Dansol Nursery and Primary School, Ogba, recently inaugurated its new Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) executives to usher in a new era of leadership and collaboration. 

The handover event, held at the school premises, was a moment of celebration and optimism for the school community.

Speaking with THISDAY, James Sonde, the newly appointed chairman of the PTA, expressed his commitment to the school’s growth and development. 

With years of experience in the PTA, Sonde said he viewed his role as a responsibility and a ministry, adding that it’s all about improving the school environment and benefiting the children.

He reiterated his vision of sustainability and collaboration for the school by partnering educational institutions and organisations that can help elevate its standards to improve Nigeria’s educational system.

With a two-year tenure, the PTA chairman said he planned to focus on long-term growth and impactful changes.

Shola Oladosu, the Head of School, thanked the outgone PTA executives, acknowledging their hard work and dedication in strengthening the relationship between the school and parents. 

“The Dansol PTA is a very strong body that collaborates well with the school, and we really appreciate the fantastic work the outgoing Excos have done,” Oladosu said. “They’ve left a strong foundation, and the incoming team has big shoes to fill.”

She encouraged the new PTA leadership to hit the ground running.

“We know they’ve been elected because they have what it takes to elevate the PTA to the next level,” she stated. “We want them to see this as an opportunity to serve, to volunteer, and to give it their best shot.”

Oladosu encouraged the new executives to develop programmes involving all school community members: parents, teachers, and students. 

The erstwhile PTA chairwoman, Mrs. Blossom Asika, said, “We worked hand in hand with the school leadership, teachers, and parents, ensuring that every decision and action was for the betterment of our children and the school.”
