The 2018 Lagos State Primary six placement test into JSS 1 was held on Saturday, July 28, 2018, at various centers across the state. The test marks the end of the first six years of levels of education for the pupils. The test is conducted for pupils in private and public schools for admissions into public secondary schools in the state.

The Lagos state universal basic education board (SUBEB), according to NAN, said that a total of 181,000 pupils sat for the test. This is an increase over the 160,000 pupils who sat for the examination in 2017.

Subjects examined in the placement test are English language, Verbal Aptitude, General Paper, Mathematics, Quantitative Aptitude, Basic Science and Technology.

The executive chairman of the board, Dr. Ganiyu Sopeyin, said that “This is an annual event.” “What we are witnessing today is the placement for primary six pupils to gain admission into junior secondary schools in Lagos.” He noted that the number is an indication that “parents are now getting interested in enrolling their children in Lagos schools.” The reason for this is because of the upgrade of facilities in many secondary schools across the state, He added.

He promised that the result of the test would be ready in one week. He urged school’s head teachers and owners to visit the SUBEB office for the results.

The Education News Nigeria (ENN) team visited Igbo-owu secondary school junior and secondary school to witness the conduct of the examination and can report that the examination was peaceful and satisfactory. Some parents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity hope that the pupils would come out successful when the result is released.

We wish all the pupils the best in their quest for admission into the junior secondary school.
