Olajide, who stated this at a programme themed, ‘House Points Assembly,’ held at the Ikoyi campus of the school, noted that positive reinforcement plays a vital role in motivating children to embrace ethical behaviour and grow into responsible adults.
Apart from encouraging positive behaviour, she said celebrating children with exceptional moral behaviours would inspire others.
To buttress her recommendation, Olajide tasked schools to move beyond focusing solely on academics and invest in developing moral values in children through positive reinforcement.
“At Greensprings School, our mission is to shape well-rounded individuals who possess strong character. We prioritise character development by instilling values such as honesty, integrity, respect, perseverance, accuracy, and good behaviour in our students. Students who embody these values are consistently celebrated, and this approach has made our school an environment that nurtures students to become responsible global citizens,” she stated.
