The State Government of Osun State Government has warned private schools planning to reopen fully under the cover of the partial reopening of schools for students in exit classes to desist from doing so as the move would be illegal.
A statement signed by the state Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mrs Funke Egbemode, noted that the state had it on good authority that some private schools were planning to reopen under the cover of the partial reopening of schools to students in exit classes for the purpose of writing the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

She said doing this would “be illegal, an infraction and a flagrant disregard for the guidelines of both the state and Federal Government.”
According to her, the Federal Government has approved neither the reopening of all schools nor the resumption of all students.
“The partial reopening applies only to schools that have registered for WASSCE, and students in SS3 classes who will be sitting for the exams beginning from August 17.
“By implication, only 188 schools and 13,177 students that have been duly registered for WASSCE in the State of Osun are licensed by the State and Federal Government’s guidelines.
