He mentioned that the college initially did not offer an early grade program but took proactive steps to introduce it, resulting in an impressive increase in student participation.
Notably, even male students have shown tremendous interest, surpassing their female counterparts in terms of enrollment statistics.
Dr. Wilson further revealed that the college has established a child development centre, which will soon be fully operational.
This center aims to provide practical training opportunities for Early Grade Trainees.
It will also serve as an educational facility for the children of the college’s workforce, who have children with ages ranging from three months to three years.
“I believe in providence and I believe God is directing our path,” Dr. Wilson expressed.
