At the Kingdom Education Summit held at the Redemption City of God in Mowe, Ogun State, Folu Adeboye, wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, and former Minister of Education Oby Ezekwesili advocated for a stronger focus on moral values and character development in Christian schools. They urged parents, teachers, and church leaders to collaborate in raising responsible children who can contribute positively to society.

Adeboye stressed that the responsibility of nurturing children should not solely fall on schools, highlighting the importance of parental support for teachers. She expressed concern over children disrespecting teachers due to their parents' social status and called for collective responsibility in correcting children’s behavior.

Adeboye also pointed out the need for improved learning facilities in rural areas, recalling instances of pupils sitting on classroom floors. Ezekwesili, in her keynote address, emphasized that church-owned schools should prioritize character development alongside academic excellence.
