Enugu schools reopen 28-Sep with State Government publishing a 2-year revised post-Covid19 school calendar to manage system disruption.

Schools in Enugu State resume on Monday 28 September 2020 and will be guided by a third term calendar published today.

There will be nine weeks of instructions and examinations to round off the third term of 2019-2020 academic year.

Schools break for nine days, from 27 November and students return on Monday 7 December for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Education Permanent Secretary, Mrs. Nwanneka Onah, warned schools about not following the common calendar.

“Any school, be it public, mission or private, found to be contravening the approved school calendar shall be appropriately sanctioned,” she said.

In his statement, Commissioner Eze assured that arrangements are in place to safely reopen schools.

He told teachers to complement Enugu’s decision to reopen schools on 28-Sep by assisting to manage the approved Covid19 guidelines.

Eze said, for example that “no person will be allowed into any school without appropriate facemask or shield,” he said.

He also said that Primary Six and Junior Secondary Three pupils are not expected to resume since they have completed their studies.
