Announcing the resumption of schools on Thursday, the state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, 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 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.
“We recommend that when schools resume on Monday, teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term”, she said in a release obtained by ArmadaNews.
