The present administration is keen to ensure our children are safe at all times! As such, it is pertinent to sanitise the education sector. A secure and safe learning environment potentially allows students and staff to focus on the business of learning. Safe School Lagos (SSLAG) allows parents and other stakeholders to play active roles in keeping our children safe.
In addition to fostering a safety-first culture, SSLAG works tirelessly to implement measures that protect children from physical, emotional, and environmental harm.
SSLAG also recognises the importance of equipping children with knowledge about personal safety and preparedness.
