Lagos govt announces new date for 2023 placement test

The Lagos State Government has announced July 22 as the new date for the 2023 Placement Test by Continuous Assessment Scores (CAS) in centres across the state.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Director of the Lagos State Ministry of Education Examinations Board, Adebayo Orunsolu, on Tuesday, July 18.

Orunsolu called on public and approved private primary schools in the state to take cognisance of the new date.

He also urged head teachers and school owners to get their pupils well-informed and prepared for participation in the 2023 placement test, saying no child should be left behind.

“We hereby solicit the support and cooperation of all concerned stakeholders for a hitch-free exercise, while wishing the candidates success as they sit for the examination,” he added.

The placement test earlier slated for July 15 was rescheduled to July 22 to allow some schools that did not meet up with the registration processes to do so.

The Lagos State Government also noted that this was part of efforts by the examination board to comply with the ‘leave no child behind’, policy of the state.
