The Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba has debunked the rumour going around that schools will reopen on June 8.
The Minister was speaking during the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 yesterday in Abuja, asking parents and guardians to disregard the rumour making the rounds.
He said, “June 8 school resumption date report is false,”
Nwajiuba further explained that the Federal Government’s model that will ensure all students do not return to school at the same time would be enforced.
The Minister in his statement said, “The plan entails adopting a two-shift system and allowing those who will write exams to return earlier than others.
“Use this period to upgrade skills and think of how to make their teachings impactful.
Those running the secondary schools should also think of what to do.
“We are also looking at having sanitization booths working with NASENI.
It is a forewarning to private and State governments to ensure that these things are put in place before schools can reopen.”
