In 2018, the Ministry of Education in Kenya developed an ESD Policy for the Education Sector, which highlights the need for transformative learning and research as key in ESD. Guidelines for implementation of the policy in various levels of education were developed.

Members of RCE Ogun paid a courtesy visit to meet with the New Vice Chancellor of Covenant University Prof. Humphrey Adebayo to present their 2020 report and overview of the activities of the Centre.

In partnership with Hebron FM 95.5, RCE Ogun has recently launched the ‘EMA SMART KIDS Project as one of their programmes. The programme addresses the issue of high failure rates of Mathematics and English Language subjects of Secondary/High School students by moving them from the ‘fail zone' to the 'pass zone' within an academic session. This is done through a disruptive and sustainable educational model that is both interesting and exciting, under the motto of ‘fostering functional education for sustainable living’.
