One year after, the Eko Learners’ Support Programme is recording notable gains in students’ academic performance across public secondary schools in the state.

The programme was launched as a strategic intervention to support candidates preparing for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the National Examination Council (NECO) examinations.

The Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr. Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun, said the initiative was designed to close learning gaps, improve examination readiness and give every Lagos learner a fair and equal chance to succeed. 

“This programme was conceived as an investment in the future of our children and the development of Lagos State. One year on, we are encouraged by the improvements we are seeing in students’ engagement, confidence and performance across schools.
 
The commissioner added that the Eko Learners’ Support Programme delivers hundreds of lessons across ten subjects, including five core subjects – Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
