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.”
