A Life Dedicated
to Children

Mrs. Modupe Olufunmilayo Macaulay is an educator, trainer, and passionate child advocate with over 30 years of experience spanning secretarial practice, secondary school teaching, tertiary-level lecturing, and school administration.

Her teaching career began in 1991 as a volunteer children's church teacher, which inspired her to pursue formal education qualifications at the University of Lagos. She served at Holy Child College, Topville College, and as a lecturer at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education — earning the Best Lecturer of the Year award on two consecutive occasions.

In 2015, driven by her lifelong passion for children's education and mentorship, she founded Cortina Nursery & Primary School. She has also been appointed by WAEC to develop trade subject syllabuses, and received the prestigious Global Essence Education Award (2016).
