What is LESEC?
Leadership Skills Enhancement Course (LESEC) is a life skills development Course that builds the leadership competence of Secondary School Prefects. The Course deals with the theoretical and practical challenges prefects face in school and how they can handle them.

A Training Manual of LESEC has been published, duly assessed by the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), and approved by the Federal Ministry of Education, for use in the training of prefects in Nigeria.
