JSS 3 Exam Fees: Private Schools Parents Besiege Lagos Exam Board For Refund by Mrakeli: 4:32pm On Mar 29, 2019
Parents and guardians of private secondary schools in Lagos State have besieged the Lagos State Examination board asking for a refund of the money paid in registering their wards for Junior Secondary School 3 (JSS 3) examination in the state.

The Lagos State Government had on Wednesday told parents not to pay any money for the JSS 3 examination as the government had already paid for the examination.

However, the government has clarified that the free payment was for public schools and not private schools in the state.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mrs. Adebunmi Adekanye clarified that the payment of examination fees by the present administration was only for JSS 3 State Public Secondary Schools students who would sit for the 2019 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

She stressed that the clarification became necessary to educate parents and guardians of children and wards in Private Secondary Schools who had been visiting the Lagos State Examinations Board to seek a refund of fees already paid.

“Such parents had the erroneous impression that the State Government payments covered all students across the Lagos,” she said.

She emphasised that despite the government’s commitment to ensuring all students got quality education in the State, the onus to pay examination fees for students in private schools rested on their parents.

Adekanye reiterated that the payment of BECE fees by the government was limited to public school students in the State.

However, the Permanent Secretary gave assurance that the government would prevent extortion of parents of students in Private Schools by the operators or public officials, noting that the cost of the examination was the same for students in both public and private schools without discrimination.

The Permanent Secretary also urged Public School students and parents to report any official of government who sought payment of any sum of money for whatever reason to the Tutors-General in their Education Districts or her office at the Ministry of Education, Alausa for prompt action.

grin Parents without chills. Never in the history of Nigeria has any government paid the examination fees of private school students. Moreover, refund after payment? Not in Nigeria public offices. Not when one pot bellied oga has already used part of the money to jolloficate himself and his concubinee.

Meanwhile, see the moment Anto Accused organizers of the Big brother Naija show of being Manipulative, partial and favouring of some persons over others, also listen to K. Brule speech that got everyone talking and dumbfounded.

Free education is not a simple matter.

Budget for education in Nigeria is less than N1 trillion.

Lagos better face reality. They cannot sustain this.

They should ask the parents to produce tax clearance and watch how they'll run away.

Junior WAEC helps schools sort out students into whether they would be 'science' arts' or commerce' students in Senior secondary school

Indirectly it determines which course one would read in university or polytechnic eventually.

I think the fees paid by government only applies to Lagos state public schools. Do private school parents actually expect the government to cover the fees of their wards? That'll be billions if not trillions. Pay for your children's exam of withdraw them to public schools

Unless the owner of Lagos OKs it, Free Education can never happen.

That's the disadvantage of a state being owned by an individual.
