The Lagos State Government on Tuesday said it would no
longer allow social functions and parties in public schools just as owners of
private schools across the state have been warned to comply with rules and
regulations guiding their operations.
The Deputy Governor of the State, Dr. Mrs Idiat Oluranti
Adebule who disclosed this while briefing the media on the strategic focus of
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration on education for 2016, said the
Governor had directed that schools should no longer be used for social
functions.
She said: “The Governor has directed that schools will no
longer be used for social activities any longer. We want to implore members of
the public to report any school that violates this directive and we would
ensure that defaulting schools are sanctioned accordingly.”
Adebule, who also oversees the Ministry of Education, said
the state government was putting a searchlight on the standard of education in
the private schools, saying it will no longer be business as usual for such
schools that undermine best practices.
