  "summary": "The Lagos State Government has mandated all public and private schools to make valid Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) registration a mandatory requirement for admitting and enrolling students from the 2026/2027 academic session. The directive, announced by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Office of Education Quality Assurance, Adepeju Adeyemi, will take effect on September 14, 2026, and requires schools to collect and document the valid LASRRA registration numbers of learners during the admission and enrolment process. This move aims to create a comprehensive and verifiable database of learners across Lagos State, enhancing school record-keeping, learner identification, and government agencies' capacity for evidence-based decision-making.",
