The Lagos State Government has announced the re-opening of schools for all classes in public and private schools across the state from Monday, November 2, 2020.
The commissioner for education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, disclosed this in a statement released on Thursday.
She however said boarders in public schools will resume on Sunday, November 1.
The schools, it would be recalled, were ordered shut last week following the violence that erupted during #EndSARS protests across the state.
The commissioner noted that the year 2020 had been an unprecedented year with the recent happenings that regrettably led to frequent closure of schools with attendant learning disruptions.
“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,” Adefisayo said and urged students to take their studies seriously so as to recover the lost period and excel in their academics.
