LAGOS — Lagos State Ministry of Education has ordered the reopening of all Chrisland Schools shut across the state.
This was contained in a press statement by the Lagos State Commissioner of Education, Mrs Folasade Adefisayo, made available to newsmen on Saturday.
According to the statement, the schools which were shut in the wake of alleged sexual misconduct of some students in Dubai and the video that went viral on socio media will be reopened on Monday, April 25, 2022.
Mrs Adefisayo explained that the reopening of the school was to ensure that other students were not denied access to learning as a new term begins on Monday, April 25 while an investigation into the issue continued.
The Commissioner said the Ministry in collaboration with other state agencies and the school’s Parent Teacher’s Association (PTA) would be working on necessary psychosocial support for the students involved in the immoral act.
The statement read, “The Lagos State Ministry of Education has directed that all Chrisland Schools shut for alleged misconduct of some students in Dubai be reopened from Monday, April 25, 2022.
“The directive follows a review of the ongoing administrative investigation into the incident. Besides, it is to ensure that students are not denied access to learning when the new term begins on Monday April 25 2022.
“The State Government shut the schools for the safety of students and the staff and to ensure unhindered investigation of the incident.
“The Ministry of Education and other relevant agencies of the state, in conjunction with the school’s Parent Teachers Association, will be working on scheduled psychosocial support for the students.
“An extensive assessment of the school’s procedure, especially on external trips and excursions, is being made to identify safety gaps and prevent such incidents.”
Mrs. Adefisayo also disclosed that the Ministry would commence a review of the guidelines/protocols governing private and public schools across the state within the next month.
