The Lagos State Examinations Board has concluded arrangements to hold a one-day sensitisation programme for the revalidation of exam codes of public and approved private schools.
NAN reports that Adebayo Orunsolu, the director of the board, said the sensitisation programme has been scheduled for 10 am Thursday, October 26 at the conference room of the board.
In a statement, Orunsolu said the objective of the exercise was to educate and enlighten the invited associations on the need for public and approved private schools in the state to revalidate their examination codes.
He disclosed that the exercise would go a long way to eliminate existing multiple codes.
The director said it would also facilitate proper documentation of records and also sanitise the information of schools on the database of the board.
Orunsolu said representatives of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), the Association of Islamic Model Schools, and the League of Muslim Proprietors (LEAMPS) are expected to be present.
Also expected are representatives of the Association of Formidable Education Developers (AFED) and the Lagos State Baptist Conference.
Included are the Lagos Methodist Schools, Christ Redeemers Schools Management, Association of Providers of Education in Nigeria (APEN), Catholic Mission Schools, and the Lagos Anglican Diocese.
Others are the Association of International Schools Educators of Nigeria (AISEN), the Accredited Private Schools Union (APSU), and the Education Reformers Association of Nigeria.
The board said the revalidation exercise is to be held from November 1 to 15 at the premises of the examinations board in Iyana Ipaja.
“The Schools to be attended during the first week are those operating in Agege, Ifako Ijaiye, Ikorodu, Lagos Island, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos Mainland, Apapa, Amuwo Odofin and Ikeja LGAs of the State,” the board’s director said.
“Others operating in Alimosho, Somolu, Kosofe, Eti OSA, Epe, Surulere, Ojo, Badagry and Oshodi LGA have been scheduled for the second week of the verification exercise.”
Orunsolu listed the required documents for the confirmation of the existing school examination codes as a letter of approval from the education ministry and the subject recognition inspection (SRI) report for BECE only.
Also, a copy of the old payment receipts, receipt for payment for school code, school code approval letter and payment receipts for the last examination.
