The proprietress, Laurel Schools, Jakande Estate, Lagos, Mrs. Christiannah Onawole, has advised parents to have the number of children they can cater for.
 
She said that family planning would ensure that each member of the family gets the maximum support possible to succeed.
 
Onawole said this on Saturday during the 9th Biennial Inter House Sports event of the school in Lagos.
While urging government not to see schools as cash cows, Onawole added that sporting activities enabled pupils to be mentally alert and receptive to learning.
 
She said, “These are modern times. You no longer give birth to children just because you need people to help you on the farm. The world has gone digital and it is not acceptable to have many children and have some of them stay at home because you cannot sponsor their education.
 
“Children and their parents deserve quality living and a manageable family is the first step to achieving that. Sports help pupils to be mentally alert and healthy. Inter house sports is part of education because you educate not only the mind but also the body.’’
