The Bridge Academy, Nigeria, has said every child can excel in their academics if provided with the right support and empowerment.
The regional director, Academics at Bridge, Rhoda Odigboh, said this during the 2021 prize giving day and graduation of its pupils held across Lagos.
Odigboh attributed the excellent performance of their learners to their teachers’ support, adding that the success which their pupils recorded in national exams was a confirmation that children could excel if supported.
“The success our children have achieved in the national exam shows what Bridge has always believed that every Nigerian child can excel if given the right opportunities, supportive teachers and empowering schools.
“Our teachers must be commended for the success of their pupils. The learning gains evidenced at Bridge are as a result of the dedication, passion and hard work by our teachers who are at the heart of our mission of delivering a life-changing education for millions of children,” Odigboh said.
Best graduating primary six pupil at Bridge International Academy, Anibaba in Ikorodu, Iretomiwa Adewusi, thanked the school for giving him the opportunity to become a better person, academically and otherwise.
A parent at Bridge International Academy, Omobalufon in Ojo, Mrs Olayinka Amudipe, whose son was the best graduating primary six pupil in the school, said she was glad she chose Bridge for her children.
