When will school resume in Nigeria: Most Asked Question

When will school resume in Nigeria: Have you been asking when schools will resume? This page is for you! We will share all the latest news on school resumption in Nigerian

August 18th Update: FG replies NANS: We’ll reopen varsities when it’s safe to do so

The Federal Government has assured the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), that all schools in the country, including tertiary institutions, would reopened only when it is safe to do so.

The Chairman of Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 pandemic and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, gave this assurance Monday at the briefing of the Task Force.

NANS had two weeks ago, noted that though the pandemic hit many nations across the globe, Nigeria should take appropriate steps to remedy the situation and let the society run as seamless as possible.

He said: “Today, the Senior Secondary School Certificate (SSCE) examinations commenced all over the country, like in other West African States, and the PTF is happy to note the high level of compliance with the protocols for the re-opening of exit classes.

It is in this light that we appreciate the call by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) for the reopening of tertiary institutions. As a listening government, we wish to state that education is topmost on the priority list and the reopening of our institutions remain critical, within set safety parameters.”

That’s all! We love reading your opinion/views and from recent comments on this page, most students are now working and want school to resume next year.

Are you working and want school to resume?
Do you still want school to resume this year?

Use the comment box to share your opinion with us, we love reading them.

Reassurance: There’s still no official announcement from either Minister of Education or PTF that schools will resume 7th September. Ignore fake news. We will never update this page with a fake resumption date. We are closely monitoring the resumption date trend, as soon as there’s vital information, we will immediately update this page.

Please don’t forget to share this page with your friends. It means a lot to us and your friends as well.

August 13th Update: Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) Announces Resumption Date for First Year Students.

Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) formerly called Anambra State University (ANSU) seems to be the first Government-owned University to announce resumption date for students.

According to the school management, all COOU fresh students are to resume August 13th 2020 while their first semester exams will commence 20th August, 2020.

COOU calling students to resume school gives us hope that Tertiary Institution students will resume this year.

Talking about that, please note that there’s no official notice that schools will resume September 7th. Disregard any news stating otherwise.

We are monitoring the updates on school resumption and will update this page whenever there’s news.

August 11th Update: Will School Really Resume in September?

Lately most students have been asking us if it is true that all schools (tertiary institutions) in Nigeria will resume in September 2020?

ANS: THERE’S NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT SAYING SCHOOLS WILL RESUME in September.

However, there are strong indications that schools MIGHT resume September or maybe October.

Why do we (mycardpin.com.ng) think so?

National Universities Commission (NUC) directed all VC’s to ascertain Level of Preparedness for Safe Reopening of Varsities. Some schools like UNILORIN have indicated that they are ready to resume.
Over 10,000 COVID-19 patients were discharged few days ago. This seems to be a relief.
In a bid to end the ongoing strike, ASUU said they are ready to resume negotiations with FG.

Just to be clear again; we just assumed that schools might resume September or October 2020. There’s actually no official announcement yet.

We really look forward to such announcement?

How about you? What do you think? DO you also really think schools will resume September/October? Or Are you working already and don’t want to go back to school this year?

August 2nd Update: NUC Directs Vice Chancellors to Urgently Ascertain Level of Preparedness for Safe Reopening of Varsities

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has directed all Vice Chancellors (VC) to ascertain their level of preparedness for safe reopening of Universities.

This was disclosed in a letter signed by NUC Executive Secretary, Chris J. Maiyaki.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS DISCLOSED THAT COUNTRY AHEAD OF SCHOOL REOPENING

The Federal Government has disclosed that it is considering sensationalizing classes for primary, secondary, and Universities, and other tertiary institutions in the country ahead of school reopening. This means having morning and afternoon classes . This was made known by the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajiuba, on Wednesday during a briefing by the Presidential Task Force in Abuja. The minister also dispel the rumors that schools will reopen on June 8th stating that the government could not afford to take any costly risk, especially as it regards the safety of pupils and students in the country.

He said, “Until we are sure these children can go to school, return safely and not put those who are more susceptible than them at risk, then we are running a huge risk and God forbid, in our hurry, something happens to our children, I am not sure how anybody will be able to retrieve what has been lost.” Nwajiuba said the ministry is being guided by the advice of experts as well as those of the World Health Organization, noting that the pronouncement to regenerate schools in the country would be carefully arrived at because education is on the simultaneous list of the Nigerian Constitution “We are going to publish a specification on what we expect the reopening to look like. “For a country that has over 115,000 primary schools, you will understand that 35,000 of these who are private must agree to set up the same standard in other to allow children to go in. “We may have classes in the morning and classes in the afternoon so that we will have the whole of the infrastructure divided provided they can serve us. I am not sure we will have classes at night. But we can do with morning and afternoon for now,” he explained. “The Presidential Task Force wishes to use the instance of this celebration to congratulate our children and assure them, their parents and all stakeholders alike that all hands are on deck to reopen schools at a safe time.” He added. He appealed to private owners of schools in the country as well as other stake holders to co-operate with the administration in ensuring the safe reopening of schools in the country. What do you think about the idea of having morning and afternoon classes.
