The Lagos State Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, has said 12 newly-introduced, fit-for-purpose comprehensive schools will take off across the six education districts in the state on Monday.
According to her, two comprehensive schools had been established in each of the six education districts in the state.
She explained that the comprehensive school system provides suitable career-ready skills set to students with different profiles of intelligence or intellectual competence.
Adefisayo said, “The current path is too narrow an option for the ever-changing skill requirements of the workforce.
“The essence of establishing the comprehensive schools is to produce students who can fit into the workplace requirements.
”It is a fit-for-purpose education plan that will provide opportunities for employment and a path to entrepreneurship,” the commissioner added.
Adefisayo explained that the school would start with those in Senior Secondary One (SS1) and teaching/training would begin with core skills such as Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship, Communication, Marketing and Sales and Digital Literacy for the pilot phase.
