Sanwo-Olu announces partial reopening of schools

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Friday announced the partial reopening of schools for students in transitional classes.

Sanwo-Olu said students in SSS 3 and Tech III can resume to classes on August 3.

“But for JSS 3, we’ll wait for another one or two weeks and we’ll see how we’ve taken the first set of Tech 3 and SSS 3 before they now subsequently would open,” Sanwo-Olu said.

For students in tertiary institutions, the governor said “they’ll continue to enjoy their online academic activities”, pending the decision taken on physical resumption.

But last week, the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 said schools can be reopened for graduating students in primary and secondary schools across the country.

The Federal Ministry of Education issued guidelines for the reopening and it required schools to adopt the use of distant learning centres and temporary shelters. It advocates disinfection and fumigation of facilities including hostel accommodation, with particular attention on those used as temporary isolation and treatment centres.

Critics have since faulted the government’s decision.
