LAGOS SCHOOLS TO RESUME AUGUST;
The good news is a confirmation of what was earlier stated by the state government on the intention to reopen schools in August.
However, only learners in primary six, junior secondary school 3, and senior secondary school 3 are to resume
This was gathered, from a meeting held on Thursday in Ikeja with some stakeholders in the sector by officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Education.
During the meeting, the Department of Quality Assurance in the ministry mandated all schools, whether public or private to fill an online assessment form, stating their preparedness to meet conditions stipulated for school reopening by the Federal Ministry of Education.
Each school will later be issued clearance for it to reopen.
Speaking on the development, the Lagos State President of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, NAPPS, Chief Olawale Amusa, said his association had also set up a Quality Assurance Committee to go round schools and assess the readiness of members. He expressed optimism that most of his members would meet the requirements for reopening schools.
It would he recalled that it was earlier stated also that the South-West states of the country are working on the possibility of partaking in the exam come September.despotebtje situation at the Federal Ministry
The decision by the states to partake in the exam is hinged on the need to allow final year secondary school students to be apart of this year’s admission into tertiary Institutions.
Recall that only on Thursday, the Minister of State, Education, Mr. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, said if the Federal Government could not meet up with WAEC’s timeline of conducting WASSCE in September, Nigerian candidates could take the exam in November/ December this year.
