Students in terminal classes at Chrisland High School, Opebi, have resumed physical learning in preparation for their external examinations.
The resumption was approved by the Lagos State Ministry of Education. According to the ministry, students in terminal classes (JS3 and SS3) will sit their final-year examinations.
The ministry noted that the school was granted permission to begin physical learning ahead of their examinations due to commence soon.
This was disclosed by the Commissioner for Education, Folasade Adefisayo, on Monday March 27, 2023, while giving an update on the case of the deceased student of the school, Whitney Adeniran.
According to the commissioner, the school will remain closed until all necessary judicial processes superintended over by the State’s Ministry of Justice and other ongoing administrative inquests within the purview of the Office of Education Quality Assurance and other agencies are completed.
She also hinted that arrangements are ongoing for other categories of students to return to school.
The commissioner stated, “The temporary permission to allow the terminal classes comprising JSS3 and SS3 students access to the school was granted to enable them to participate in their terminal examinations.”
The ministry, with the support of the Lagos State Joint Task Force in charge of the implementation of the child protection policy and safeguarding, which is made up of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, such as the Ministry of Youth and Social Development, Office of Education Quality Assurance and others, will continue to engage with Whitney Adeniran’s Family.
