I found these design pictures of what Ambode's new look for Public schools in Lagos would look like.

What do you think of it?

This is really a beautiful concept.

Ambode awards contracts for renovation of 174 classrooms, 8 new blocks

…lays foundation of new model school in Ojo

Lagos State Governor Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday said his administration has awarded contract for the construction of eight new blocks of classrooms as well as the renovation of 174 existing blocks of classrooms and the construction of perimeter fence in various schools to enhance security.

The Governor, who spoke at the Foundation Laying ceremony of the New Model School in Awori College, Ojo, said the government has also commenced the supply of over 40,000 students’ furnitures on a quarterly basis to clear the identified shortfall of 160,000.

Governor Ambode, who was represented at the ceremony by his Deputy, Dr. Mrs. Oluranti Adebule expressed optimism that the sustained efforts of his administration to improve on the quality of teaching and learning environment would positively impact on the performance of students.

He noted that performance of students in the last West African Examination Council (WAEC) conducted examination was most assuring and an indication that the State was moving in the right direction.

The Governor said, “Today we are introducing a new model of block of classrooms in our public secondary schools. This edifice, apart from aiding teaching and learning, will compare favourably with high school structures in leading countries of the world.

“Apart from the aesthetics value, the new structure is capable of enhancing security of students, staff and schools materials in the face of the recent security breaches in our schools. It would comprise 36 classrooms, library, staff rooms, multipurpose hall, laboratories, principal/Vice Principal’s offices and modern toilet facilities for both junior and senior schools.”

He assured students in the State that his administration was committed to building a future of great opportunities, possibilities and prosperity through the provision of qualitative education that is consistent with the demands of the 21stcentury.

He enjoined the students to embrace the opportunities being provided by showing serious commitment to their studies and shun all negative values that could hinder their dreams.

“Let me assure all parents that we will continue to do our very best to ensure that our schools are safe from intruders. We have put in place measures to secure our pupils, students, teaching and non teaching staff. Our standards are high and we will continue to make them better,” the Governor said.

Earlier, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, said that the words and actions of Governor Ambode about education has spoken loud and in unequivocal terms about his passion to ensure the provision of high quality education that is accessible to all learners through effective and efficient management of resources for the attainment of self reliance and socio- economic development.

Also, Chairman, Lagos State House of Assembly Committee on Education, Hon. Lanre Ogunyemi, urged residents to appreciate the government’s prompt response to anything that has to do with education and future development of youths in the State, adding that the priority being accorded education in the state, particularly by the Ambode-led administration cannot but be applauded.

He said though other states of the federation find it difficult to pay teachers’ salary, the reverse was the case in Lagos as Governor Ambode pays salaries of staff, teachers inclusive on the 22nd of every month.

“This present administration recently employed more that 1,300 teachers and is about employing another 1,000. All these and other achievements were made possible due to good managers and able lieutenants at the helm of affairs as far as education is concerned,” Ogunyemi said.

1. I can see a football field and track field around it

2. A basketball court

3. A perimeter fencing (This is because of the high spate of kidnapped students in Lagos schools of late)

4. A wide car park

5. The school block

6. Green landscape for beautification

7. [s]The 4 blue rectangular spots on the design looks to me like a swimming pool? Or what?[/s] Lawn tennis courts

I really love this. Lagos public schools should be given a face lift and this is a step in the right direction.

Eko o ni baje ooo.

Nice one.

Good

but where will they get the "size" of land to accommodate this everywhere in the state

hahahah

IrradiatoR:

Lol. They are the government. They could compensate some people if they intend to site it in a place where there are other occupants.

Going forward when building a new school, the location and size would be considered in other to accommodate what's in the building plan.

Though I'll love to see such school in a place like Alimosho, Mushin etc.

Paper tigers

Oh Lord they have started again where is the $ 90 million, billions of naira Fashola got from the World Bank to build the schools? We never forget!

Taking Aregbe's model to another level..

Lagos will need 2000 of those

Okay.

If Fashola built schools, does that mean that successive government after his shouldn't build theirs or come up with their own model?

Because I don't understand the intent of your post sir.

We can see all the schools Fashola built, but loan or no loan, we can not see a single thing your own governors did with your money.

But it's nice that Lagos state's progress is your headache sha.

It's their usual hatred, bigotry, bad bele and insecurities.

Remember LASG runs a free public school system. Can this model be sustained, because it looks really expensive to me! and to have 2000 of those, hmmm

deomelo:

Lol. And the irony of it all is that I can say for my area in Lagos, the two public schools there are dominated by my Igbo brothers.

If this kind of structure is erected in such area, is it not his people that'll be of benefit?

Hatred, bad bele and shortsightedness wont let them reason beyond their nose.

How do you want to achieve this with the schools in Lagos state? U want to start breaking down houses around the schools?

I think this model would only be for new schools that would be built and would only be sited in areas with a large space that can accommodate what they intend to build.

Houses might be demolished but there'll be compensation as well.

I like this model, Osun model is more beautiful but with the addition of sport premises, this model is bae.

Well Done Ambode

God Bless Lagos State

God Bless Oodua land

God Bless Nigeria

i hope other south west governors follow suit.

If Aregbe can do it with little resources at his disposal, now Ambode (though doing his in affluence) other south west governors have no excuse

Oduduwa a gbe wa o

Why are we so easily swindled?
What is the essence of the state government building model schools?
Does that exempt it from the duty of establishing standards and EMPLOYING Monitors to ensure that they are complied with by each school with fines for non-compliance?
Moreover should we not ask how this exclusive and elitist gesture will contribute to making sure that all children are in school?
Or we don't think that is necessary?
Will it not be foolish for a parent of four children to send one to an expensive model school while the rest are sitting at home or going to the farm with him?

That is why this method of doing things is NOT progressive.
Rather it is a clear case of Animal Farm- all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.
