The Director-General, Office of Education Quality Assurance, Mrs Abiola Seriki-Ayeni, said the resumption date for the second term is January 4, 2021, adding that it will end on April 6 while that of the third term runs from May 4 through August 6.
Following the approval of the Academic Calendar for 2020/2021, The DG of Education also urged stakeholders to have a qualitative health and safety plan that will help protect students, teachers and workers as schools reopen in the state.
“It is not enough to reopen but to keep staying opened since some schools all over the world had to shut down after reopening due to a spike in the pandemic.
“All schools must make efforts to comply with these requirements, not just for the improvement of the overall school operations but for safe reopening for academic activities to support the Lagos State Government quest for a full return,” Seriki-Ayeni said.
The DG further advised schools to have flexible teaching and learning plans to accommodate both sick teachers and students.
In doing this, she suggested that schools should create available online platforms to avoid any COVID-19 infection in schools.
The state government also made face masks compulsory for teachers, students and visitors, and they must adhere to the social distancing protocols, regularly wash hands with soap under running water and maintain a high standard of personal hygiene in the school premises.
Also, public and private schools in the state are to register online with the OEQA and take the School Self-risk Assessment.
