How Prof Julius Ihonvbere Is Tackling Educational Deficiency In Owan Federal Constituency (Special Report)

Education is the foundation of growth for any country, the importance of Education can not be overemphasized, Education is the mirror of society.

Rural education should be a priority for any Nation that yearns for visionary change. It is, therefore, necessary to make concerted efforts to develop the education sector, especially in rural areas.

The provision of infrastructure and facilities for learning, distribution of educational materials, hiring of more staff, strengthening of supervisory functions on educational facilities and student scholarship are a necessity to eradicate poverty.

Education is one of the major ways to drive the much talked about social change we daily crave for.

There is a conscious need for all of us to think about educating communities, specifically rural communities. What effects would education have if we were to educate a group of people?
