The Lagos State Assessments Board has closed plans to hold a one-day sensitisation program for the revalidation of assessment codes of public and endorsed non-public schools in the state.
As per an assertion by the Head of the Board, Adebayo Orunsolu, the program has been planned for Thursday, October 26, 2023, at the Meeting Room of the Board at 10:00 a.m.
Orunsolu expressed that the goal of the activity was to teach and edify the welcomed relationship on the requirement for public and endorsed non-public schools in the state to revalidate their assessment codes.
He noted that the exercise would go a long way to eliminate existing multiple codes, facilitate proper documentation of records and sanitise the information of schools to the database of the board.
“Representatives of each of the under-listed associations, particularly the president and the secretary, are expected to attend the sensitization programme,” he added.
The director listed expected bodies as the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, Association of Islamic Model Schools, League of Muslim Proprietors, Association of Formidable Education Developers, and the Lagos State Baptist Conference.
Others are the Lagos Methodist Schools, Christ Redeemers Schools Management, Association of Providers of Education in Nigeria (APEN), Catholic Mission Schools, Lagos Anglican Diocese, Association of International Schools Educators of Nigeria (AISEN), Accredited Private Schools Union (APSU), Education Reformers Association of Nigeria amongst others.
The Board, therefore, implored the invited associations to inform schools under their jurisdiction of the development to enable them to take part in the exercise, which will be held from November 1 to November 15
“The verification exercise on the revalidation of Schools’ Examination Codes is scheduled to hold for two (2) weeks at the premises of the Lagos State Examinations Board, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos.
“The Schools to be attended to during the first week are those operating in Agege, Ifako Ijaiye, Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos Mainland, Apapa, Amuwo Odofin and Ikeja Local Government Areas of the state.
“Others operating in Alimosho, Somolu, Kosofe, Eti OSA, Epe, Surulere, Ojo, Badagry and Oshodi Local Government Areas have been scheduled for the second week of the verification exercise,” he explained.
Orunsolu recorded the expected archives for the affirmation of the current school assessment codes as; Letter of Endorsement from the Service of Training, Subject Acknowledgment Examination (SRI) Report for BECE as it were.
Likewise, a duplicate of the old installment receipts, Receipt for installment for School Code, School Code Endorsement Letter and Installment receipts for the last assessment.
The Board likewise requested the participation of all concerned partners in the State to make the activity an effective one.
