BIC Nigeria said education is the foundation for societal transformation. Speaking at a series of multifaceted initiatives commemorating Global Education Week 2024, General Manager of BIC Nigeria, Anthony Amahwe, said that this year’s activities focused on empowering students and teachers while fostering inclusive learning environments, The Courage.
He said, “Our commitment to education is deeply rooted in our vision to build a future where learning is inclusive, sustainable, and accessible to all. Through a holistic approach that combines equipping classrooms to support learners and educators, creating inspirational learning environments, unleashing students’ creativity, and supporting learners as they transition from the academic into the professional world, we aim to deliver meaningful and lasting impact in the communities in which we operate.
“Education is the foundation for societal transformation. Our initiatives further reinforce our dedication to empowering generations of learners and contributing towards a robust educational ecosystem. Our long-term vision is to continue fostering an environment where education not only shapes knowledge but also equips young people with the skills needed to thrive in an increasingly complex world”.
