Teachers at "train-the-trainer" program
- Organization and hosting on an in-house "train-the trainer" program at the School premises with nine facilitators who are lead examiners for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), headed by the Head of the Department of Teacher Education at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and attended by forty-nine teachers spread across the subjects of English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Economics, Finance/Accounting, English Literature. This program was set up to target effective teaching methodology of these subjects to Junior and Senior High School students to enable them understand and perform creditably in the national examinations thus enhancing their potentials and opportunities to advance their education at the tertiary level of education.
- Provision of extramural classes for the current senior students getting ready to sit for their West African School Certificate Examination to make up for the unavoidable absence from School and the significant impact on their education in the past one year due to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
- Organization of an essay competition for all levels of the Senior High School (SS1 to SS3) as part of our program for the development of a broad-based education including liberal arts, to foster the love and development of the necessary literary skills in the students of Ibadan Grammar School.

ACTIVITIES FROM NOVEMBER 2020 TO FEBRUARY 2021
By ABRAHAM OSINBOWALE | Project Leader
- Recruitment and onboarding of IGSOSANA-sponsored teachers in English, History, Data Processing and Technical Drawing. This is in addition to the already recruited teachers in Chemistry and Mathematics who came on board in June 2020 and have been making significant impact on the grades of the students in Science subjects. The newly-recruited teachers are all highly qualified college graduates and national examiners in their various disciplines and prior to this recruitment exercise, Ibadan Grammar School Senior School (Senior High School) did not have teachers in History, Data Processing and Technical Drawing for several academic years. We envisage that the addition of these teachers will augment and facilitate the teaching and practical instructions in Information Technology and Technical Education in addition to a broad-based education with a core in the Sciences.
- Creation of a monetized incentive program to encourage the best-performing teachers based on feedback from the students, Heads of Department and the School Principals (Junior High and Senior High) and student grades/quarterly improvement data as a measure of performance evaluation.
- Award of books and monetary prizes to outstanding students for excellence in the various Science and Technical subjects, History, English Language, Sportsmanship, Civic Responsibility and Leadership.
- Engaging the School in the regular taking of inventory of the equipment and reagents and adequate stocking of materials in the Physics, Chemistry and Biology laboratories.
- Ensuring the regular maintenance and productive use of computers in the IT laboratory by the teachers and students.
