The State Government has revealed plans to increase the number of Comprehensive Schools across the State from the initial pilot of twelve schools to fifty.
The programme is set to begin by September to demonstrate commitment and huge investment of the government in equipping Lagos State school students to be self-reliant and skilled while in secondary school.
Commissioner for Education, Folasade Adefisayo, stated that the Comprehensive School Programme which commenced in February is poised to reduce the rate of dropout in schools as some students are disconnected with the usual academic curriculum but prefer to learn various skills.
Adefisayo emphasised that this programme would give them equal opportunities to explore their interest and train them to mastery level.
