The Director of De Wise IJMB School, Mr. Olorundare Solomon, emphasized the vital role sports play in the holistic development of students.
Describing sports as a “kini kab” (a fundamental element), Mr. Solomon highlighted the numerous benefits that activities like table tennis offer to students.
“Collaborating education with sport is essential,” Mr. Solomon stated. “Table tennis, in particular, enhances intelligence, decision-making skills, and assimilation abilities in students.”
The partnership aims to promote the integration of sports into the educational curriculum, ensuring that students receive a well-rounded education that balances academic and physical development.
By supporting the Kwara Closed Table Tennis Tournament, De Wise IJMB School is taking a proactive step in fostering a culture of sportsmanship and intellectual growth among its students.
The Kwara Closed Table Tennis Tournament is set to begin on August 10, with the closing ceremony scheduled for August 11. Prizes will be awarded to the first, second, and third-place winners in recognition of their performances.
The tournament is expected to bring together young talents from across Kwara, providing them with a platform to showcase their skills and compete at a high level.
It also serves as an opportunity for students to learn valuable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.
As the event approaches, both the school and the tournament organizers are optimistic about the positive impact this partnership will have on the students and the wider community.
