DCS Education services
DCS Education services offer excursions as a means to broaden the students’ horizons about the outside world. Our excursions are planned and executed to fulfill this purpose. An excursion to a biscuit manufacturing company for example, will include a tour round the plant for the learners to see the various processes biscuit has to pass through to get into their hands. A tour guide is available to explain and entertain questions from learners thereby stimulating learning.

A Day Out in Badagry
The Students are picked up by us in the morning and taken to Badagry; The aim of the excursion is for them to learn about the slavery trade that happened years ago. Places of notable interest includes ‘The Mobee Royal Family Museum, Seriki Faremi Williams Abass Court, The Brazillian Baracoon, A baracoon of 40 slave cells. Learners would also visit the “point of no return” which is an island in Badagry where slaves were being exported to foreign countries via the cargo ships. In the Museums, the students are allowed to take some pictures and see relics of the slave era. They will also visit the First Storey Building, The first Primary school in Nigeria are also places of interest to visit in Badagry.
Amongst the benefits of this excursion is that the children would understand the ways people were dehumanized during the era but also be empathic towards the way they treat others less fortunate than them.

A Visit To Olumo Rock
Olumo rock, sits in the ancient city center of Abeokuta – a name which means “Under the rock”. Abeokuta was originally inhabited by the Egba people who found refuge at the Olumo rock during inter-tribal wars in the 19th century. The rock provided sanctuary to the people as well as a vantage point to monitor the enemy’s advance leading to eventual triumph in war. The town of Abeokuta eventually grew as these new settlers spread out from this location.
Students will visit the museum, water fountain and even take an elevator that will provide even the climbing-challenged a wonderful view of the surrounding city. The students might decide to climb up the man-made stairs carved into the rock. While this sounds easy enough, it leaves many breathless and ready to take a break to rest on the benches under the trees growing from the rock and enjoy some clean breeze. All along the way, students will see carvings in the rock, cowrie-studded statues and the ancient abode of the priestesses who live in huts on the rock. On top of the Rock, students would see Abeokuta from an aerial view and also see the Ogun River as they descend down the Rock.
Students will also visit the ancient Itoku market which is outside the Olumo. The market is the center of the indigenous Abeokuta industry of tie-and-dye, locally known as adire.
