Sterling Bank Plc, in partnership with Caleb Group of Schools, has concluded plans to hold the second edition of the Parenting Workshop under its One Education Initiative. The event with the theme: ‘Enhancing your child’s capacity for learning,’ will hold on Saturday May 23rd, 2015 at the Auditorium of Caleb International School, Magodo, Lagos.

The scheme is aimed at educating parents and guardians on how to nurture their children and bring out the best in them, in furtherance of the bank’s commitment to the development of education in Nigeria.

Shina Atilola, group head, Strategy and Communications, Sterling Bank, described the Parenting Series as a family growth and education initiative designed to support parents’ desire to optimize the potentials and talents of their children, noting that the purpose of the workshop is to aid parents and guardians in dealing with topical issues that affect the upbringing and training of their wards in the 21st century vis-à-vis the practical day-to-day realities of life in Nigeria.

Atilola said the involvement of the bank in the second edition of the workshop was informed by the overwhelming turn out of parents who attended the first edition, “The level of attendance by the parents at the first workshop exceeded our projection. The workshop was well attended by both parents with their children. This shows the value parents place on the workshop and the need to bring up their children in a worthy manner, not only to themselves but the family and the country at large. Their contributions are noteworthy,” he said.
