The Lagos State Government has charged newly approved private school owners to uphold high standards of curriculum delivery, discipline, and compliance with the state’s educational guidelines.
At the official presentation of Provisional Approval Certificates to 75 new operators at the NUT Pavilion, Alausa, Ikeja, the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr. Jamiu Alli-Balogun, reaffirmed the state’s commitment to supporting quality education across both public and private institutions.
He explained that the certification followed a rigorous accreditation process to ensure compliance with minimum requirements in infrastructure, curriculum delivery, safety, and staffing.
Alli-Balogun noted that the initiative is part of government efforts to sanitise the education sector and improve learning outcomes, stressing that education remains a critical pillar of Lagos State’s development agenda.
Commending the Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) for its role in completing the registration and documentation exercise, the commissioner urged operators to align with government policies, employ only Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria (TRCN) certified staff, and adhere strictly to safety standards.
