School essentials every child must have before the next academic year
By Ogunfowoke, Adeniyi Ayuba
Your child may feel left out among his/her peers in school without these essential school items. Feeling left out may provoke unhappiness or depression in the child. In fact, this might have a negative impact on the child’s academic performance and social skills.
For most schools, the new academic year begins in September and your child will definitely be looking forward to the new session.
You can make the resumption for the forthcoming academic year unique by providing your child with some important school items. Jumia, Nigeria’s No. 1 Shopping Destination, shares some of these school essentials.
Lunchbox set
Using a lunchbox set for packaging your kid’s food or meal is the perfect way for them to stand out from others. The lunchbox set will not only keep your child’s food warm, it will also ensure that the food is fresh and does not go bland. Using a lunchbox set is the sure way to keep your child healthy.
Backpack
Your child cannot do without a backpack. This is where all your child’s books, pencils, crayons and other school items are safely kept. A backpack will guard against any forms of stealing.
School shoes
Every child needs a befitting and appropriate shoe for school. It makes them appear smart and tidy. Today, school shoes are quite affordable and you do not need to break the bank to get one. You can find a variety of shoes to select from on Jumia.
Kids learning and feeding table
Almost every parent must have experienced the pain of arranging and rearranging their home after ‘Junior’ scattered everything all in the name of doing an assignment. The question is: will this continue this new academic session? Definitely not. You can sort this out by buying kids learning and feeding table. So, whenever your kids have anything like an assignment, they can easily use the learning table.
Kids educational learning tablet
The technology age is upon us and of course, children cannot be left out of this march. That is why educational learning tablets have been developed to aid their educational growth. These tablets are loaded with helpful academic materials that will be useful to your child.

Fake University Degree Holders Soon To Be Fished Out And Arrested – Minister Of Education Announces
The Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, on Tuesday, said security agencies will go after individuals with fake university certificates in the country.
According to the minister, the individuals will be tracked after the committee set up by the Federal Government to investigate the activities of university certificate racketeers in the country submits its report.
The Federal Government had set up an Inter-Ministerial Investigative Committee on Degree Certificate Milling to probe the activities of certificate racketeers following an investigative report published by Daily Nigerian which exposed the activities of degree mills in the Benin Republic.
The investigative report, which exposed the illegalities perpetrated by some tertiary institutions in the West African countries, led to the Nigerian government placing a ban on the accreditation and evaluation of degrees from Benin Republic and Togo.
The committee set up by the Federal Government was also tasked with investigating Nigerian private universities established in the last 15 years. Recently, the committee invited memoranda from the public. Selected members of the committee also visited institutions in the Benin Republic.
While speaking at the first quarterly citizens engagement in Abuja on Tuesday, the education minister, Mamman, said;
“On the issue of the fake degrees, we set up a committee and we expect them to submit their reports soon. Once the report is submitted, I can assure you that individuals with fake certificates will be apprehended. They will be tracked by security agencies.”
Also speaking at the engagement, the Minister of State for Education, Dr. Tanko Sununu, noted that the quarterly citizenship engagement was aimed at creating awareness of the activities of the ministry.
He noted that the engagement would “ also promote mutual understanding with stakeholders and citizens, build and sustain public trust, and improve transparency and accountability in the sector.”
“Worthy of mention is that this engagement also aims to improve efficiency and streamline government operations by identifying and addressing bottlenecks,” Sununu said.
