Onitsha-based Myrtle Vine Academy has won the Global School Connect in London, UK, drawing nationwide accolades and commendations from the First Lady of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo.
This comes a few weeks after another Anambra-based school, St John Vianney College, Ukwulu, won an international debate amongst Nigerian and United Kingdom schools. Nonye Soludo acknowledged the feats by the schools, saying it is part of an ongoing revolution in Anambra State’s education sector.
“I wish to celebrate the brilliant students of Myrtle Vine Academy, Onitsha, Anambra State, who just conquered the world in the recent Global School Connect tournament in London, United Kingdom.
“By demonstrating extraordinary intelligence, our students defeated their counterparts from other countries to clinch the Director’s Award for Social Enterprise and then emerged runner-up to bring home the Creative Impact Award.
“What these amazing kids have shown is nothing far from Anambra’s universal identity. Our state is, unarguably, a cradle of greatness and excellence. She said.
The First Lady thanked the Onitsha-based school’s management for maintaining a high standard of education and inspiring students of the school to success. She maintained that the state government will continue to prioritize quality, competitive, accessible, and inclusive educational opportunities for every student in Anambra State.
