pronouncement, directing students in exit classes in Nigeria to resume on
Tuesday August 4, 2020.
On Wednesday, the government ordered all the SS3 and Technical
Studies (TEC3) students in day and boarding schools to resume on Monday August
3, 2020.

She explained that the decision “is to allow for revision
classes and adequate preparation ahead of their forthcoming West African Senior
School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).”
Adefisayo cited the new commencement date the West African
Examination Council (WAEC) confirmed for the 2020 WASSCE.
The examination is scheduled to commence on the August 17,
2020.
The commissioner stressed that only SS3 and Technical Study
Three (TEC3) students are permitted to resume.
The official enjoined all schools to follow the required
public health guidelines and protocols for re-opening.
She noted that while students in SS3 and TEC 3 will sit for
their examinations, the government is considering the option of using first and
second term exams performance or continuous assessment to promote students in
other exit classes.
Adefisayo revealed that various meetings have been held with
the stakeholders in the education, health and safety sectors to ensure that
adequate precautionary measures were put in place before resumption.
“The Office of Education Quality Assurance will be going
round all the schools across the State to monitor the level of safety and
protocol compliance expected to be put in place by both private and public
schools”, she added.
