Lagos Schools Where Students Sit On The Floor & Under Trees by empexy(m): 2:15pm On Jun 14, 2013 |
Many pupils of Saviour’s Primary School, Igbeleyi-Alakuko, a suburb of Lagos, were on Thursday seen seated on the floor as their teachers taught them during school hours. http://telegraphng.com/2013/06/lagos-school-where-students-sit-on-the-floor/ 2 Likes

Lagos school where students study under trees In case the Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola or his aides, are reading this piece, their attention is urgently needed at Community Secondary School, Bayeku in Ikorodu area of the State. Reason? The school is an academic embarrassment. The Governor has repeatedly promised qualitative education to Lagosians with ‘’Adopt a School Project’’ initiative where private organisations and individuals are encouraged to give public schools a facelift. Since the inception of the initiative, many schools have benefitted immensely. Examples are Community Senior Secondary School, Tafawa Balewa Crescent; Sari Secondary School, Sari Iganmu; Dolphin Senior High School, Lagos Island and Senior Secondary School, Keffi Ikoyi which can now compete favourably with their private counterparts in terms of basic amenities like functional laboratories and information technology, modern classrooms and toilet facilities, among others. During Vanguard Metro’s visit to Dolphin Senior High School Lagos Island and Sari Secondary School, Sari-Iganmu, students and teachers were seen carrying out the day’s activities without stress as academic activities took place under a conducive environment; also, there was regular water and power supply in these schools. But the reverse is the case at Community Secondary school, Bayeku in Ikorodu. The school is bogged down by challenges ranging from dilapidated school buildings, inadequate classrooms, non-functional library, laboratories, lavatories to late attendance of pupils to school. Also, some structures in the school are so badly damaged that the urgent intervention of government is required to avoid further damages to the school. The school which was founded on September 5, 1983 is dilapidated and no longer conducive for learning. With the recent 2013 weather forecast, the threat of rains has become a serious concern to students, parents and teachers, especially as learning and other activities usually come to a halt each time it rains. Makeshift structures Teachers and students still cannot forget the downpour of Sunday July 10, 2011 which caused the collapse of the perimeter fencing of the school, exposing them to the menace of street urchins. The school has only two buildings with leaking roofs. The buildings are complemented by some makeshift structures with few chairs and tables which cannot serve the number of students in the school. Due to shortage of classrooms, all JSS 1 and 3 students are forced to receive lectures under a tree, except during examinations when they have to swap with JSS 2 students who are entitled to some of the classrooms. The rains have made learning very difficult for the students. Some students who spoke to VM said the last time it rained, both the students sitting under the trees and classrooms were drenched, leading to the suspension of academic activities for the day. ‘’In fact, some of us were moved from one ‘classroom’ to another which disrupted learning. The teachers were helpless as the situation forced them to stop teaching. Temporary respite came when some concerned citizens donated some building materials for construction of more classrooms but the effort was jeopardised due to inadequate fund. As at the time of filing this report, the perimeter fencing of the school is yet to be reconstructed. Some neighbours who spoke with VM complained that some students now indulge in nefarious activities in and around the school. ‘’Their hideouts are uncompleted buildings and they use dangerous weapons freely,’’ said Mr and Mrs Segun Ayilara. When VM spoke with some of the students, they said they were already used to the situation as the school is the only high school in the community. Some of them also complained of sharp practices on the part of teachers which they said has added to the existing problems. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/lagos-school-where-students-study-under-trees/

This is why Lagos is witnessing an even bigger population explosion. Fashola needs to reverse that decision, and make it free for the indigent's. |
Re: Lagos Schools Where Students Sit On The Floor & Under Trees by Akanbiedu(m): 4:20pm On Jun 14, 2013 |
baby_123: Lagos should implement a policy that allows school fees difference between Lagos indigenes, Lagos residents and foreign students. Lagos should not be suffering for non-performannce elsewhere. |

baby_123: We must then assume that Tinubu's paper, The Nation and/or Senator Gbenga Ashafa are LYING going by this story: Lawmaker’s scholarship lifts 75 pupils Could it be that Alhaji Gbenga Bareehu Ashafa aka King of Boys told the small girl to LIE so as to make his scholarship scheme more news worthy since some people are insisting that education is free in Lagos public schools This is why Lagos is witnessing an even bigger population explosion. Fashola needs to reverse that decision, and make it free for the indigent's. I guess Akwa Ibom where Akpabio is making education free and COMPULSORY with textbooks, other materials and even money as stipends to discourage truancy, for all children whether they are INDIGENES of the state or not must be witnessing a massive influx of non-indigenes who are indigent and so cannot afford to pay school fees in their own state.

Akanbi_edu: What we can see in the pic is not acceptable. The non-indigenes pay taxes, tenement rates, land charges etc. which the government happily pockets - N23 bn as at June last year and still rising. http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2012/06/18/our-igr-now-n23b-monthly-fashola/ The non-indigenes contribute much more to the economy of Lagos than the indigenes. They help keep Lagos's economy healthy. TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS EXPECTED. 9 Likes |

They are states council for rehabilitation of public schools, and i can tell u this: There is no school in Lagos state that has not been touched. I put it to u that u knw that there shld be one or two rehabilitation or new construction going on in that school. But with ur clear option to be biases, i knw u won't mention or say that. As remote and worse as ajegunle, ijora badia, omu isheri, mushin and oshodi are, they are well rehabilitated and new one constructed wen needed.

People who have (or can take) similar pictures of the sad state of infrastructure (public primary & secondary schools, feeder roads, primary health centres, refuse dumps etc) in EXCELLENT Fashola's Lagos should please post in new threads. Hopefully Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN will remember these areas along with all those LGA and LCDA (s)elected PUBLIC servants who have been sleeping on duty while collecting billions of OUR money monthly. If we are lucky he might start applying the same zeal he has shown (in 14 years with his oga-on-the-top) for Ikoyi, VI, Lekki and pockets of Surulere & Ikeja. 1 Like |
