COMMUNITY & SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
The
relationship between Imperial School and its immediate
host community is very cordial. The School contributed
immensely towards the provision of a 200KVA electricity
transformer for the village. The School authorities
also undertook regular road rehabilitation within
the village. Many of our staff are recruited from
the village. The school has been invited to many community
functions were reasonably contributions are made towards
community development. Furthermore, the School operates
various schemes such as Youth Camps during holidays
to keep restive youths busy. There are other major
programs targeted at the society at large, these include:
* SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS
Over 45 students are benefitting from our scholarship
and neighbourhood scheme. Most of the beneficiaries
are from the less privileged families. There are others
from community leaders, staff children and brilliant
students who excel in class work etc. The award cuts
across various divides and students are usually drawn
from all parts of the country. The school budgets
quite a lot of money every year to cater for these
awards.
* YOUTH SKILL DEVELOPMENT:
This is a practical program aimed at imparting skills
on unemployed youths from the immediate community.
The program covers masonry, carpentry, plumbing etc.
There are over 10 graduates from this program already.
During apprenticeship, applicants are supervised by
more experienced hands and are paid little stipends.
These stipends increase gradually as applicants master
the arts. Most of the graduates are now fully engaged
in their various trades and are earning good living.
The school plans to upgrade the program to cater for
more interested applicants. The program has surely
helped to reduce unemployment and attendant crime
in society.
* YOUTH SPORTS:
Sports has become a unifying factor across the world.
Accordingly, Imperial School has shown interest in
grass root sports development. The school has budgeted
a reasonable amount of money in recruiting budding
players and coaches for the planned School Amateur
Football Club. The club is planned for launch in due
course.
