Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde,
has announced the cancellation of Thursday and Friday mid-term break for public
primary and secondary schools in the state.
The Governor hinged this decision
on the fact that students of public schools in the state had stayed out of
their classrooms for several days as a result of recent industrial actions and
public holidays.
This announcement was contained
in a circular with reference number, Edu1070/Col.VI/27, dated June 11, 2018,
signed by the acting permanent secretary, state Ministry of Education, Science
and Technology, Mr Idowu Adeosun.
Adeosun pointed out that the
directive did not affect private schools in the state.
Teachers and heads of schools
were consequently to utilize the two days to make up for lost grounds in their
lesson plan for the third term of the ongoing 2018/2019 session.
“I am to inform you that in view
of the number of days the students of public primary and secondary schools have
stayed out of classrooms for the reasons of public holidays and strike actions,
the mid-term break for the third term of 2018/2019 academic session is hereby
cancelled,” the circular read in part.
The state
chapter of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) recently suspended a two-week
old strike while the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had also suspended a 24-hour
long strike on May 27, 2019.
