To be eligible for nomination, the school must meet the following criteria:
The school should demonstrate a clear need for support in academic enrichment and university readiness programs. An example of demonstrated need could be a school with consistently low pass rates in national examinations or high dropout rates among students. Additionally, schools facing challenges such as insufficient teaching staff, outdated teaching materials, or a lack of extracurricular opportunities may also demonstrate a clear need for support. Bogoni Boost aims to partner with schools where its programs can address these challenges and improve overall educational outcomes.
Preference will be given to schools actively engaged with their local community and committed to improving educational outcomes for their students. Consider a school that actively collaborates with local businesses to provide internship opportunities for students or organizes community events to raise funds for educational resources. Schools with strong community engagement demonstrate a commitment to holistic student development and are more likely to benefit from Bogoni Boost’s programs, which often involve community partnerships and support.
The school’s leadership, including principals and educators, should be supportive of implementing Bogoni Boost programs and initiatives. An example of leadership support could be a school principal who actively participates in professional development opportunities for teachers, advocates for additional resources to support student learning, and fosters a positive school culture focused on academic excellence. Schools with supportive leadership are better positioned to implement Bogoni Boost’s programs effectively and maximize their impact on student outcomes.
The school should be easily accessible to Bogoni Boost staff and volunteers for program delivery and support activities. Consider a school located in a central area with easy access to public transportation and adequate parking facilities for visitors. Additionally, schools with well-maintained facilities, such as classrooms, libraries, and recreational areas, are more conducive to learning and program delivery. Bogoni Boost prioritizes schools that are easily accessible to its staff and volunteers, ensuring efficient program delivery and support activities.
