Lagos State To Add Scrabble To Schools’ Curriculum

Technical Director of the Lagos State Scrabble Association, on Friday said plans were underway to add scrabble to schools’ curriculum in the state. Odukomaiya stated that the association had been

working closely with the State Ministry of Education to ensure its implementation. “We have introduced scrabble as a game in all schools in Lagos state. We are now adding scrabble to the schools’ curriculum in the state. “We have coaches who go into the schools to train the students every day. Scrabble is all about English Language and introducing it will increase the vocabulary of the students. “It will also make them much more aware of English words and help them in their final result in English language in WAEC examinations and others. “It is also going to open up the students to the advantage of playing scrabble, such as getting scholarships,’’ he said.
