The Lagos State government has restated its resolve to guarantee access to education for every child in the state, in line with its Leave No Child Behind policy.
Abisola Dokunu-Adegbite, the permanent secretary, Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, gave this assurance while monitoring the commencement of the 2026 screening test for admission into model colleges and upgraded junior secondary schools, an exercise coordinated by the Lagos State Examinations Board.
Dokunu-Adegbite explained that the test forms part of the assessment process for primary school pupils seeking admission into secondary schools, noting that it also feeds into the continuous evaluation of learners across the state’s basic education system.
She commended the pupils for the ease with which they navigated computers and laptops during the exercise, and urged parents to keep making the sacrifices required to support their children’s education, describing education as the foundation and lifeline of any society.
