Besides, there is an evaluation metric for all staff to ensure they are upscaled.
“Academic-wise, we engage our teachers in career testing. We subject them to some tests to see whether they are actually developing themselves, or they are just staying where they are,” he explained.
Adebola Olubanjo, vice-chairman/lead consultant at Ronik speaking at the end of session /graduation event for Ronik Schools, said the institution will continue to push boundaries, embracing technology, creativity and global standards to ensure that every child receives not just education, but a foundation for life.
“We made deliberate efforts to promote digital literacy, moral education, global citizenship, and collaboration.
“We are not just raising academically sound students; we are cultivating leaders who are adaptable, confident, and prepared to thrive in a world full of change and opportunity,” he said.
Olubanjo explained that the school is not resting on its oars concerning the bilingual goal, as there are plans to commence Chinese Language teaching in addition to French in the next academic session.
“Chinese Language teaching will start in the next academic session, and we are starting at primary cadre,” he said.
He emphasised that the school has provided a more superior level of value to learners with the introduction of a bilingual laboratory.
“We prepare our students to have a more global outlook, it’s essential for them to be able to speak and write the other international languages.
“In our language laboratory, we have facilities to make the programme a success both at the primary and secondary levels. Qualified and experienced teachers are employed to handle the programme,” he said.
Chioma Okafor, the P.T.A chairperson at Ronik International School speaking at the graduation ceremony, said that the association under her leadership in its quest to drive excellence has sponsored Spelling Bees Competition to ensure the children excel in their studies.
Besides, the association is sponsoring the teachers’ training in order to bring the best out of them; and are also investing in sports to groom a total child.
