Commissioner for Education in Lagos State, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo has stated that the State government will on Monday, launch its ‘EkoExcel Pre-Service Professional Development and Technology Training Programme” for teachers and headteachers in public primary schools across the State.
She also said the closing and resumption schedule for pupils in the 2019/2020 academic calender had been adjusted.
The adjustment would see students go on an immediate break to resume on Monday, January 20th, 2020 instead of January 6th.
