The Ministry of Basic Education in Anambra State has approved gradual reopening of schools in the state, in line with the ministry’s approved timetable for the completion of the 2019/2020 academic session.
The Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Mr Nwabueze Nwankwo, who announced this in a statement in Awka, stated that though the third term would be short, schools were expected to make maximum use of the time, in addition to the various e-platform teaching.
“We expect that the Anambra teaching on air will continue as a backup to cover all the lost ground in the last six months,” he stated.
He added that through its various platforms, the ministry would continue with the phased reopening of schools, in addition to watching the health of the students.
The ministry urged parents to provide their children and wards with hand sanitisers and face masks to ensure their safety.
