S.M.I.L.E EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH: INTERACTIVE PANEL SESSION
Organizing periodic Educational Outreaches across schools is a major focal point of our programs. This special intervention seeks to address gaps that have been identified as limiting factors in the performance of students in public schools.
The panel session held during the Mathematics Week was revealing and mind-blowing as it provided a safe place for students to express their fears, myths and misconceptions about mathematics; and also enabled them air their suggestions to the school management.
No doubt, the interactive panel session provided a platform for students and teachers to share their thoughts and perception about Mathematics and how students performance and learning experience can be improved.
Special thanks to our panel moderator- S.M.I.L.E’s Program Coordinator, Mrs Ajibola Babalola for driving the conversation and the awesome mathematics teachers – Mrs Oluremi Ladipo, Mr Stephen Ola, and students- Miss Racheal Alabi and Miss Taiwo Jimoh.
We are also grateful to Master Osejoro Dejo (S.M.I.L.E 2022 Change Champion of the Year) who shared his journey towards becoming a Maths Champion with his peers.
It was indeed a learning curve for everyone.

S.M.I.L.E EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH: FOUNDER’s CHARGE
S.M.I.L.E a youth leadership development and mentoring nonprofit organization is on a mission to raise young leaders who can lead change wherever they find themselves despite their age.
One of the special highlights of the S.M.I.L.E Educational Outreach held at Jagunmolu Girls Senior Grammar School, Lagos was the charge by our dear founder- Mrs Bimpe Bamgbose-Martins. She spoke on the topic: Becoming a young Leader during the 2023 Mathematics Week Program.
She encouraged the students to embrace and learn skills that can help them stand out as young leaders, adding that mathematics enhances critical thinking and analytical skills.
She also urged them to discover their strengths/passion, be the best version of themselves, keep learning and solving problems around them because they are not too young to lead change just like their peers in S.M.I.L.E’s Young Leaders Club.
