The Lagos State Government has approved the re-opening of schools for all classes in public and private schools across the State beginning from Monday, 2nd of November, 2020, while boarding house students in public schools are to resume on Sunday, November 1.
Confiance News learnt from the official Facebook page of the Lagos State government on Thursday.
Disclosing this on Thursday, the Honourable Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo said that 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,” she stated.
“We recommend that when schools resume on Monday, teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term,” Adefisayo added.
The Commissioner, therefore, advised pupils/students to take their studies more seriously in a bid to recover the lost period and thereby excel.
Confiance News recalls that schools in the state was inadvertently shutdown in March this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently in October due to the #EndSARS protest that was hijacked by hoodlums who went on rampage in the state.
