Point News247 reports that the
Lagos State government has lamented the incessant increase in out-of-school children in the state.
The state government has, therefore, designed a programme to return the dropout children to school and most especially those affected by the current economic situation in the country.
In this progression, the Lagos State government has implored communities in the state to enlist children who have stopped schooling and were formally in Primaries 1-5.
The state government has promised to give the identified pupils school uniforms school, sandals, books, bags, etc while some of their parents as well will be empowered financially.
This exercise which has commenced will end in April.
Residents have been advised to assist their community children to be out of the street, as the state government has promised to re-enroll the children in the nearest school to their residence.
Here are the details of the format for submission;
Name of Child:
Class:
Address :
Phone no of Parent:
Proposed School:
Details are to be submitted o your nearest LGEA OR LCDA to enlist them or call Fariogun Tayo on 0802 312 1737
This development comes in the wake of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s “first-hand experience of what many vulnerable children might be going through in our society.”
