Following the directive of the Government to close schools in an attempt to curtail the rapid spread of COVID-19, Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board has provided immediate educational support and programmes to minimize the consequent disruption to facilitate continuous learning especially for the vulnerable within the state. The Board has introduced a radio broadcast of academic contents aimed at providing a holistic support to public primary school pupils during this critical period.
The programme is designed to keep the pupils academically engaged in spite of school closure. The interactive radio instruction programme would be aired on two (2) local radio stations; namely EKO FM 89.7 and Radio Lagos 107.5fm.
The programme has been carefully designed to make learning fun and engaging for the pupils. The lessons for pupils in Primary 1 and 2 are “Kokoka and Labe Igi Orombo” which will be aired from Monday – Thursday at 9:30am – 11:55am on Radio Lagos – 107.5fm. Other programmes for pupils in Primary 3, 4, 5 and 6 include: ANIMAL GARDEN, LEARNING IS FUN, LET’S GO LEARNING AND AUNTY BOLA’S WORKSHOP which will be aired from Monday – Thursday between 10.30am to 1pm on Eko FM 89.7.
As government continues to make frantic effort to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, we hereby encourage parents and guardians to utilize these platforms to keep their wards productively engaged, monitor their health and keep them home and safe.
