She said today’s education system must be fashioned out to give students tools that would make them effective in whatever they chose to do.
Highlighting the Lagos State commitment to sound education, Mrs. Jaji said that the government kick started the revolution of getting the expected learning outcomes from the students by making education and technology the third and fundamental pillar of the T.H.E.M.E.S development agenda to deliver a greater Lagos.
She said: “Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has also doubled the budgetary allocation on education to boost the state’s human capital and rehabilitate public schools statewide.”
