Reviving lost hope

minds of students, Direct Contact School provides more than a fertile ground for producing results.
Here is an institution where hope has been revived.
Mr Wellington Koke, the founder and director of the school, has seen students whose careers had been deemed off the rails, or even static, come back on track.
“We deal with cases where parents have almost lost hope and they have been to other institutions and failed to yield results.
“Here we make a serious contract with them and we both undertake to deliver our end of the bargain. They pay their fees and we make the children pass,” declares an ebullient Mr Koke.
“We have cases of some children we help achieve high grades because they are naturally talented and we give them guidance but we also handle severe cases where a Form Four student cannot spell the word ‘mother’ and we work with them.
“You find that some parents whose children pass three subjects out of five come here to express utmost gratitude,” said Mr Koke.
He reveals that as an institution, Direct Contact has managed to build its own brand through hard work and a sense of direction.
Its mission has always remained to provide the best educational services in the country which should manifest through quality results.
The school which started its journey last year with only 13 “O” Level students who were all repeating after having failed to pass from their previous schools is in a continuous bid to remove “FEAR”.
Says Mr Koke: “Students must remove F.E.A.R which is an acronym that stands for:
F – false
E – expectations
A – are made
R – real
“It is therefore the duty of the school to identify the false expectations of the students and turn them around into realistic expectations of passing.
“We have been granted the opportunity to run the June examination at our elite centre making it much more convenient for our students to learn and write from the same school.
“It is also a plus for our teachers who now have enough time to do examination coaching in between sessions which has proven to be very critical for reminding the candidate of the trick areas of study. More so, it eliminates the movements, which has been taking place in the past which were otherwise leading to panicking and being unsettled by writing in an unfamiliar environment surrounded by unfamiliar faces.”
A glance at the excellent infrastructure of the school, the studious yet ambient environment and the strict order that prevails at a school makes it one to make any student’s dream come true. On the other hand, the school is involved in sporting activities with other private colleges at home and abroad.
