The Lagos State government is enhancing the quality of private education through targeted training initiatives.
The Lagos State Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA), in collaboration with Fidelity Bank Plc, recently trained 400 proprietors and school leaders from unapproved private schools. This one-day workshop focused on regulatory requirements and the school approval process, aiming to elevate educational standards in the region.
Training Workshop Empowers Private School Leaders
The OEQA organized the Approval Intervention Workshop at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Ikeja. This initiative provided essential insights into the standards and requirements necessary for school approval. By promoting compliance, the workshop aims to ensure that schools deliver safe and high-quality education.
Dr. Sulaimon Ogunmuyiwa, the Director-General of OEQA, emphasized the importance of regulatory compliance. He encouraged school proprietors to view these requirements as opportunities for institutional growth rather than burdens. The workshop also highlighted key components of quality education, including child safeguarding, effective governance, and qualified personnel.
