Parents Should Allow Thier Children To Study The Courses Of Their Choice

Vice-Principal, Corona Secondary School, Mr. Paul Oba has urged parents to allow their children study whatever course they are good at, nothing that success in does not only depend on your discipline but on what you have passion in. He stated this during Corona Secondary School’s   three days Art Exhibition held at Gbagada branch of the school to mark the school 60th anniversary.

He urged parents to let go of their child who have talents in art. Records abound out there about people who went through education to do what their parents want them do. At the end of the day, they still came back to what they have passion for. People are earning their livelihood on things they take as hobby. Oba said: “It is not about forcing the child to do what you want, if you do, the child will not be happy. Some people who obeyed their parents doing what they want, ended up dropping it for what they love. We have a lot of parents in our school who came to us to say, “I went through this and I don’t want my children to go through that.”
