The founder of Pasture Gate Montessori (PGMS) in Okota, Lagos has said that treating school children like containers” that need to be filled with information does not help them.

Speaking the 12th anniversary of PGMS, Courage Anakweze said schools need to create an environment that aids school children's problem-solving skills.

We still tend to treat our pupils like containers that need to be filled with information instead of creating an environment for exploration, research, and problem-solving,” Anakwueze said.

She stated that the school is planning on running a full syllabus of experiential learning that will be incorporated with highly advanced learning technology and where students' natural interests and activities will be fully developed.

PGMS was founded in January 2011 with a total of 4 pupils, under the guidance of Anakweze, a seasoned educationist with many years of teaching experience.

I have been teaching for thirteen years when I did a programme at the University of Nottingham, which opened my eyes to best practices in education,” Anakweze said.

After that programme, I knew education could be done better. So I resigned after seeking God and had a confirmation to start PGMS.'

Anakwueze insisted that PGMS does not have a secondary school yet because I believe strongly that secondary education should be more entrepreneurial in nature and should be sited on vast expanses of land.”

She explained that while the state of education in Nigeria, especially at the primary level, is noteworthy, there is a need for improvement and adoption of technology.

PGMS has since grown into an award-winning learning centre for children.

Beyond academic success, we have consistently won first-place medals and prizes in music, chess, and more,” Anakweze added.

She said PGMS is well on its way to becoming a full Montessori school where children have the opportunity to own their learning. We also look forward to becoming more technologically driven.”

The school has a friendly and accommodating environment where children are given quality care both during school hours and after school. It is also committed to creating uniform opportunities for all our pupils by providing a range of extra-curricular activities like swimming, chess, ballet and music.

Oh Yes! Students need a good environment for learning because environment matters a lot to the way students assimilate. When the classrooms are congested the student's health is at risk and most times they become restless thereby losing hope in the lectures.

Many of the federal institutions are not conducive for students to learn; don't be surprised to see students sitting on the ground during lectures: in such a situation, how do you want those students to focus? I think it is high time the federal government found something to do with the condition.

We as students also need to help ourselves when we find ourselves in such an environment; one thing to do is to be determined never to allow any situation to take over our focus for our academic excellence. The best thing you can also do is to go to the class early to avoid sitting down on the ground.

Good Learning environment is not all about the school physical space but it goes beyond that. Good learning environment can be categorized into:

Physical environment: The physical space where students learn how to be clean and an environment where the student are free from harm.

Emotional environment: Students should feel emotionally supported by their teachers and peers, and feel free to express themselves without fear of ridicule or judgment.

Social environment where the students should be encouraged to work collaboratively and develop positive relationships with their peers, as this can enhance their learning and social skills.

Education is power and it only comes to those who are impacted by the knowledge of it. There are two sides involved the teacher or facilitator and the audience or student. If there is no flow of communication between this two then no knowledge will be impacted and no lives influenced.

It is necessary to state that good education is a definition of the environment, a conducive one matters a lot. The environment entails the mode, the model, the infrastructure, and the enabling environment. All things matter a lot when talking about good education. There is no way one can boast of being impacted without paying attention and getting your mind at rest and if the environment isn't conducive the said result won't be evident at all.

A good environment is required for education to be well-placed. If it is conducive, the pupil will learn better and faster.

**Blessing**
