The Government has directed schools across the State to reopen on Monday January 18 for the continuation of first term of the 2020/21 academic calendar. It has also announced its reinforcement of the already established capacities to ensure compliance with the Covid-19 safety protocols.
During a briefing on Saturday, on OSBC 104.5FM, the Special
Adviser to the Governor on Education, Hon. Jamiu Olawumi, said the government
was set to receive learners as preparations were in top gear to reopen basic
education facilities to pupils and students on Monday.
Olawunmi said aside the initial Covid-19 safety materials
that were initially given to schools at the beginning of the term,the State's
Ministry of Education had made provisions to augment the materials (where necessary)to
ensure the safety of students &teachers across the State.
According to him: "The challenge faced by the Govt in
enforcing compliance among the generality of the masses has proven easier in
specialized communities like schools, where instructions are to be obeyed. This
is unlike the disposition of people in marketplaces who have not been abiding
by the protocols.
"We have engaged our teachers on the need to enforce
responsibilities and ensure that parents too key into the Govt’s philosophy of
responsible parenting, not only to improve on their wards' academic
performance, but to also promote healthy living of their children and
wards.
"On the part of the Govt’s arrangements have been made
to augment the Covid-19 prevention materials that were earlier supplied to
schools. The supplies will be made to the necessary locations with effect from
Monday, immediately schools reopen".
