The Lagos State Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, through the Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA), has officially released the approved 2025/2026 Harmonised Academic Calendar for all public and private schools below tertiary level operating within  Lagos State.


This approval comes after an extensive and participatory process involving key stakeholders across the public and private education sectors, including school associations, proprietors, principals, education experts, and regulatory bodies.


The final version of the calendar was ratified at a stakeholders’ meeting and subsequently received the approval of the Honourable Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education (MB&SE), Mr. Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun.


Speaking on the approval the Coordinating Director, OEQA, Mr. Remi Abdul, listed the highlights of the 2025/2026 Academic Calendar as approved by the Honourable Commissioner, MB&SE, Mr. Jamiu Tolani Alli-Balogun as follows:


First Term: Monday 15th September, 2025 – Friday 19th December, 2025

He advised all affected schools to adhere strictly to the approved dates and guidelines, assuring that the Office of Education Quality Assurance will conduct regular monitoring and compliance checks to ensure smooth implementation across the State.
