Lagos State Student Benefit Scheme by Matrixlord2021: 1:37pm On Sep 30, 2021
The Lagos state student unemployment benefit scheme should be enacted into law
The scheme is to be created to give unemployed students ie from primary to tetiary levels of education,a monthly allowance without prejudice or class.
This monthly allowance ranks from the primary to the secondary and tertiary leveels of education in the state .
For the primary ,eligible beneficiaries should be between the ages of 6-12 years old.
The monthly allowance would be N20,000 a month and would cover the needs of the student during school periods and off school periods.
Whatever that student needs which cannot be provided by the parents would be provided by the scheme.
For the secondary ,eligible beneficiaries either in junior or senior year are entitled to the sum of 100,000per term based on the classes they are in.
This would ameliorate the sufferings of students and cover any cost whatsoever they incurred in the process of their learning!
Eg SS1 student gets 100k for the whole Academic session of that class period.
20 percent of the fund is released to the student while 80 percent is released to the parent or guardian to purchase whatsoever the student needs covering the whole term of SS1 .
This means for each term the student gets 100k .
The whole three terms of that class amounts to 300k
While that of SS2 student gets 200k amount to 600k for the whole three terms of that class.
SS3 students gets 250 k amounting to 750 for the whole three terms.
This,it covers the secondary class.
It should be noted that the fund covers anything the student wants to do,be it purchasing textbooks,funding a school project or assignment and some for his or her personal use.
Any student is entitled to such funds but any student facing financial challenges or is handicapped is entitled to Additional N100,000 in any of the categories of class.
It should be noted that with the various modern challenges faced by the 21century student,areas that covers their funds were also highlighted to include;
1)Cost of textbooks and projects
2)cost of transportation to school
3)cost of feeding
4)cost of getting school materials
5)cost of registering,sitting and applying for external exams at the end of the whole class level of the year
6)cost of medical care or emergency in case of unforseen circumstances
7)cost of admission,registration or acceptance into a new school

The tertiary levels is such that an undergraduate is entitled to a sum of 500,000naira for the first level
This sum covers a part of the major challenges faced by the student at any given time.

The sum increases to 750,000naira in the second year
And gets to 1000,000 in the third year
It finally gets to N2M in the final year which is able to help the student all rounder .

For the tertiary level,elligible students are those who are very committed academically and have a sound academic performance which is promising
The student must also be able to showcase results of his academic prowess and must be referred to in such areas of research in his or her preferred institution.
The student must also be able to account for funds released for the specific purpose and the student must also be one faced with financial challenges

There is no discrepancy or favouritsm in the application or registration of such scheme.
However,such student would be given the funds anytime there is a crucial need in order to Avert a bastardization or abuse of the scheme .

Any student found guilty of the scheme or is into fraudulent activities on campus or is believed to have diverted such funds other than for his academic progression into frivolous activities or crime would be punished and made to face the full wrath of the law.
A scheme monitoring team would be set up by each institution to monitor the use of the funds by the student.
Any student that shows promising and serious academic excellence and commitment would be rewarded handsomely and given scholarship by the Lagos state government.

It is noted that this scheme would change the lives of the students.it would give hope to the hopeless .
This scheme if passed into law and run by both public and private partnership would change the nature of students and make them more entailed to learning.
It would change the approach to education which is almost becoming the last legacy due to the poor standard it is now in .
