As part of efforts to
improve on the performance of students in both internal and external
examinations in the State public schools, the Lagos State Ministry of Education
has directed all students promoted to SS3 to resume on Monday, September 5,
2016 for a week extra coaching classes slated for September 5 - 9,
2016.
The Permanent
Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. Adesina Odeyemi disclosed this recently, noting
that the resumption ahead of the 19th September, general resumption date, was to
prepare them for the Mock Examination which will determine the students who
will be registered for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination
(WASSCE) in 2017.
While maintaining that
the mock examinations will start with practical papers from Wednesday,
September14 to
Friday, September16, the theory aspect will commence on Monday, September 19,
2016.
The Permanent
Secretary urged the students to attend the extra coaching and be punctual as
attendance will be strictly monitored, adding that this was the only way they
could appreciate the commitments of the State public school teachers who brave
all odds to embrace a better future for the children and encourage them to
achieve more in the sector.
He also appealed to
parents to assist government by providing basic needs to their children/wards
such as books, school uniforms and all learning materials, as well as counsel
their wards to ensure good upbringing while urging them to also set aside their
time to show interest in their children/wards academic activities.
