Following the directive by the state government towards the closing of all schools, both public and private, in a bid to prevent pupils and staff from getting more vulnerable to the Coronavirus pandemic, Lagos State Government has called on school administrators to comply strictly with the directive, saying anyone found culpable will be sanctioned.
The state’s Commissioner for Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, gave out the warning, in an interview on Thursday, adding that the Office of Education Quality Assurance will monitor the compliance level of schools within the state.
Adefisayo noted that “the state government’s decision is emotional, rational and logical as it is in the interest of the students, your safety is of paramount to the government.” (Text courtesy Vanguard)
