The National
Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), Lagos State Chapter says
it would commence unified examinations for pupils in private schools in the
state in June.
The association’s President, Mr.
Abayomi Otubela, speaking in Lagos said the development was part of efforts to
ensure standards in private schools in the state.
Otubela said that the examination to be
held every session would enable all proprietors to assess the performance of
their pupils and make improvements where necessary.
“All private schools will be writing a
joint examination aside from their final exams, these are all measures to
ensure qualitative education.”
According to Otubela, a maiden quiz
competition among private schools is scheduled to hold on March 19 at the ward
level during the NAPPS South-West Delegates Conference.
Otubela also spoke on the gruesome
murder of students just as he condemned the abduction of 15 female students in
Yobe State by gunmen, describing the act as barbaric.
“We challenge them to direct their
cause if any, to their target enemies and not at innocent school children. We
also call on the Federal Government to do more in tackling the excesses of
these insurgents.
