LASG Orders Re-opening of Schools from Nov. 2

The Lagos State Government has ordered the re-opening of schools for all classes in public and private schools across the State beginning from Monday, 2nd of November, 2020.

This was disclosed in a statement signed by Head, Public Affairs
Ministry of Education, Kayode Abayomi, on Thursday October 29, 2020.

According to the statement, Honourable Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, stated 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.” the statement reads.

“We recommend that when schools resume on Monday, teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term,” it adds.

The Commissioner therefore advised pupils/students to take their studies more seriously in a bid to recover the lost period and thereby excel.
