The Lagos State Ministry of Education has approved school
calendar for 2020/2021 session.
Olaniran Emmanuel, Head of Public Affairs, Office of
Education Quality Assurance (OEQA) released the details in a statement at the
weekend.
Public and private schools below tertiary level will resume
First Term academic activities on Monday, 21st September, 2020 while the term
runs through Friday 18th December, 2020.
The Second Term starts on Monday 4th January, 2020 and runs through Friday 6th April, 2021 while students will resume for Third Term on Tuesday 4th May, 2021 and close on Friday 6th August, 2021.
Director-General, OEQA, Abiola Seriki-Ayeni, urged school
leaders to have a qualitative health and safety plan that will help protect
students, teachers and workers.
She said it is not enough to reopen but to keep staying
opened since some schools all over the world had to shut down after reopening
due to a spike in the pandemic.
“All schools must make efforts to comply with these
requirements, not just for the improvement of the overall school operations but
for safe reopening for academic activities to support the Lagos State
Government quest for a full return.”
The official advised schools to have a flexible teaching and
learning plan where students and teachers who feel sick can teach or learn from
home via available online platforms.
Seriki-Ayeni reminded schools that they must strive to avoid
COVID-19 infections.
Teachers, students and visitors are expected to wear face
mask at all time, observe physical distancing, wash hands at intervals and
maintain high standard of personal hygiene.
Lagos State government emphasized that schools must have an
isolation/holding bay to care for medical emergencies should students come up
with symptoms such as cough, headache, catarrh, difficulty in breathing,
sneezing and fever.
