Asipa Kaoli Olusanya, founder and Chief Learning Officer of KKES, speaking on the core values of the schools and why parents should prepare and trust the future of the children and wards in the school, said that KKES upholds excellent character.
He added that KKES believe in being accountable to stakeholders, especially parents and the society.
“Our core values are the principles that guide our behavior and determine what is acceptable and unacceptable. They are what we stand for, and we take them very seriously”, the educationist said.
“At Kith & Kin Educational Schools, we believe in righteousness, decorum and excellent character in all our interactions and engagements and in providing a high-quality education. That’s why we have developed the framework of our core values, which we refer to as ‘ASLING’: accountability, service, lifelong learning, integrity and faith in God.
“We understand that we are accountable to all stakeholders, including the government, external examiners, parents, learners, and our immediate community. However, we believe that our accountability to parents is more critical since they have entrusted their children to us to educate, nurture, and help them acquire useful skills for success in life.
“As educators, we share the responsibility with parents to provide education as a social service that is affordable, available and inclusive. We believe that investing in our children today is the best way to build a better tomorrow”, Asipa Kaoli said.
KKES Chief Learning Officer also emphasized the educational institution’s attachment to critical skills and integrity which students in the school are made to imbibe.
“We also recognize the importance of lifelong learning, which is a critical skill for continuous self-education in any area of interest. We believe that to stop learning is the beginning of the mental, spiritual, and physical decline and ultimate death”, Asipa Kaoli said.
“Integrity is the most defined corporate value. It is synonymous with leadership attributes such as simplicity, sincerity of heart and intention, uprightness, transparency, genuineness and being fundamentally true to words professed. In Kith & Kin ES, we walk the talk”.
