Lagos State Government has
directed the JSS3 students who are registered for National Examination Council
(NECO) Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) to resume on Monday,
August 10, to prepare for the examination slated to commence on August 24.
This, according to the
government, is in furtherance to the earlier pronouncement directing SS3 and
Technical Studies (TEC3) students in the state to resume on Monday, August 3,
2020 to enable them revise and sit for their forthcoming West African Senior
School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and NABTEB.
However, the Commissioner for
Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, who made the pronouncement in her office at
the Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, said the JSS3 students who are waiting to write
BECE organized by the Lagos State Examinations Board are exempted from
resuming.
She said: “Only those students
who are registered for NECO BECE which is scheduled to commence on the 24th of
August, 2020 are permitted to resume, other JSS3 students waiting to write BECE
organized by the Lagos State Examinations Board would soon be informed of the
scheduled dates of their examination.”
The Commissioner stated that
administrators of both public and private schools are expected to ensure full
compliance with the COVID-19 guidelines for schools re-opening in their
respective schools as the State Government’s officials will be on ground to
monitor situations in all schools across the State.
While urging students to be fully
prepared for the forthcoming examinations and devote more time to their
studies, the Commissioner explained that government has made appropriate
arrangements to make learning conducive and the conduct of the examination
successful.
She, however, urged students and
members of staff to adhere strictly to proper hygienic guidelines and ensure
the provision of sanitizers, wash hand basin, thermometers and other essential
items in public and private schools across the State, stressing that the
washing of hands, wearing of face masks and the maintenance of social
distancing must be adhered to.
