 Glow Initiative for Economic Empowerment, through its Solar Up Nigeria (SUN) Initiative, has concluded the third batch of the Solar for Schools Community Project where it installed a 3.5kw Solar system for Off-grid school at St. Monic Model Academy, Igbeagu, Ebonyi State which funded by Commonwealth Human Ecology Council, England, United Kingdom. In a press statement made available to Vanguard yesterday, inadequate infrastructure in rural areas and constant power outages in grid- connected areas have prevented students from learning in optimal conditions.
In a press statement made available to Vanguard yesterday, inadequate infrastructure in rural areas and constant power outages in grid- connected areas have prevented students from learning in optimal conditions. The project team on arrival at Igbeagu community held a meeting with the leadership of Igbeagu community and the Management of St. Monich Model Academy Igbeagu. The meeting afforded the project team the opportunity to better understand the challenges posed by the non-availability of the stable electric supply in the school and the resultant impact it has on learning processes and outcomes in the school.” With electricity in the school, all nearly 300 students can be engaged more productively. With the installed solar system, they can conveniently have access to ICT and Computer Education including coding. The project was completed on late July 2022 and the students were so excited that as soon as light came into the computer centre from solar they all gathered round the computers excitedly and started operating them.
