Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education in Lagos, Jamiu Alli-Balogun, has said that the state government’s free education policy is still in operation from primary school to senior secondary school.
Alli-Balogun issued the statement on Sunday in Lagos to clarify the misconception by some parents and guardians on the payment of N8,100 tax by pupils.
According to the commissioner, the issue of students in the on-going resumption of the 2023/2024 academic session has generated criticism on the state education governance. “The LASG free education policy is still in operation from kindergarten to Senior Secondary School III, while tax is the duty of parents to pay.
The commissioner further stated that parents who had paid their tax needed not to pay another, but should provide their tax certificates for authentication and verification.
