An agreement has been reached between parents of students of Morit International School, Ajegunle, Lagos, and the school management to pay their wards' fees with waste plastic bottles.
Over 25 parents of the low-income school have reportedly embraced the initiative whereby parents bring plastic wastes on designated days. "The money from the PET bottles is not much but it balances for what the parents can pay. My staff and I are happy with this initiative. It has improved parents' payment of school fees and it teaches the children how to manage their waste and promote a cleaner environment."
"Wecyclers come two times a week to collect the sorted waste from the parents. This is to encourage parents who do not have space in their homes to be storing the waste." The scolarship served as part payment of the school fees. The gathered recyclable brought by the parents will be used to complete the school fees for the term.
This is the most sensible news I've read so far since this year...
Thank you so much for sharing our story... CleanUpNigeria
The 20 /25 pay per kilo should be reviewed. A lot of hard work on the part of the parent , more than 1000kg to pay a fee of 7,500. Plus transport . Abba the Labour is not well appreciated and paid for . The recycling plant should review otherwise, they are tagged task masters .
Excellent innovation. 👍👍👍
Please give us examples of such schools
Pls how?
