Corona Schools’ Trust Commits to Improve Learning with Library Upgrade

Corona Schools’ Trust Council, an institution with a focus on the development of world-class schools in terms of curriculum, teaching methodologies and management, has upgraded the library of Adeife Sodipo-Akindeko Memorial Primary School.

The library, according to the management of the Corona Schools’ Trust Council is part of its commitment to education and community development, under its ‘Out-of-School initiative.

Chief executive officer of Corona Schools’ Trust Council, Mrs. Adeyoyin Adesina, said the Out-of-School initiative which commenced in 2022 is currently sponsoring a total number of 50 students at the Adeife Sodipo-Akindeko Memorial Primary School.

Speaking at the unveiling of the upgraded library in Lagos recently, Adesina said the upgraded, beautified and stocked-up library is in support of continued learning for the children of the school, adding that it is also to commemorate the second cohort of 25 students.

“As an educational institution, it would be our joy for every child to have access to education, and in conjunction with the LASUBEB Project Zero team, we will continue to support these children and empower the school to a satisfactory level,” Adesina said.

She further said that the Corona Schools’ Out-of-School initiative embodies a commitment to providing the essential tools for learning, noting that Corona Schools will continue to lead the charge in fostering educational excellence and community development, bridging the gap for children who aspire to a brighter future.
