A highly profiled private school in Akure, the Ondo state capital, Impact International Schools, has again blazed the trail by successfully conducting an online examination for its students and pupils amid the Coronavirus lockdown.
The online second term examination which is computer based, ran between Wednesday, 3rd June and Thursday, 11th June, 2020.
The Precision NG gathered that in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic which eventually caused a lockdown of economic activities in Nigeria, education inclusive, academic activities at Impact International Schools for the second term have been going on via the school’s e-learning portal known as IMPACT VIRTUAL LEARNING COMMUNITY (IVLC).
The online platform was designed for learning and interaction from the students’ and pupils’ individual homes.
With this development, the school has been able to complete the second term’s academic activities with the students and pupils in Impact High School and Impact International Nursery & Primary School respectively through online teaching and learning.
The Executive Director of the School, Chf. (Mrs) Olutoyin Ade-Unuigbe, in a statement issued from the school’s Protocol and Public Relations Office to parents and made available to The Precision NG, the institution said in preparing the students and pupils for the examination, guidelines and demo simulations were uploaded on the school’s website as well as online platforms in order to prepare the students and pupils for the task ahead.
