EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Lagos State Government has distributed e-learning devices to students of the newly established Comprehensive Schools in Lagos State as part of its efforts to strengthen the Education and Technology pillar of its T.H.E.M.E.S agenda.
The e-learning devices were recently given to students at Wahab Folawiyo Comprehensive High School in Ikoyi and Ogunmodede Comprehensive High School in Epe in the Lagos State Education District III in order to provide easy access to all academic materials that aid their learning ability.
Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, Commissioner for Education, stated during the presentation that the devices have been embedded with various learning materials, including pictures of the world’s 100 most influential people, to inspire students to greatness, among other useful learning items.
Mrs. Lucy Omoaka, Director, Comprehensive Schools, represented the Commissioner at the event and urged the recipients of the learning devices to make good use of them in order to improve their academic and vocational performance.
Dr. Olufunke Oyetola, Tutor-General/Permanent Secretary of Education District III, praised the State Government for the commendable initiative, saying that the device will make learning more appealing to students.
She revealed that by September 2022, 50 more Comprehensive Schools would be added to the existing ones across the State, urging students to use the devices wisely while also serving as good ambassadors to encourage the government to do more.
The TG/PS equally advised parents present at the presentation to encourage the students to use the devices for the desired purpose.
In another development, Dr. Oyetola commended students of Junior Secondary Schools presently writing Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) as well as senior students writing WAEC at Lagos Island and Eti Osa zones for their conduct.
