Lagos Govt Announces School Resumption Dates
The Lagos State Government has announced the resumption of classes for the academic year 2021/2022.
On September 13, public and private schools will reopen; model colleges and improved schools will reopen in batches beginning September 19.
Folasade Adefisayo, the Commissioner of Education, announced in a statement that SS2 students seeking placement into SS3 will continue on September 19.
From September 20 to 26, revision sessions will be held, and the SS3 promotion examination will be held from September 27 to October 8.
On October 2, newly admitted JS1 students at model colleges and upgrading schools will begin a one-week orientation session.
Other classes in the various institutions, such as JS 2, JS3, SS1, and the newly transited SS2, will start on October 9. The first day of classes will be October 11th.
The staggered resumption, according to Adefisayo, is due to the presence of 2020/2021 SS3 pupils who will be writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), which will end on October 6.
The commissioner recommended students to devote more time to their studies and to take their education more seriously. She wished them luck with their session.
