As part of continual efforts to improve the quality of teaching and learning outcomes in public and private schools, the Lagos State Government has released the year 2020-2023 ‘Approved Booklist’ for Public and Private Schools across the State.
Disclosing this today in an official statement, Honourable Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo revealed that books play a very significant role in the acquisition of quality education, as they are indispensable tools to both the teacher and the student, thereby concerted efforts were made by the ministry to ensure the release of a unified booklist for all classes.
Mrs. Adefisayo added that with the proliferation of books in the education sector, there is a need to scrutinize and select value-adding textbooks that would be circulated in schools across the state, thereby eliminating those that are substandard in content and unsuitable for Student’s consumption.

A woman, Bilikis Aina Erinle, has accused her ex-husband, Adesina Lateef Adeola, of coming with miscreants to take their kids from her custody while she was taking them to school last Tuesday.
Erinle also said that her car and mobile phone were taken away from her during the assaults allegedly perpetrated by Ademola and his heavily armed thugs.
Sani said there is confusion over how government should tackle the second wave of COVID-19.
The former lawmaker, in a tweet, said state governments should pay more attention in ensuring adherence to COVID-19 measures and not the Federal Government.
He tweeted: “Reopening schools and other #COVID19 regulatory measures should be a matter for the states and not the FG; the 36 states, including FCT have different infection rates. There is evident confusion on how to tackle the second wave.”
The federal government fixed the date, even as it continues to deal with the second wave of COVID-19.
The resumption has caused fear among some Nigerians.

All is now set for schools to resume for educational activities today for first and second term academic calendar across the country.
The Federal Government, through the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 Control, announced in December that schools should not reopen for the second term, following the second wave of Coronavirus.
But, states last week forced the Federal Government to agree to reopening the schools despite lack of the neccesary protocols in place like hand washing platforms, sanitisers and social distancing in most schools.
As the schools resume today, our correspondents sent in reports on plans for the reopening in some states.
