KADUNA — Kaduna State Government says the resumption date for the 2nd term of the 2021/2022 academic session as earlier slated for Monday, January 10th, 2022 remains unchanged.

A statement by the state Commissioner for Education, Halima Lawal explains that all public schools are to migrate to the 4-day working week while the 2021/2022 academic calendar would be adjusted to ensure coverage of the curriculum for the academic session.

“All Principals and Head Teachers are expected to receive boarding students on Sunday 9th of January 2022 and day students on Monday, 10th of January 2022 respectively.

“Administrators and proprietors of public and private schools and other learning centres, including Islamiyya and Madrasas, are encouraged to sustain school-based security committees set up last term and to continue ensuring safety of students in schools,” the statement said.
