Millennium Fellowship Project: Excel Initiative
My project focuses on Quality education. I want to assist student seeking admission into the university to have all the information needed and necessary to gain admission to the tertiary institution of their choice. I want to give them a practical outlook on the things a university student should know to gain admission. Also, I want to desensitize students currently in tertiary institutions from the believe that the courses they are studying cannot lead them to achieve anything great so they should not take academics seriously or just because the government does not provide jobs for youths any longer they should see academics as just a certificates for their parents and not themselves.
The reason why this project is so dear to me is because I have experienced these things and I have seen smart secondary school students loose admission all because they were not aware of certain information for instance that Double entry will deduct your mark, that to study law you have to do Economics for WAEC or that If you finally gain admission as a law student you would offer that French you avoided in secondary school as a compulsory course.
