1

Lagos State Government has approved the re-opening of all public and private schools across the State from Monday, 2nd of November, 2020.

It also stated that boarders in public schools are to resume on Sunday, November 1.

This comes four days after Lagos state government has announced that public and private schools in the state will remain closed till further notice.

Disclosing this on Thursday, October 29, Honourable Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo said;

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.

She stressed that; 

“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.”

Adefisayo added;

“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 in a bid to recover the lost period and thereby excel.
