Education is the best legacy all parents can give to their child. Hence, it is very mandatory that you go extra-miles towards ensuring that your children are enrolled into schools that will bring the best out of them both academically and morally.
Providing quality education isn’t restricted to tertiary institutions only, it begins from the elementary or primary school, to the secondary school level, down to university stage.
However, tertiary education seems to be the most regarded level of education in Nigeria because many parents lay more emphases on the kind and type of university they want for their children.
Many students love an institution where there is a balance between academics and extra-curricular activities. This is why they often choose University of Calabar.
