The Epe-Division Professional Women Association (EPWA) is set to host an impactful event centered on improving access to quality education and promoting early skill acquisition among children across the Epe Division of Lagos State.
EpeInsights reports that the event, titled “Enhancing the Total Wellbeing of Children Through Quality Education and Skill Development,” will take place on Tuesday, May 2025 at 10:00 AM at the Epe Local GovernmentSecretariat Hall, Epe, Lagos.
According to the organizers, the initiative is part of EPWA’s broader commitment to youth development and community upliftment, especially in underserved areas.
The program will feature two expert-led sessions:
- Topic 1: Bridging the Gap – Urban Vs. Rural Access to Education
Speaker: Mrs. Bola Aderonojo, Principal, Alternative High School for Girls, Education District V, Lagos State. - Topic 2: Why Skill Acquisition Should Start from Childhood
Speaker: Mrs. Bisola Lawal, Proprietress, E-Reigns International Montessori School, Ikorodu.
Speaking ahead of the event, the President of EPWA emphasized the association’s focus on addressing educational inequalities and advocating for the integration of practical skills into early childhood learning.
“We believe children are the foundation of every thriving society. By giving them access to both formal education and practical skills, we are building a future generation that is knowledgeable, self-reliant, and productive,” she said.
The event is expected to bring together educators, parents, government officials and stakeholders from across the division for a collaborative dialogue on how to improve child development outcomes in both urban and rural communities.
