The Lagos State Government has directed the re-opening of schools for all classes in public and private schools across the state from November 2.
Commissioner for Education, Folasade Adefisayo, disclosed this on Thursday.
Schools have been shut for over a week following the violence that greeted the #EndSARS protest.
According to the commissioner, boarders in public schools are to resume on November 1.
“This has been an unprecedented year with the recent happenings that have regrettably led to frequent closure of schools with attendant learning disruptions faced by all children.
“We pray and hope that there will be no more disruptions in the academic calendar.
“However, the State Government will always regard the safety of pupils/students, parents and all staff as a matter of priority,” Adefisayo said.
“We recommend that when schools resume on Monday, teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term,” she added.
