All 1009 Lagos Public Primary Schools are under the the EKOEXCEL programme

Lagos teachers will be given lesson guides written by local curriculum experts. The lesson guides provide teachers with step-by-step instructions on how to teach each lesson most effectively. Teachers will receive a lesson guide for every single lesson they teach. Teachers are expected to follow the lesson guides closely for every class. This is to make sure that pupils receive the maximum amount of instruction possible each day. These lesson guides are delivered to teachers each day on a special tablet that each teacher uses during their lessons.

There are two ways to enroll into Lagos State EKOEXCEL schools, enrollment into Pre primary and  primary 1 grades and registration into primaries 2 to 5.

Textbooks are only for pupils on the EKOEXCEL program

Tuition is free for all Lagos State (EKOEXCEL) schools, there are only one off registration fees for primaries 2 to 5 as follows: NGN 2,000 for transfer from a Lagos State  public primary school to another, NGN3,000 for transfer from a private school within Lagos State to a Public Primary School, NGN 5,000 for transfers from other states in Nigeria to EKOEXCEL Schools. For pupils transferring from schools outside Nigeria to EKOEXCEL schools, the one-off transfer fee is NGN10,000.

By registering the child in an EKOEXCEL school as well as providing uniforms and writing materials for the child

Lagos State Primary (EKOEXCEL) Schools are leveraging on technology to support teachers in planning and delivering of lessons in all Lagos State Primary schools.

EKOEXCEL was based on Governor Babajide Sanwolu’s focus as captured in “We believe that Lagos State Schools should be number one nationally and that our public schools must compete favourably with schools globally”
