The importance of secondary education in the life of a child cannot be overlooked. Apart from the fact that it serves as the link between primary and tertiary education, it also serves as the opportunity for the child to get more knowledge, acquire more skills, and decide on a career path. Children are promoted to Secondary class after they have met up with the requirement in the primary class. This is aimed at improving the child, as evidently primary education is not sufficient for a child to gain all the skills needed for life. Hence our compilation of some 20 private secondary schools in Lagos State that are of good bet for your children.
