The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, has
said parents are not under compulsion to send their children back to school,
despite the federal government’s decision to reopen learning institutions.
Pupils in Primary 6, JSS 3 and SSS 3 have been asked to
return to classes, so they can prepare to graduate.
But Nwajiuba, speaking on Channels Television on Wednesday
evening, told parents who are not comfortable with sending their wards back, to
keep them at home.
The Minister, however, allayed the fears of parents and
teachers, assuring that adequate measures have been put in place to ensure the
safety of everyone.
“We understand the limitations of Nigerians. Most people
cannot afford laptops and devices and we know that not all our children have
the same access.
“And if there are people who do have this access and who
feel confident that their children are ready for these exams, nobody is
compelling anybody to go to any school,” Nwajiuba said.
