The Lagos State Government has launched the Eko Learners’ Support programme to help students preparing for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) exams achieve academic excellence.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony yesterday at the Education Resource Centre in Lagos, the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Jamiu Alli-Balogun, described the initiative as a comprehensive solution designed to boost students’ performance, reports The Nation.
The programme features 320 lessons across 10 subjects, including English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Government, History, Literature-in-English, and Yoruba, delivered by proficient teachers who underwent rigorous screening.
“These lessons will be broadcast on Lagos Television and various social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter), making them easily accessible,”
Each 30-minute lesson will air over 26 weeks and will be archived permanently on social media platforms for students to revisit at any time.
The commissioner emphasised that the lessons align with the Lagos State-approved Scheme of Work and the WAEC and NECO syllabuses, ensuring students can follow the curriculum systematically.
In addition to providing a private learning experience, the initiative encourages interaction between students, teachers, and peers.
“The idea is to create a collaborative forum where learners and candidates energize one another to improve performance,” Alli-Balogun said.
He urged students to maximize the opportunity, saying: “Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance will be the keys to unlocking your dreams.”
