The rollout of the standardized testing started with a workshop on the principles of test construction for Lagos state teachers and this was widely applauded especially by participants majority of whom have not been exposed to test blueprint for test construction.

 The training not only equipped the teachers with specialized skills, but also benefitted the whole education system especially in terms of increased capacity building for the State.
