Leaders of faith-based educational institutions are making a case for what they say is a deeper, more complete approach to schooling — one that balances intellectual development with moral character, spiritual grounding and preparation for life beyond academics. Punch Newspapers+2Businessday NG+2
At Precious Cornerstone University (PCU), for example, the Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor urged parents to consider faith-based universities to ensure children receive holistic training in learning, character, morality and discipline. Punch Newspapers They emphasised that education should not be restricted to passing exams — but should aim to create critical thinkers, ethical leaders, and self-reliant graduates with values, professional competence and a sense of societal responsibility.

Similarly, institutions like Bowen University have pointed to their achievements in research, scholarship and postgraduate growth as evidence that faith-based education can produce globally competitive scholars — combining academic excellence with spiritual grounding and social responsibility.

Other schools — including Anchor University in Lagos and Babcock University — describe their model as “holistic learning,” where emphasis is placed on “training the head, hands, and heart.” That means not only core academic instruction, but also spiritual formation, ethical values, life skills, and personal development.

For many parents and educators, this holistic approach resonates strongly — especially in a context where beyond academic attainment, there is also need for character formation, moral discipline, and readiness to contribute positively to society. Faith-based schools argue they are uniquely positioned to deliver on all these fronts, offering what they call “education for life,” not just certificates.
