The Lagos State Government, through the Lagos State Examinations Board, has approved the second phase of Year 2025 Entrance Examination (Screening Test) into the State’s 16 Model Colleges.
It also upgraded the Junior Secondary Schools in the state.
This is contained in a statement by the Director, Lagos State Examinations Board, Mr Orunsolu Adebayo made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Lagos.
Adebayo said the approval followed the avalanche of requests by parents of the students and was aimed at providing another opportunity for eligible primary six pupils.
He said the examination is a criterion for admission into the state’s 16 Model Colleges adding that the state also upgraded its junior secondary schools.
“We had most of the parents, guardians and schools come to the Lagos State Examinations Board asking if there was a way they could still write the examination.
“This is the major reason for the second phase,” he said.
Adebayo said that the Vetland Junior Grammar School, Ifako-Ijaiye is not part of the school for the examination.
He said that the registration for the examination which began May 9 would be concluded on August 15.
“The screening test has been scheduled to be held on Aug. 23 at designated Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres across the state, in line with the state’s ongoing commitment to improving digital literacy and innovation in assessment processes.
“All eligible candidates are enjoined to visit the Board’s official portal via the link: https://examsboard.lagosstate.gov.ng and complete necessary registration for the examination.
“Upon successful registration, candidates are to log in using their USERNAME and PASSWORD to print their examination slips, which contain their details,” he said.
The director reiterated that the screening test remains the sole criterion for placement into any of the state’s model colleges and upgraded junior secondary schools and strictly for primary six pupils.
He, therefore, solicited the cooperation and understanding of parents, guardians, school administrators and stakeholders, to ensure a hitch free conduct of the second phase examination exercise.
