Executing this year’s edition of the Rume’s Annual Educational Empowerment programme, the foundation distributed writing materials worth hundreds of thousands of naira, to the pupils of Local Education Authority Primary School Mile 8 Fer.

The leader of the foundation Raphael Rume said the idea of reaching out to primary school pupils was conceived last year during his Almata anniversary where they contributed immensely to the progress and development of the school, after some in-depth reflection, he asked, what have he done for the primary school he graduated from; the foundation of his educational attainment started from primary school, he added.

Raphael lamented that after carrying some research, he found out that some primary school pupils don’t go to school with writing materials, some will use one exercise book for all the subjects and some will simply reuse their elder’s sibling writing materials.

He said when he reflected on all these mind-boggling issues and coupled with the fact that almost all the secondary schools and higher institutions have class associations and alma mater who are passionately contributing to the development of their former schools why not do the same to the school that was responsible for the foundation of his educational attainment.

Raphael said there is no office either military, politics or government you can attain without primary certificates, therefore, it behoves on us all who graduated most especially from public schools to go back to form all pupils association or in the alternative help a pupil with just an exercise book; it will go along to way to transform our educational system.

Raphael said among the writing materials distributed were exercise books, pencils, biros, cleaners, and each student will get a book for each of the subjects offered.   

The Guest Speaker at the occasion Sunday Kaze noted that Primary education begins at around age 5 for the majority of Nigerians. Students spend six years in primary and graduate with a school-leaving certificate, and it is "free", "compulsory" and a right of every child.

He said proper education of the child is a basic tool for effective child upbringing and overall societal development.

He said the Federal Government of Nigeria in 2004 articulate the goals of primary education to among other things include the following: inculcate permanent literacy and numeracy, and ability to communicate effectively; lay a sound basis for scientific and reflective thinking; give citizenship education as a basis for effective participation in and contribution to the life of the society; mould the character and develop sound attitude and morals in the child; develop in the child the ability to adapt to the child’s changing environment; give the child opportunities for developing manipulative skills that will enable the child function effectively in the society within the limits of the child’s capacity, and provide the child with basic tools for further educational advancement.

The education Secretary Pankshin Local Government Council Mrs Julie Jwat who was accompanied by the Directors, supervisors and other staff expressed her deepest appreciation noting that the legacy of the late teacher Thomas H Rome lives, she added that this kind gesture will remain indelible in the hearts of the pupils, they will continue to tell the story in their homes.

She said the government will always give commendation to those who help schools in their communities.  

The Chairman FECODA Hon Edward Dankum Sunkur commended Raphael Rume for his philanthropic gesture; he urged Fer Sons and Daughters to key into this laudable initiative for the development of their nations, he said among these pupils are potentials engineers, scientists, educationists and future leaders.

The FECODA Chairman appealed to the government to increase the numbers of teachers in the Fer land to meet up with ever-increasing numbers of pupils.

Goodwill messages came from The Priest-in-Charge Saint Francis Pastoral Area, Reverend Father. Golit Williams, The PRO National Association of Fer Students, NAFES, the Chairman Parent Teachers Association Mr. Livinus Daniyor, The Mai Angwa, Dah James Bande, UBE Zonal Education Supervisor Mr. Mr. Stephen Zakka, The representative of parents Mrs. Amos Comfort and the representatives of former pupils of the LEA Mile 8 Madam Cecilia Elisha Turgak, both of them pour encomiums on Mr. Raphael Rume for the remarkable initiatives.
