Enugu State Commissioner for Education, Prof. Uchenna Eze has confirmed January 10 as the resumption date for new academic session for all schools in the state.
Eze disclosed this in Enugu on Wednesday, adding that the state was operating a uniform timetable for all schools, both public and private.
”The ministry has informed all schools to observe all existing COVID-19 prevention protocols. The ministry will also work relentlessly to ensure that schools in the state still remained COVID-19 free.
”We are going to do that by active cooperation and collaboration of schools’ management. As schools resume on Monday, the ministry supervisors will move from school to school to ensure all necessary COVID-19 prevention protocols are observed or put in place,” he said.
”They must also ensure good spacing of the pupils as well as functional sick bay and first aid box to ensure quick medical attention and isolation of any pupil suspected to fall sick during school hours.
“Pupils must come to school wearing their face masks,” he noted.
