Photos: Young School Children used as errand boys & girls by Teachers in Lagos

A source shared photos of young children sent to school by their parents to study, being reduced to running errands like fetching watch, passing through major roads with all the risks involved.

Below are more photos and what the source wrote:

"Despite Lagos State Government's plan to transform public schools into exemplary places of learning, the students of Immaculate Heart Comprehensive Junior High School are subjected to daily menial jobs whilst they should be busy in classes as early as 9am to 11am.

Some of the students said the MAN-NO-WAR in the school usually ask them to go and fetch water for toilet and other use. They also said their Vice Principal is aware.

A resident of Mende Maryland who works in a car wash confirmed that the students come to fetch water from their car wash, he said that the students (boys and girls) are usually sent out to go and look for water to fetch and they come in batches.

Ironically, Immaculate Heart Comprehensive Junior High School is a stone-throw away from headquarters of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB)..."

- Lagos state government should get a borehole for the school immediately and save the children, before we hear stories of accidents while students who should be in classrooms were fetching water.
