A two-star review. A reply from the school. A slogan that was never supposed to exist.
A user posts a public two-star review describing what they perceived as the school's priority order. The review is one person's stated opinion, posted publicly under their own account.
The reply was posted from the account labelled as the verified owner of the school's listing on the review platform. The reply does not deny the original review's claim and uses the word “slogan” to describe the phrase. Whether this represented school policy, individual sarcasm, or an unauthorised post is unknown to this page's authors.
At the time the screenshot was captured, the reply was still publicly visible and no public correction had been located by this page's authors. The current status is whatever the school chooses it to be — they may have since edited, deleted, or replaced it.
We didn't write the words being quoted — they were posted publicly from an account labelled as the school's verified owner. This page exists as a permanent archive of that public post to ensure institutional accountability.
The exchange below is reproduced verbatim from a public review platform, as observed and screenshotted by this site's authors. Original post may have since been edited, deleted, or replied-to further; this snapshot represents what was visible at the time of capture.
Emmanuel is so bad the good thing abt it is that it means God is with us and they care abt ur uniform more than education like doesn't matter education first.
i know right our uniform is the best and our slogan uniform first education last

Skirt length. Sock height. Top button. Blazer buttoned. Hat on the way to the bus.
Adjacent to uniform. Therefore, also paramount.
What the uniform represents when seen at the bus stop.
Important — but mostly because lateness affects uniform inspection.
Encouraged, provided the uniform is worn correctly throughout.
Per the literal reading of the words “education last” in the reply quoted above. As explicitly stated by the school's verified account: "education last".

Select your relationship to the school to understand the practical implications of a system where aesthetic compliance officially outranks educational outcomes.
When an institution's verified account publicly states that education is its lowest priority, it shifts the baseline of trust. If you are currently considering enrolling your child here, you must ask the administration direct, uncomfortable questions.
Understanding your environment is the first step to navigating it safely. The institution has publicly confirmed that aesthetic compliance (uniform) outranks academic instruction (education).
For teaching staff, working under an administration that publicly ranks "education last" presents a unique professional and ethical challenge. Your duty of care and commitment to pedagogy may frequently conflict with management's stated priorities.
We are compiling an audio archive documenting the "education last" priority structure in practice. If you are a current or former student, parent, or staff member who has experienced or witnessed academic outcomes being actively sacrificed for aesthetic compliance, we want your story.
