The Lagos and Osun states governments have approved the re – opening of all public and private schools from Monday , November 2 , 2020 .
However , boarding students in Lagos public schools were asked to resume on Sunday, November 1 .
Schools in the three states had been shut due to the violence that trailed the # EndSARS protests with the attendant loss of lives and property
.
According to the Lagos State Commissioner for Education , Mrs Folasade Adefisayo , 2020 has been an unprecedented year with recent happenings that led to frequent closure of schools with learning disruptions faced by 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 .
“ We recommend that when schools resume on Monday , teaching and learning should continue unhindered till the end of the term , ” she added .
