The MTN Foundation commissions MTNF Science and Technology laboratory project in three public secondary schools in the Edo State.
- Idia College Benin City, Iyaro -Benin City
- Edo Boys High School, Benin City
- Sacred Heart Girls Model Secondary School, Ubiaja
Under the MTNF Science and Technology Laboratory Project, the MTN Foundation is upgrading 22 Science Laboratories in six states across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, with the aim of improving the learning and practical teaching of core science subjects (i.e. Chemistry, Physics & Biology), thus enhancing students’ academic performances in these subjects.
Four public secondary schools in the FCT have been completed and fully equipped and are ready to be commissioned.
Each of the secondary schools in the MTNF Science and Technology Laboratory Project will receive the following benefits:
- Renovation work and provision of laboratory furniture for existing laboratories
- Supply and installation of modern Science and Technology equipment
- One full year supply of consumables (materials, chemicals and reagents)
- Training of 24 Science Teachers and laboratory attendants
- A designated 5KVA generator
- Fuel supply for one year
A total of 22 schools will benefit from the first phase of this project, and already 4 schools each in Lagos, Abia and the FCT have been completed and commissioned. Three other schools in Katsina State will soon receive similar benefits.
