In the realm of education, the principle of “In Loco Parentis” stands as a cornerstone of the relationship between educators and their students. Translated from Latin, “In Loco Parentis” means “in the place of a parent,” and it embodies the legal and moral obligation of schools’ administrators and teachers to assume the role of a guardian in the absence of a child’s parents.

Join us as the Dean, Student Affairs, Prof. Festus Idowu Adeosun, will share his expertise and experiences, offering valuable insights to the University community and other educators, school administrators, policymakers, parents, and students.
