January 18, 2021 has been slated as the new resumption date for the second half-first term of 2020/2021 academic session in Anambra state.
This was made known by the state’s Commissioner for Basic Education, Prof. Kate Omenugha, in a statement on Thursday, in Awka the state capital.
Noting the date change followed a directive by Gov. Willie Obiano after the state government had earlier announced Jan.11 as the resumption date, the Commissioner added that no student or teacher would be allowed into any school compound without a facemask.
This move she posited, is in a bid to control the spread of COVID-19 in the state.
Omenugha also added that Consequently, all schools are once again directed to observe all the COVID-19 prevention protocols as stipulated in the earlier circulated guidelines for the resumption of schools.
She also emphasized that school infirmaries are requested to ensure regular temperature checks of all entrants into the school compound.
