As part of its efforts to provide quality education in the State, the Lagos State Government has set aside Saturday, 20th July, 2024 for the conduct of the Placement Test by Continuous Assessment Scores (CAS) for Primary six pupils in the state.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Director, Lagos State Examinations Board, Mr. Adebayo Orunsolu, informing the general public, parents and guardians that the test will hold on Saturday, 20th July, 2024 across the six Education Districts of the State.
He explained that three bodies: the Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (LASUBEB) and the Lagos State Examinations Board have agreed on the 20th of July, 2024 as the Final Date for the conduct of the Test for Primary Six Pupils transiting to Government Public Junior Secondary Schools (JSS1) in the State for the Year 2024/2025 Academic Session.
Orunsolu noted that children have the right to quality education, adding that providing them an opportunity to receive quality education is the only way to make them realise their future ambitions.
