In partnership with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information (MOEYI), One on One Educational Services will be offering secondary school students free online summer classes, in keeping with the ministry’s Recover Smarter – National School Learning and Intervention Plan.

The summer classes are being held with the aim to help students get up to speed in subject areas they may have fallen short in throughout the academic year, given the challenges that have beset the education sector since the majority closure of face to face classes in March 2020.

Speaking to the partnership, Ricardo Allen, CEO of One on One Educational Services, stated: “It’s a tremendous pleasure to be partnering with the MOEYI on this well-needed initiative for the nation’s high school students. The summer school programme, while addressing learning gaps that may exist for many high school students will also feature super fun enrichment courses such as Game Design, Animation and lots more.”

He added: “It is summer after all and we are cognizant that students need a break from the rigours of what
has been a challenging year. The programme has therefore been crafted to be dynamic, fun and
educational.”

‘A Summer To Remember’, as the programme is being called, is free for all secondary school students and will focus on core courses, Mathematics and English Language, with enrichment programmes including Digital Media and its monetisation, entrepreneurship, money management, coding/blockchain technology, performing arts,
game design and animation.

All students participating in the summer school initiative will be assessed using a Skills Gap Test. This
will ascertain the learning gaps for each student and plot a personalised journey required over the period.

“We believe that after over a year of disruption in the education system, it is important that students
understand their gaps in knowledge and take personalised courses to help address those needs,” said Allen.

The ‘A Summer to Remember’ online programme kicked off on July 5 and will run for eight weeks to August 27. To join the free online summer school programme interested students can go to www.OneX.co and click on the Summer School banner, create their profile, then start learning.
