EDUCATIONAL VALUES

In compliance with the new curriculum instituted by the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education which includes a selection of new subjects, the management of the Rochas Foundation embarked on a recruitment exercise for new teaching staff to teach the instituted subjects in the five free Rochas Foundation Colleges.

In furtherance of this, to ensure the moral and academic success of the beneficiaries of the Rochas Foundation comprehensive scholarship, the Foundation also conducted an appraisal exercise for all existing teaching staff of the five free Rochas Foundation Colleges tagged ‘Mandatory Human Resource Exercise’ (MHRE).

The three part staff appraisal comprised of a staff training by a Foundation personnel who intimated the teachers about the appraisal exercise; the values of the Rochas Foundation and their roles as teachers. The teachers were also motivated and celebrated for their dedication to their jobs. This was followed by a written and oral appraisal session.

The aim of the staff appraisal exercise was to measure the competence, dedication and passion of all teachers of the Rochas Foundation Colleges.

According to Ms Jubemi Omabuwa the Public Relations Officer of the Foundation: ‘The Rochas Foundation appreciates her teaching staff and their dedication to their work’, she stated that in order to maintain the high standards of moral and academic excellence of the students of the Rochas Foundation colleges, the ‘Mandatory Human Resource Exercise’ would be conducted regularly for all Rochas Foundation teaching staff.

This exercise was instituted to maintain the Foundation’s goal of molding her students into effective leaders. Still addressing the press, the public relations officer stated that the education of the students would not be compromised and so this MHRE exercise was to ensure that all teachers are in line with the Foundations standards.

The staff appraisal which was instituted by the Director General of the Foundation Uloma Rochas was intended for the benefit of the teachers and to ensure that they are updated on the Foundations values of ‘educate to empower’.

The recruitment exercise for new teachers only served to comply with the new curriculum instituted by the Ministry of Education which includes new subjects that lacked teachers” and would in no way instigate the sacking of already existing staff as long as they adhere to the values of the Rochas Foundation.
