Chrisland school viral video: Fresh trouble for 2022 WAEC candidates

School owners under the aegis of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, NAPPS, have said the closure of Chrisland School, Lagos over the recent viral video would jeopardise the interest of other learners, especially those registered for the senior school certificate examination (SSCE).
Some Chrisland students had gotten involved in an indecent act while representing their school at the World School Games held in Dubai in March and filmed the act. The matter had generated social media outrage and sparked conversations around parenting.

The state government had shut down the schools shortly after the news circulated.

The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) are scheduled to commence in few weeks.

The statement read in part; “While we are in support of the swift move by the Lagos state government to investigate the issue, we view with concern the recent announcement of the state government to shut down all branches of Chrisland Schools in the state over the said sex video.

“We feel shutting down all the branches of the school might deny other children their rights to learn more and for those in the terminal classes the right to continue their preparation for their final examinations.”
