The Lagos State government is taking urgent action following the release of the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results, which revealed that over 26,000 public school students in the state failed the examination. This marks a significant concern for the state’s education system.
In response to the alarming results, the Lagos State Ministry of Education has initiated a comprehensive review of the public schools’ performance, focusing on identifying the underlying causes of the mass failure. Preliminary investigations suggest factors such as inadequate teaching resources, poor student engagement, and possible examination malpractices may have contributed to the disappointing outcomes.
To address these issues, the government is implementing a series of remedial measures. These include the establishment of intensive revision programs, retraining of teachers, and the provision of additional learning materials to enhance the quality of education in public schools. Furthermore, the government is collaborating with educational experts to develop a long-term strategy aimed at improving student performance and restoring public confidence in the state’s education system.
The Lagos State government remains committed to ensuring that every student receives a quality education and is determined to take all necessary steps to rectify the current situation. Officials have assured the public that they are working diligently to implement these corrective measures and will continue to monitor progress closely.
As the situation develops, the Lagos State Ministry of Education has pledged to keep the public informed about ongoing efforts and any additional interventions aimed at addressing the challenges faced by public school students in the 2024 WASSCE.
