The founder of a foremost private school in Abia, International Excellent Child Academy, Uratta, Aba, Nze Uwaoma Nnadi, has called on the Federal Ministry of Education to introduce an electoral processes and values curriculum at the basic education level of the country.
Nnadi, who made the call during activities that heralded the election of new student leadership of the school, said such an introduction will help to inculcate electoral processes and values in the citizenry from the basics.
“We have had challenges in our electoral processes in the country over the years, resulting in election malpractices with their attendant endless post-election litigations.
“These electoral challenges could be firmly tackled if election, its processes, and values are taught to our children from the basics.”

Aguguom Nnadi, director of the school, said it was imperative that governments at all levels introduce electoral processes in schools in the country.
He said when the citizens are introduced to politics from the basics, it will enable the right people to participate in politics in the country and the needed leaders to be elected.
“Look at what happened in Abia in 2023; it was because the right candidates participated in the election that a governor in the person of Dr. Alex Otti was elected, and you can see what he is doing in Abia today.”
After supervising the election, which led to the emergence of new student leaders in the school, Nnadi was of the view that, with the level of political awareness being imbibed in the students, they will fit into the nation’s political trajectory.
