No fewer than 30 teachers, recruited after rigorous screening, will serve as facilitators.
Adeboye said that the programme was aimed to enhance students’ preparations for the 2025 WASSCE) and NECO for improved performance.
“It is fantastic that Lagos State Government pays for students’ WASSCE. Beyond that, the ministry has put this measure in place to boost preparations for a laudable outcome,” ha said.
He called on students to make the best use of the programme which, he said, offerred lessons in English Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Economics, Government, History, Literature-in-English and Yoruba.
“The Eko Learner Support for WAEC and NECO candidates is one of the many initiatives from the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education to support the performance of Lagos State candidates in these important public examinations.
“Now that the government has made these resources available and accessible to all candidates, it is entirely up to them.
“However, I encourage the prospective candidates to make good use of these resources.
“The truth is that without good grades in these examinations, that barrier will be there, which prevents them entry into post secondary schools,” he said.
Adeboye said that the lessons had been programmed for users to purse, scroll back and interrogate for clarifications and more understanding.
According to him, students will also be able to ask questions and obtain responses.
The consultant said that the lessons would be on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), adding that its pilot project would run for 26 weeks.
