PROPOSALS FOR THE PHASED RENEWAL OF CHRIST'S SCHOOL, ADO - EKITI

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) of Christ's School, Ado -Ekiti December 2006(Reunion 2006) meeting in Lagos on Sunday, 9th July, 2006, in the residence of Erastus Akingbola, among other decisions mandated the members of the Abuja Chapter of the Alumni Association present to present a draft Proposal for the Phased Renewal of the School against the background that all the funds needed for the renewal might not be available at a go and even if it were available, it was not advisable in view of the current Government Policy and the organizational and executive capacity available to the Old Students to executive the Renewal in a single swoop. The Abuja group held two meetings and the result of the deliberations, which is the Draft Proposal for the Phased Renewal is commended to the LOC as follows:-

GENERAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE RENEWAL

It was our view that the plan and strategy for the renewal must take into consideration the current Ekiti State Government Policy Guidelines on Secondary Schools. The relevant issues are:- . A public secondary schools should not operate boarding facilities for students; . A public secondary school should draw her students from its catchment area so that the students should come from three(3) kilometers of the location of the school; . The Free Education Programme in public secondary schools which therefore means that free tuition The Policy environment became important for our assignment because it established two clear options:

Option 1:

If the Ekiti State Government continue to own the School, the intervention of the old students must be focused on the improvement of instructional facilities, curriculum development, staff improvement, partnership with the Government to ensure the long tenure and stability for the Principal and the staff and the crucial issue of ensuring that the Ekiti State Government continued to sustain the renewed facilities through regular maintenance and additional development, student and staff improvement through adequate funding, progressive Government Policy and enlightened and committed management of the School by the Principal and the Staff. The logic that informed this option is that there is no sense in substantial renewal of the facilities of the dormitory areas, if Government Policy discourages the boarding system. Since the facilities will be fallow, alternative uses, in the longer run, might be to convert them to additional classrooms and instructional facilities or the nucleus of the provision of the vertical range of education envisioned in Paragraph 2.15 of the Project Christ's School Renewal 2003. Even the alternative-uses-option depends on approval of the Ekiti State Government and Government Policy Guidelines.

Option 2:

 If the School reverts back to private ownership for instance the Old Students, Anglican Communion and if necessary any other stakeholder. The intervention must be total focused on the renewal of both boarding and instructional facilities, curriculum and student renewal, staff and staff facility renewal and the overhaul of the Administration of the School. The governance of the School will be in the hands of the private proprietor who can address development issues on a longer term basis. Though the achievement of this option is more difficult because of the need to secure the release of the School form the Ekiti State Government, it seems to offer more sustainable renewal and future growth especially when the quality of infrastructure and instructions in many profitably private secondary school, even in Ekiti State, is considered.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATION OF OPTION 1 (EKITI STATE AS THE PROPRIETOR OF THE SCHOOL).
