The Ministry of Education has
provided an update on the reopening of schools in the country.
Ben Bem Goong, the Director of
Press, Federal Ministry of Education, in a statement on Friday said the
Nigerian government has given school owners in the country up to 29th July 2020
to meet the guidelines towards the reopening of schools in the country.
Goong also confirmed that the
Ministry of Education has met with its Health counterpart and Nigerian Centre
for Disease Control,(NCDC), the Education in Emergencies Working Group, and had
developed and circulated guidelines for the safe reopening of schools.
The statement said that schools
are to undertake self-assessment and send feedback to State Ministries of
Education, on July 29 2020, unfailingly.
“Thereafter, consultations with
relevant stakeholders will be held on 30th July 2020, to review the situation
and decide on a specific date for reopening of schools or otherwise,” it added.
“We have consulted widely with
stakeholders in the education sector, including Commissioners of Education in
all the states of the federation, the Association of Private School Owners of
Nigeria,(APSON), National Association of Proprietors of Private
Schools,(NAPPS), Provosts of Colleges of Education, Rectors of Polytechnics,
Vice-Chancellors of Universities, State Governors, and development partners on
the issue of safe reopening of schools.”
