Yesterday, we successfully concluded a series of on-boarding engagements and a 2-Day training with facilitators for the English Access Program, a U.S. Department of State-sponsored program that is managed by the local U.S. Embassy/Consulate.
This program is designed to expose participants to the U.S. culture, global citizenship, and democratic values through English language scholarships, professional development opportunities for teachers and administrators, and programming for alumni.
The teaching focuses on critical thinking, student-centered and communicative approaches for bright, underserved students, primarily aged 13 to 20 in Keffi, Nassarawa State who will be receiving a foundation of English language, leadership, and Professional skills, and exposure to U.S. culture and democratic values through a two-year, 360-hour program.
This engagements is a significant step forward in our mission in providing access to global opportunities for young people.
We know that by equipping young people with strong language skills and cultural understanding, we are helping them build a brighter future.
Our profound gratitude goes to the US government for their support and shared vision towards making this English Access Scholarship Program possible.
