The Osun state government has tentatively set September 21 as the resumption date for all schools in the state after they were shut since March to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Primary and Secondary schools in the state will resume in phases for an abridged third term of the 2019/2020 academic session, the Commissioner for Information, Mrs. Funke Egbemode said in a statement.
The abridged third term of the 2019/2020 academic session will end on October 30, 2020. The government said in order to make up for lost grounds, the 2020/2021 academic session would begin from November 9, 2020.
“Because of the yuletide, schools will be expected to take a brief recess from December 24, 2020, to resume on January 4, 2021, for the concluding part of the first term of the new session which is scheduled to end January 22, 2021,” Mrs Egbemode said.
“The resumption date for the second term is set for February 1, and scheduled to end April 9.
“The third term of that session (2020/2021) commences on April 26, and runs till July 23,” she stated.
Tertiary educational institutions in the state are also expected to resume from Sept. 21, but they are required to plan their activities.
