Many primary and secondary schools in Lagos are taking it easy with the resumption in line with the Lagos State directives on the gradual reopening of schools. The turnout was actually low in many places.
However, some schools asked their Nursery pupils to resume even though the government directed that pre-primary school pupils should not resume yet.
The state’s 1017 public primary schools are yet to resume. When The Nation visited Akilo Primary School, Ogba and Anwar-Ur-Islam Primary School, Agege, only the headteachers were in the premises.
The Head Teacher of Anwar-Ur-Islam said the schools have not resume because primary school teachers were undergoing training for the Eko EXCEL (Excellence in Child Education Learning) initiative which late started last year.
“We have not resumed. Some teachers are going through the Eko EXCEL training for two weeks. The training will end this weekend. Teachers in our school participated in the training before COVID but you know some schools cannot resume while others are shut,” she said.
