FG Presents Guidelines On Schools Reopening To National Assembly
Federal Ministry of Education has presented to the National Assembly a detailed proposal on its plan to reopen schools across the country.
The Minister of State for Education, Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba on Tuesday, June 23, presented proposed guidelines for the reopening of schools to the Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education.
Making the presentation in the meeting, the Minister disclosed that they suggested a way to move the education sector forward during the Coronavirus pandemic.
He said, ” We don’t want to make it known at this time so that some people will not take over proposed guidelines for school reopening.
“Even if the Senate has not called us, we would have come to you to discuss with you because we have already discussed with the House of Representatives.
“The documents were presented to you so that you can criticise and make inputs as a major stakeholder. “
Vice-Chairman of the Committee, Akon Eyakenyi, however, expressed fears of pupils in public schools having a distorted academic session as most of them do not have the opportunity to learn online during the pandemic like their mates in private schools.
