There is only one PROBLEM:

Teaching methods used at schools are discouraging and inefficient.

Students do not get ready for life and work in the demanding decades of 21st century.

a severe lack of well educated teachers.

About 300,000 of the 700,000 teachers in Nigerian schools are not qualified to teach, the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, TRCN, has stated.

ALL teachers in EVERY school can participate in the training.

Inspired teachers receive solutions that MOTIVATE students to learn.

Teachers learn how to turn a classroom, or even a schoolyard, into a science lab.

Critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity along with learning and innovation skills, are CRUCIAL for the success in life and work in the still more demanding world.

Students not developing them lag behind their peers. In the competitive labor market, they will be forced to take up the simplest and lowest-paid jobs.

21st century skills development

We introduce CHILD-CENTERED education to schools. Teachers use the variety of teaching methods based od the pupils' different learning styles.

Children will be highly motivated so teaching will be more efficient, and learning will be fun.

Child-centered education

In the training program:

See how Rhema Height Academy uses our program.

Every week, throughout the school year, teachers take part in an activity-based training prepared by WhyBlueSky.

Students used their knowledge in practice. They do science experiments and learn technology by building and constructing.

Through the Earth Day campaign - the local community could see and appreciate the teachers' full engagement in the education of children.

Through WBS we have seen that teaching is not all about the teacher's instructions but also allowing our pupils express what they have learnt through practice; thereby helping them to assimilate better and trust/ show their intelligence. Channelling the school's curriculum to the pupils interest, needs and motivation makes learning impacting and exciting.

teachers do not pay for the training

75% of the training cost is covered by the scholarship.
