Lagos commences revalidation of schools examination codes

THE Lagos State Examinations Board has concluded arrangements to hold a one-day sensitisation programme for the revalidation of examination codes of Public and Approved Private Schools in the State.

According to a statement by Adebayo Orunsolu, Director of the Board, the programme has been scheduled for Thursday, 26th October, 2023, at the Conference Room of the Board at 10.00 a.m.

Orunsolu stated that 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 noted that the exercise would go a long way to eliminate existing multiple codes and facilitate proper documentation of records and also sanitise the information of schools on the database of the Board.

“Representatives of each of the under-listed associations, particularly the President and the Secretary, are expected to attend the sensitisation programme,” he added.

The Director listed expected bodies as the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), Association of Islamic Model Schools, League of Muslim Proprietors (LEAMPS), Association of Formidable Education Developers (AFED), and the Lagos State Baptist Conference.
