Aduvie Pre-University College, Abuja, is said to have been given approval by the Ontario Ministry of Education, Canada, to run the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) in Nigeria in partnership with Bronston Canadian Academy, Ontario.

OSSD is the secondary school graduation diploma required to gain admission into universities in Canada. It is also accepted worldwide as a university entry requirement.

To obtain OSSD, a student must earn a minimum of 30 credits, including 18 compulsory credits and 12 optional credits. Students must also complete 40 hours of community involvement activities and must pass the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, or successfully complete the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC).

Mr. Olusoji Abiodun, Head of School, Aduvie International School, said the benefits of the partnership included “our pre-university students get an Ontario Student Number (OSN), which is Canadian student trademark.

The classes, assessment (OSSLT) and community involvement work would be done here at Aduvie under the supervision of Ontario Education Quality and Accountability Office, which will save parents from the foreign exchange cost of sending their wards to Canada.

“Students who undergo this programme are eligible to scholarship not less than 4,000 Canadian dollars (CAD$) in any Canadian university due to the standard of the programme.

“Student’s WAEC/NECO/IGCSE result or faculty does not matter as Ontario Diploma allows students move from non-science courses to science courses and vice versa; and also overrides O’Level result,” the head of school said.
