Lagos - The historic United Nations Education, Scientific and
Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) World Book Capital Model Primary School
in the Rivers State has commenced academic activities.
The UNESCO
World Book Capital School is one of the newly constructed 20-classroom
school blocks built across the State by the state government as part of
its efforts to expand access to education by pupils across the state.
Chairman
of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Sir Ali
Oruitemeka, said pupils had been moved to the new structure in Moscow
Road, Port Harcourt because the environment was now conducive for
learning.
He stated that the upsurge in the enrolment of pupils
into government-owned schools in Rivers State necessitated the
construction of 20-classroom blocks across the state.
The schools are well equipped with books and e-books.
The
state government is using the schools to promote reading culture among
pupils and students.
Every pupil of the schools has a reading period as
pupils are made to pick a book, read and summarise during the book
review segment. The school is well equipped with the state-of-the-art
facilities like the sick bay, library, music class, science and computer
laboratories.
