The Lagos State government has ordered both private and public schools in the state to resume academic activities on Monday November 2, 2020.
It further advised schools with boarding facilities to reopen them on
on Sunday, November 1, 2020.
This was disclosed on Thursday by the Head of Public Affairs, Ministry of Education, Kayode Abayomi, in a statement.
In the statement, the Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, lamented: “This has been an unprecedented year with the recent happenings that have regrettably led to frequent closure of schools with attendant learning disruptions faced by all children.
“We pray and hope that there will be no more disruptions in the academic calendar. However, the State Government will always regard the safety of pupils-students, parents, and all staff as a matter of priority.
“We recommend that when schools resume on Monday, teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term.”
The commissioner, therefore, advised pupils-students to take their studies more seriously to recover the lost period and thereby excel.
