M.D Nursery and Primary School, Lagos, has received the British Council International School Award in recognition of its “educational excellence”.

The international school award (ISA) is a “benchmarking scheme that accredits schools as having an outstanding level of support for nurturing global citizenship in young people and enriching teaching and learning”.

The award recognises and celebrates “exemplary practices of internationalism in schools”.

Extending felicitations on the receipt of the award, Olumide Akintunde, project officer, British Council, said it was an honour for M.D nursery and primary school to be recognised.

“We are pleased to inform you that your school’s ISA portfolio has been assessed, and your school has successfully been awarded the British Council International School Award (ISA) for the 2016/2017 round,” he said.

“We would like to congratulate the entire school body on this achievement. Well-done!”

Akintunde said different schools – from private schools to government-owned in rural areas – were shortlisted for the ISA.

Run by Julie Adedugbe, an educationist, M.D. school was established in September 1986, with the “sole aim of integrating special needs children with their regular counterpart within the same environment”.
