The Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) has paid a courtesy visit to the Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (MBSE) as part of efforts to advance collaboration on student data integration across schools in the state.
The visit forms part of ongoing discussions aimed at strengthening partnerships between public and private schools while ensuring proper documentation of students and teachers within the state’s residents’ database.
Under the proposed collaboration, LASRRA and the Ministry plan to streamline registration and verification processes, enabling accurate capture of students’ and teachers’ data for planning and administrative purposes.
Prior to the meeting, LASRRA also engaged with the Office of Education Quality Assurance Lagos (OEQA) to align on data standards, integrity, and the role of collaboration in enhancing accountability within the education sector.
Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mr. Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun, welcomed the initiative, stressing the importance of maintaining a comprehensive database of pupils and teachers to support effective planning and policy implementation.
He noted that improved data management would aid teacher recruitment, infrastructure development, and overall enhancement of learning outcomes across the state.
General Manager of LASRRA, Mrs. Bilikiss Adebiyi-Abiola, assured that the agency would provide high-quality data, while the Ministry would develop a backend system to support school records and data management.
Both parties agreed that a formal proposal would be developed by OEQA for approval, marking the next step toward implementing a unified school registration system in line with Lagos State’s digital transformation agenda.
