JAP-F scholarship awards to students in Nursery, Primary and secondary schools from various host communities Ikara local government. The move, hailed by various stakeholders as a major boost for educational empowerment in the host communities, is a win-win situation for everyone concerned.
JAP-F believes that education is the bedrock of development and has continued to improve on the country’s educational system through the award of scholarships and provision of books to students in its host communities.
To bridge the gap in Nigeria’s education sector and allow it contribute effectively to economic development, JAP-F took up a proactive measure by embarking on an integrated tripartite approach to boost quality of education in the school around its host communities.
This approach includes a scholarship programme for students, a Train-The-Trainers Capacity Building Initiative for teachers and school infrastructural projects to improve school structure.
