Planning Assessment

Heritage School

12/3/2012

We initiated a meeting between HELP representatives Mrs. Femi Sunday, Dr. Tom

Conner, Coach Emmanuel Solako and Scott Beebe, and the Headmaster of Heritage

School Chief Adedoyin Bolaji. The purpose of the meeting was to assess current

progress of Heritage School, future plans of progress, and to identify opportunities

for partnership in the future based on the vision of Heritage School and the

Educational Domain for HELP.

The meeting was held in the office of Chief Bolaji at the Heritage School. We began

the meeting explaining our purpose as stated above, with an open mind from our

host.

Our first question was centered around the issue of where Heritage School stands

today in light of its focus. The following were some of the finds to our inquiries

Actively pursuing Sr. Secondary Certification (already certified in primary, and

Jr. Secondary Certification)

o They exact funds for development, registration, seminars, curriculum

o Chief believes it can be more effective (see below under

opportunities) Today: many times the national syllabus is intended to

disseminate to the local level but is caught in bureaucracy and

fund mismanagement

Involved in ANCorps: 18 secondary schools in the Yagba West LGA that

meets monthly between private and secondary school

Good relationship with the local Education Ministry office in Odo-Ere

Currently, Heritage has a boys futbol team that was resurrected by Coach

Emma Solako (HELP appointment), although sports field is usable during the

dry season, rainy season proves to be difficult due to drainage issues Heritage is land-locked and will have a limited student enrollment

Opportunities

ANCorps Partnership

o Develop practical seminars

o Training teachers on national syllabus (provided by federal govt)

o Identify excellent teachers and mobilize them to teach

o Realize on the weak involvement
