The Lagos
State Government has announced staggered resumption for schools and guidelines
for the Y2021/2022 academic session for public and private schools across the
State.
This was contained in a release issued on Monday by the State
Ministry of Education.
The state’s Education Commissioner, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo,
stated that all schools are expected to resume on Monday, September 13, 2021,
while students of Model Colleges and Upgraded Schools will be required to
resume in batches from Sunday, September 19, 2021.
“Boarding students in Model Colleges and Upgraded Schools, as
well as SS2 students seeking placement into SS3 class are expected to resume on
Sunday 19th September 2021. The revision for the classes will run from 20th to
26th September while promotion examination to SS3 class will start from 27th
September to 8th October 2021,” she said.
Adefisayo
further noted that “the newly admitted JS1 students into Model Colleges and
Upgraded Schools are to resume on Saturday, 2nd October, 2021 for a one-week
orientation programme to intimate them on secondary school structure and
modalities.
“Other
returning students in JS2, JS3, SS1 and the newly transited SS2 in the various
Model Colleges and Upgraded Schools are to resume on Saturday, 9th October
2021, while classes for the students will commence on Monday, 11th October,
2021.”
She
also noted that the adoption of staggered resumption for Model Colleges and
Upgraded Schools was due to the presence of Y2020/2021 SS3 students currently
writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination scheduled to end
on the 6th of October, 2021, adding that another reason is that the schools
cannot accommodate seven sets at once in the boarding system.
