In accordance with the decision of state governors in South-West geopolitical zone to reopen schools, primary and secondary schools in Lagos State are set to reopen on August 3.

However, only learners in primary six, junior secondary school 3, and senior secondary school 3 will resume on that date.

This, it was gathered, followed a meeting held on Thursday in Ikeja with some stakeholders in the sector by officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Education.

During the meeting, Department of Quality Assurance in the ministry mandated all schools, public and private to fill an online assessment form, stating their preparedness to meet conditions stipulated for school reopening by Federal Ministry of Education.

Each school will later be issued clearance for it to reopen.

Speaking on the development,  Lagos State President of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools, NAPPS, Mr Olawale Amusa, said his association had also set up a Quality Assurance Committee to go round schools and assess readiness of members.

He expressed optimism that most of his members would meet the requirements for reopening schools.

Also, despite the discordant tunes that have greeted the conduct of this year’s WASSCE, South-West states are working on the possibility of partaking in the exam come September.

Decision by the states to partake in the exam is hinged on the need to allow final year secondary school students to be part of this year’s admission into tertiary Institutions.
