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.
