Our Philosophy

The humanistic crises in contemporary Nigerian society and the world at large demands pedagogical interventions of making skilled acquisition and development of citizenship integral parts of education at all levels. The progression of any human society depends largely on the education content and relevance that will ensure human and environmental survival and progression. Here comes a relevant pedagogy in helping to bring out the goodness in the individual. Marist pedagogy is more of an attitude than a technique. It is a creatively developed skill in teaching, which the Marist Brothers and their lay collaborators achieved by systematic experimentation and analysis of teaching and learning in general with regard to education of children, modelled on the lifestyle of Virgin Mary following in the footsteps of Saint Marcellin Champagnat.

Hence, Marist Polytechnic draws its philosophy from the National philosophy and objectives of technical education in Nigeria. That notwithstanding, its specific philosophy is progression of the Nigerian society through environmental survival, social order and economic wellbeing. This shall be attained through the development of citizenry with right morals, values, positive attitudes, sustainable knowledge and skills. Marist Polytechnic is committed to this philosophy.
