About the PNEA

The Prestige Nigeria Education Awards (PNEA) is a high profile national platform birthed to inspire, engage and foster development in Nigeria’s educational sector. The PNEA acknowledges and celebrates practitioners and stakeholders across Nigeria; who have distinguished themselves through their achievements and contributions towards improving education in Nigeria. The PNEA is endorsed by the Lagos State ministry of Education.

The PNEA was established and awarded for the first time in June 2016, with categories that cut across the academics, educational brands, Best in CSR, Educational Media and programs( TV, Radio and Newspaper), entertainment(best educational Song and best educational movie),and human capacity development platform. These categories reflected the influence of other sectors and their roles in education.

The PNEA 2017

According to Debo Olowu (the Project Director), this year PNEA, tagged “Re-Invent”, have been divided into two major categories which are the academic categories and the non-academic categories. The dynamic nature of the curriculum of the primary and secondary education necessitated the need to have categories for British and American schools. Also across Lagos states schools will receive awards of best in each local government area. Categories for university have been separated into; privately and government owned.

Battle of Brains Competition

A written quiz in mathematics and English for pupils in basic 4, students in Jss2 & ss2 will be used as one of the criteria for determining the best schools in each local government in Lagos State. It is expected that a school’s quality is reflected in the performance of their students.
