The Lagos State Government has approved the reopening of schools for all classes in public and private schools on Monday, November 2.
Borders are, however, to resume on Sunday, November 1.
The state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, who disclosed this on Friday, noted that “it has been an unprecedented year with the recent happenings that have regrettably led to frequent closure of schools with attendant learning disruptions faced by all children.”

In a statement issued by the Head, Public Affairs, Ministry of Education, Kayode Abayomi, Adefisayo, said: “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.”
The Commissioner advised pupils/students to take their studies more seriously in a bid to recover the lost period and thereby excel.
