ASTEC and Parents - A Partnership that Drives Excellence

At Adventist Secondary Technical College, we recognize that true educational excellence thrives where strong partnerships are nurtured. Among the many forces that sustain our progress, the unwavering support and active engagement of our parents remain one of the most compelling. ASTEC is a school where the voices, insights and constructive observations of parents are not only welcomed but valued as essential contributions to our collective mission.

We believe education is most impactful when the home and the school walk hand in hand. This synergy shapes character, strengthens discipline, and enhances academic outcomes. Through open communication, collaborative planning and meaningful dialogue, our parents continue to enrich the decisions we make and the direction we take. Their participation in school programmes, feedback structures, academic reviews and moral support reinforce our commitment to raising students who are intellectually grounded, spiritually rooted and socially responsible.

At ASTEC, partnership is not a formality; it is a culture. It is a deliberate, dynamic relationship built on trust, respect and shared responsibility for the success of every learner. As we look ahead, we remain grateful for the steadfast involvement of our parents and reaffirm our dedication to sustaining this productive alliance. Together, we will continue to inspire excellence, model integrity and shape futures worthy of God’s purpose.

We move forward with confidence, strengthened by the partnership that continues to define and elevate ASTEC.

A Renewed Mandate of Service: Pastor A. C. Nwanma, PhD, Re-Elected Principal and Elevated to ENUC Associate Secretary

At the almost concluded 4th Quinquennial Constituency Session of the Eastern Nigeria Union Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the delegates once again expressed their confidence in Pastor Ahaoma Chigozirim Nwanma, PhD. Having served with distinction as the Principal of the Adventist Secondary Technical College (ASTEC), Pastor Nwanma was re-elected to continue as Principal and additionally entrusted with the significant responsibility of serving as the Associate Secretary of the Eastern Nigeria Union Conference (ENUC). This expanded mandate reflects both his exemplary leadership at ASTEC and the high regard in which he is held within the wider administrative structure of the Church.

Over the years, Pastor Nwanma’s administration has been marked by deliberate governance, academic excellence, and a steadfast commitment to building an institution grounded in spiritual maturity and disciplined scholarship. We pray that his contributions to the Union will likewise demonstrate clarity of vision, organizational competence, and a sincere dedication to the mission of the Church.

Alongside his re-election, several other leaders were elected to serve in various capacities, forming a strengthened team prepared to guide the Union with renewed purpose throughout the next quinquennium.

As Pastor Nwanma embraces his continued and expanded responsibilities, we urge the entire ASTEC community to keep him and all newly elected officers, in earnest prayer. May God endow them with insight, resilience, and divine wisdom as they labour in His vineyard, and may their service yield enduring impact to God’s glory.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT!

The just-concluded Week of Spiritual Emphasis at ASTEC, held from October 19th to 25th, 2025, was nothing short of a divine encounter! The atmosphere throughout the week was charged with the presence of God, hearts were stirred, lives were changed, and the message of purpose rang loud and clear.

By the end of the program, 46 souls, made up of young adults and staff, made the life-transforming decision to surrender completely to God. It was a sight of pure joy and deep conviction as heaven rejoiced over each soul.

Indeed, this was more than just another spiritual exercise, it was a revival. God visited His people, and His Spirit moved mightily among us.

To Him alone be all the glory!
